Welcome to our Stampin’ Creative February Blog Hop and if you have arrived from Mikaela, you are very welcome. Our theme this month celebrates the Wonderful Women in our life. The lady I would like to celebrate this month is my own Mum.
You are having a sneak peek of both her Mother’s Day card and her gift – I’m 99% sure our secret is safe as she’s not too good with technology!!
We are not long back from our half-term break in Ireland where I’m from and where my parents still live and I treated my Mum to a mini-facial every night while there . One of the products she loved was Neal Yard’s Wild Rose Beauty Balm. You can read more about this amazing product here.
I used the special edition packaging as inspiration for my project as I wanted to make a card and gift bag using the Gift Bag Punch Board to match.
And here is my card.
And a close-up so you can see the gorgeous die-cut flowers from Botanical Blooms and the matching framelits which are available in a 15% off bundle together with the co-ordinating DSP.
Botanical Blooms is a 17 stamp set with 14 different dies and a bargain at £46.75. You can order it here. And a bonus for ordering this bundle before the end of March is that this order alone will qualify you for a FREE purchase from the Sale-a-bration catalogue. We have DSP, Vellum and several stamps sets to choose from, some of which co-ordinate perfectly (of course!!) with this particular set.
And as if that was not enough, use the current Rainbow Rewards code 2GEGTMK9, you will get an extra little gift in the post from me.
So without further ado, I’ll let you hop on over to Louise at Stampin Delight who I know has a fabulous creation waiting for you.
Do come back soon, as I have some great projects lined up to share with you, some of which I plan to share via Periscope next week. Have you tried it yet? It’s a great app for live videos – so much fun!
Below is the full line-up just in case you get lost.
Until next time, happy crafting

Great case of the box to create a gorgeous gift set, I’m sure your mum will love it as much as I do. Fabulous project xx

Thanks Liz, I probably wouldn’t have put these colours together but they worked well on the gift box so just went with it!
I love the way you have matched the packaging to your card and gift bag. Looks great!
