Origami Box - Serendipity Stamps

This week's Design Team challenge from Serendipity Stamps is to create a project from the Scor-Pal project web page.  I thought this Origami box was so cute I just had to make it! The finished size of the box is about 3 inches square.

Here is the box with one side open, one side closed.  The little black cone where the dragonfly sits is made with a flat round die cut, slit to the middle and glued with the scallops overlapping.  Only one side of the cone is glued to the box.

 Here are two more views of the box open.

Geisha - G45 Bird Song

I'm still on a G45 Bird Song kick as you can see.....  I can't resist playing with this paper even if it means no stamping!  I simply layered the papers and inked the edges.

These papers are so beautiful and color coordinated it makes it easy to mix patterns. The red piece is a die cut asian coin but you could also use a 1 inch circle punch instead.

Postage Card - G45 Bird Song

I wanted to create a vintage "postal" card with my new Bird Song paper so I ripped a page out of an old book for my base to start.  I stamped it with a postmark and an asian postal stamp to make the base more interesting. 

Then, I just layered my paper on a red card base and added the scalloped border.

The embellishment is a chipboard tag with a sheer black ribbon tied on it.  The little scallop peeking out from behind it is a tiny diecut (Labels 20).

It is a little unusual in size - 4 3/4 x 6 3/8.

Bird Song Window Card

I FINALLY got my hands on the new Graphic 45 Bird Song paper!  So, I started fussy-cutting and came up with these beautiful flowers. 

I also got some of the newly released Spellbinders dies and used Marvelous Squares for the frame and corner accent.  I glued the flowers to the frame and then used foam tape to pop it up off the background paper.

I used foam tape to pop up the sentiment too.  No stamps at all on this card!  I edged all the papers with a Cat's Eye in Lava Black, including the flowers.  Finished size is 5 inches square.
