Spring Flowers

Welcome to the April Creation Station Blog Hop!  Now that spring is officially here, we thought you'd love to see ideas featuring SPRING FLOWERS and the BOTANICAL BLOOMS BUNDLE.  Since I've been all about the March My Paper Pumpkin lately, I made a fun project for you featuring it and the BOTANICAL BUILDERS FRAMELITS.



Yesterday, I used the same collection of colors that coordinate beautifully with the March My Paper Pumpkin.  I carried that theme over to today and made a card and set of tags that would make a perfect hostess gift!



First let's talk about the box of tags.  I came up with 6 tags for you but I didn't want to just show you the tags, I wanted a box to give them in.  The first thing that came to mind was to the oh so easy TAG A BAG GIFT BOXES!  These boxes are super easy to put together and make a fabulous gift with little effort!  I simply created a belly band to decorate the clear sleeve (I used a part of the MPP kit!) and added a flower. What could be simpler!



Now, let's talk TAGS!  These little guys came together in a flash!  I sat down with the MPP kit and a few punches and they practically made themselves!  I used different bits and pieces of the kit to give variety.  The SCALLOPED TAG TOPPER PUNCH came in handy as well as the BANNER TRIPLE PUNCH.  And of course, we can't forget about the BOTANICAL BUILDER FRAMELITS!  Here's a quick tip for saving time, get the colors of cardstock that you are focusing on and go ahead and die cut a bunch of flowers all at once.  When you are creating this gives you the opportunity to try out different color combinations and looks.  Anything that is left over can be easily used on another card or project!



I also used the 1 1/4" CIRCLE PUNCH for sentiments.  You may notice that I used the My Paper Pumpkin stamp set for all the tags.  The simple greetings make great tags!



I also added in the gorgeous POOL PARTY GLITTER RIBBON.  It was a great finishing touch for my tags!



I also added in the green pearls from the MPP kit and WHITE PERFECT ACCENTS for the center of my flowers.



Every gift needs a card, so I created a card with the CUPS & KETTLE FRAMELITS and more bits and pieces of the My Paper Pumpkin kit.  The card coordinates beautifully since I used the floral paper on the card to tie it all together.
