How to use the Baby Blossoms for larger pieces of art

The Baby Blossoms set is ideal for small single flowers to adorn a topper, but it's also fantastic for creating a major piece of background paper artwork.

I'm always in need of little gift boxes for my hostess treats and door prizes and this is one that I made recently when my MIL asked for a recap of this little box design. The random pattern of small flowers easily fills this larger space.

Recipe

Stamp sets: Baby Blossoms, Afterthoughts (sentiment)

Cardstock: Confetti White, Marina Mist

Ink: Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight

Punches: Scallop Trim Border, 2" x 1-3/8" Oval

6mm Grosgrain Ribbon: Marina Mist

Tools: Crop-a-dile, Stamp-a-ma-jig

The box is the 2-5-7-10 box from the tutorial over on Splitcoaststampers here. I wanted a pale colour to use as the base for the box for the flowers but wanted a more substantial card weight than Whisper White or Very Vanilla and so opted for Confetti White which is quite a thick card. After cutting and scoring the box base from the Confetti White, I stamped it all over with a mixture of the small flowers and leaves. I used Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue and So Saffron inks with the most "filled in/complete" flowers (which are the base images). Leaves were added in between these using Pear Pizzazz ink. Then, using a stamp-a-ma-jig I went over the original flowers and added the "detail" images with Regal Rose (stamped off once to get a paler shade), Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight inks. The box lid was punched with the Scallop Trim Border and a further Scallop Trim Border of Marina Mist was added behind it before the box was assembled. Marina Mist was threaded into the box lid closure holes made by the Crop-a-dile. The frame from the Baby Blossoms set was stamped onto Marina Mist and Confetti White card using Marina Mist ink. The sentiment and the flower were added to the inside of the Confetti White frame using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for placement. After hand-cutting the Marina Mist frame and popping up on the box front with dimensionals, the sentiment was punched out with the 2" x 1-3/8" Oval and also popped up on dimensionals.
