Welcome to week 4 of the 2023-24 Colour Creations Blog Hop, this week we are looking the 4th new In Color and it is Pebbled Path. It is a fantastic Neutral and I have used it as a base for all the other lovely colours to go from.

So for you today I have made a card full of flowers and a lovely box for it to go in as you just can't give this Birthday card in anything but a gift box.

I have fallen in love with making flowers and then Stampin' Up! came out with the Paper Florist Dies and I just had to get them.

So for my card and box I have used many of the dies from the Paper Florist Dies as you can see but it is so much fun. Then I had the Seasonal Branches Bundle so I added a couple of branches from the dies. Then of course as I was in the die mode so I used the Wanted to say dies to put the Happy Birthday on my card. Ok just because, well not just because I started with it actually the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

So you might be asking what are all these gorgeous colours that I have made this card in. Well the card base and the Exposed brick layer is in our Colour of the week Pebbled Path. Plus you might be able to see some beautiful Pebble Path ribbon hiding behind the large Bubble Bath flower. The flower at the top is the new Lemon Lolly and isn't that a gorgeous yellow! The bottom flower as well as the Happy Birthday is in Moody Mauve with a Wild Wheat centre. I have added some Berry Burst flowers at the end of Mossy Meadow stems and Old Olive leaves just lifts everything. Oh Don't forget the branches they are in crumb cake.

I realised that my whole project had not one bit of stamping so I took out the Seasonal Branches stamp set and used the 2 stamps to make my inside greeting! I have stamped the greeting with Pebbled Path ink.

Well a card like we have made needed a gift box and I have a made a belly band to go around it.

I have used the same flowers again for the belly band and attached them to a small strip of Pebbled Path card.

Once the box was made and I had added a layer of card that had been embossed with the Exposed brick I added the Pebbled Path ribbon and tied it with bow at the top of the box. I then added some Tear 'N' Tape on the  ribbon to add the little flower band to the ribbon.

Now this box is fantastic so how did I manage to work out how big I needed it! Well I made the card and put the flowers on to the card all decorated up. Then I measured how tall the flower was. It was just under 4 cm tall so I made a 4 cm tall box. So I got a piece of copy paper and scored 1 side at 4 cm and 1 end at 4cm. Then I placed the card flat on to the copy paper against the score edge. I then marked where the card finished and then scored both those 2 remaining ends. Those 2 remaining ends I cut from the score line 4 cm away. Now I had the size of the card stock base I needed to cut and then you can score at 4 cm all round. Snip up to the score lines on 2 corners on both ends and adhere together. Now for the top to fit perfectly you just have to add 2 mm or 1/16th to the long side and the short side of your measurements for the base and then score at 4 cm all round and you will have the top of your box fit perfectly.

    Stunning card Sharon, great combination of colours you've used for your flowers. Very clever idea to make a co ordinating box to hold your beautiful card.

    So much work in your card and box this week Sharon, but well worth it, I'd say. You've used Pebbled Path to really show off those other colours to perfection.
