You would not believe the excitement I had when I first laid eye upon the Gift from the Garden Stamp Set that Stampin’ Up! must have specially made with my good friend in mind.
My dear friend Lauren is an avid gardener and a very good one at that. When I say very good … I mean amazingly good. What that girl can create in a garden is beyond me and it puts my gardening skills to shame. Well, I nearly burst with excitement when I saw her surname used within the sentiments of this stamp set and just had to buy it.
… and added the internal sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes Stamp Set. The Wellington Boots remind me of a Ceramic Boot that we gave her a year ago at Easter that she planted up with flourishing flowers.
I couldn’t just leave it there …. knowing Lauren as I do, I know that she would happily give gifts from her garden, so a Gift that just keeps giving, was a must for her Birthday … and this was what I came up with, which I hope she likes …
fab bundle of loveliness Mikaela. I'm sure your friend loves it and thank you for the inspiration as I've got this set to play with also. Zx
Adorable! Am sure your friend loves them?
I'm completely in love with this cards. A D O R A B L E stamp set combination. I love the little flowers from the tree builder punch they defo give an ultra cute touch to the wellies. TFS
Oh Zoë, You will thoroughly enjoy playing with it, 'cause I did.
Judi, she most certainly did.
Oh Bibi, thank you for your kind words. I too love the little flowers. There used to be a trio of Punches with a similar flower to this that retired a few years ago, so I was pleased to see the little flower within the Builder Tree Punch. So Cute.
Thank you all for taking the time to pass comment. It is much appreciated xx
Absolutely gorgeous!!! I would LOVE to get the measurements or tutorial on how to make that box, once you can get to it! You know, I saw this stamp set and thought it was adorable, but not sure how many people I know that are avid gardeners…although it is cute enough to use for anyway. What you did was amazing, and I'm sure it was probably one of your friend's favorite gifts!
Hi Happy Stamper, Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving a message and for your lovely comments. I have managed to make something else that I have posted today, using the same size of box. I have included the box measurements for you in my Dinosaur Bingo post. There are no internal dividers as there were in this project and unfortunately I don't have the measurements for this, as I made them as I went along. I will try to come up with something to detail how you create them and tag you in that shortly, but for now I hope the main box measurements will help you along the way. Kind Regards, Mikaela xx http://thecraftyoinkpen.blogspot.co.uk/2015/07/no-bones-about-it-its-dinosaur-bingo.html
