Next in my curvy creations Series is this beautiful dragonfly card  using the soon to be release dragonfly garden suite ! I just love this suite as it has a punch for quick and effective cutting out that even the most novice of crafters can enjoy without laying out for a die cutting machine. Anyway back to the card !  I used a standard card base and layered a piece of the Danny garden DSP measuring 55/8” x 37/8” on to the card which I stamped my sentiment directly on. I used memento ink but in hindsight I should have used stazon for a bolder effect. I then cut 2 pieced of whisper white card using the curvy dies and stamped onto them using the sprig  stamp from the curvy Christmas stamp set in pretty peacock.  I glued the rear piece directly onto my card base with the DSP and then attached the front piece using dimensionals to give it some depth.  Next I stamped 2 dragonflies from the dragonfly garden stampset onto Vellum I then coloured the reverse of each...

 I always look for unique ways of wrapping items but sometime a box is all you need and this week i needed a few and this is the first (and second) of the ones I needed this week  The first box I lined with a white inner box  And added the silver mesh ribbon  For the 2nd box I decided to ramp it up a notch and added a touch of red ! Using red ribbon  And a red inner box  The boxes have a magnetic closure to make sure they stay closed  So to make this box which measures 5 3/4” x 3 1/4” and 2” high  So will hold loads of goodies   You will need  A piece of card stock measuring 9 3/4” x 7 1/4” scored at 2” on all 4 sides to make the outer box  A piece of card measuring 9 5/8” x 7 1/8” scored at. 2 “ on all 4 sided for the lining box  I made the outer box as normal but the inner box i made so you didn’t see the flaps on the inside if the box  I next cut a piece of my outer coloured card stock measuring 5 3/4” x 5 1/4” sco...
