This is SO exciting to get such a warm welcome into the industry. Thank you to all of you who have supported me from the beginning. I have to say there have been quite a few people who told me that I would not be able to do this on my own, and while I’ve had my share of learning experiences (with many more to come), here I am!

This shows everyone, you can do anything you set out to do! Goals big or small, nothing is out of grasp.

So without further delay, let’s get to what you came for! More samples!

I have 2 samples for you and today my Design Team member Katie Cotton has 2 projects to share with you as well!

Here is a PEEK at her 2 projects.

HMM! I like what I see so far ☺

Now it is my turn!

First I will share a SIMPLY elegant gift set that uses our All A Flutter © image and sentiment set, in coordination with the Pretty Packaging template: Shutt-erfly ©. This template is flying off the virtual shelf!!! I simply can’t wait to see your take on projects made with it.

I wanted to share a SIMPLE coordinating gift set with you.

I LOVE chocolate and white. A monochromatic color scheme always looks so clean, fresh and elegant.

So for my box, I made it as large as I could to fit 12 X 12 cardstock. I cut my template from a Ganache cardstock.

What goes better with butterflies than this punched border?! Simple WOW!

I was inspired by the wired polka dot ribbon for this gift set. It reminded me of the dotted wing prints from the All A Flutter © set.

I kept this as simple as possible. I used my nestabilities for my circle layers.

 I stamped the butterfly first, then masked it. I stamped a sentiment from the All A Flutter Sentiment set © to fill the background. LOVE the look!

The shimmer in the wing prints, matched the shimmer in the ribbon. I brown stickles to the dots, and it was perfect!

I love the look of the wired ribbon too.

Now for the top…I view the “butterfly/flower” shaped closure as the “leaves” for my vellum flower, which I scored to add more POP and interest.

Take note of the bottom. There is a scalloped square layer. I used the largest scallop square nestability. Fits perfectly!

I decided that I would make a card to match my Shutt-erfly © box

“It’s the little things that make life big” I adore that sentiment, and enjoyed finally having it in this fun and whimscial font.

Now I have a sample utilizing the All A Flutter © Pretty Packaging.

When I created this I knew I wanted to create a gift package with this template where the wings flutter forward!

I think it looks amazing in person! And it’s filled with an assortment of DOVE chocolates.

I created the main All A Flutter © template in the standard size, and assembled it as directed. I then resized the wing front/back, and wing prints to be about 2 inches smaller.

As you can see I also used the NEW! Pretty Printables Paper in Shutt-erfly © for my wing prints. I switched out the circles for buttons. The body cut out was created using my oldie but goodie paper crimper!

I added a simple ribbon handle, that is attached using some cute flower brads, to match (from Making Memories).

I knew I wanted to add a tag

choice-tag-clutt.JPG

So I created one using some of the Flutter-By Pretty Printables paper.

I tied a tag with some twine, then added a clip to adhere a tag.

side-tag-flut.JPG

I stamped my solid butterfly in chocolate ink, the solid center in a rust ink, then stamped the grid like wing prints, repeating in a copper in. To ADD to that, I painted the butterfly with pumpkin Shimmerz. For the body, I added some copper micro-beads.

DONE!
