ICS Blog Hop Tranquil Textures

Hi Friends!

This month at the ICS Design Team, we are highlighting Designer Series Paper with a paper palooza!

For my projects, I wanted to highlight the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper, but I wanted to use it with a totally unrelated suite of products.  So I chose the Bouquet Blooms Stamp Set and Gatefold Blossoms Framelits Dies, which can be purchased together as a bundle (Bouquet Blooms) at a 10% savings.

The framelits make a cute gatefold card, using a 9" x 5" piece of cardstock.  It's pretty easy to do.  Here's a great video from Stampin' Up! showing how to put together the card:

I also wanted to make a gift, so I chose a hand sanitizer holder and modified it to make it a bit wider.  I originally got the idea from Dawn Griffith, but she had used the retired oval punch (this was years ago) and I wanted to use the smallest oval form the Layering Ovals Framelits, so I had to make the paper wider.  I also accented the large flower by using Jewel Pearls and coloring them with an Old Olive (Dark) Stampin' Blend marker.

I had some left over pieces, so I decide that I needed to make a tag to go with my card and gift.
