Instructions: Take a paper from the paper collection and adhere it on a piece of 12 x 12" cardboard. Make 2 holes in the top corners and pull a ribbon through it make a stop with a bead at the end. Mat your photo on a piece of Bordeaux Cardstock and adhere on your layout. Take a piece of pink lace and adhere along the bottom of the photo, also add a piece of the bling on a roll. I used a little silver heart on the dog's belt.
Stamp your peony petals on white cardstock with Memento Rhubarb Ink, color them with Rose Bud, Brilliance Coral and in the middle, Peanut Brittle. Then die cut with the coordinating die and shape them with the Flower Mold - see Video. Stamp the Lilacs with Rhubarb Stalk and color them also with Rose Bud and Coral. Diecut with the coordinating die and shape them on your shaping mat from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.
Stamp the leaves, peony bud, peony blossoms, lilac stem in Tuxedo Black and diecut with coordinating dies. Color the leaves with the Bamboo Leaves and in some spots, add Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Color the lilac stem, peony bud and blossoms in Rose Bud, Coral, and Bamboo Leaves ink. Shape as desired with the flower shaping kit.
Diecut the lilac buds and sweetheart border on Bordeaux cardstock, cut the border in half and only use the curly pieces. Now you can make a nice flower arrangement on the bottom right. Take your Pearl Pen and make some dots in your flowers and on the lilac and some glitter glue on some flat flowers, and then with the 3D Crystal lacquer you can make some water drops on the flowers.
Take the wooden word and put some Versamark Ink on it and then put some gold embossing powder on top and heat with the heating tool. Adhere it on the upper left side of your photo.

Instructions: Click here to view more photos of this project. The finished size of this cigar box is 8.89" x 5.51" x 2.95" (17.5cm x 14cm x 7.5cm). The cigar box size used 6.299" x 1.259" (16cm x 11cm x 3.2cm)This project uses 5 peony flowers, 3 peony buds, 24 double lilacs, 5 lilac buds and 15 peony leaves.
Taking the white paint, paint the inside and out side of the box. Put aside to dry. Taking the white card stock cut x2 3.779" x 10.629" (9.6cm x 27cm) Make a fold at 5.70" (14.5cm) from one and 5.70" and 5.90" (14.5cm and 15cm ) on the other , adhere the two pieces together so you have a triple fold card folder with the short ends glued to make the base. Taking the pink card stock cut the card matting a little smaller for the inside and out side of the card folder. Taking the paper pad find the paper with the brick and window with flowers printed on it, use this for the second matting. Again cut a little smaller than the pink card stock. Adhere all the matting to the white card folder base. Cut extra matting for the card folder front. Adhere this to the card front with a layer of cardboard between the two layers to give height.
Taking the Fleur boarder die and cut a double boarder for the front. 5.118" (13cm) long. Two single boarded pockets, 1st 2.16" x 5.51" (5.5cm x 14cm) 2nd 3.34" x 2.36" (8.5cm x 6cm). Apply glitter to the edges of the lace boarders with the aid of the clear drying adhesive. When dry, trim and adhere in place as seen in the detail photos. These will form the pockets for the tags for journaling and photos. The front, trim the boarder and adhere on a angle.
Make the flowers and leaves using the large and small Sweet Peony stamps and matching dies. Use also the Lush Lilac stamps and dies for the lilacs and lilac buds. Use the 3D stamp paint to bring color to the flowers and leaves. Use the flower-shaping mold to bring the shape into the flowers. Using the flower shaping tools to ball the flower centers only. Make holes in the flower centers for the stamens. Stack the petals and adhere together using the hot glue gun or the clear drying glue. Apply the glitter to the flower petal using the clear drying glue and dipping into the glitter. Put aside to dry. Do the same with the leaves. Arrange the flowers into clusters as seen in the photo of the project. Find the printed sentiment. Trim and adhere in place on the front of the card folder.
Make the tags by cutting from both pink card stock and the design paper. Place the tags into the pockets. Taking the pink card stock, cut strips to cover the box sides, box base, box lid inside and out side. Cut a little smaller than the box so the white paint will still show. Taking the paper pad find the paper with the brick and window with flowers printed on it. Cut strips for the matting of the box sides, this is cut a little smaller than the pink card stock. Adhere to the sides. Taking the same design paper cut the paper for matting for the box lid top, again a little smaller than the pink card stock. Spritz the paper with water, when dry adhere loosely so it will not sit flat. Taking the same paper design cut two mattings a little smaller than the other for the box lid inside. Adhere layers of cardboard between the matting layers. Adhere all layers to the inside lid.
Taking the Fleur boarder die cut a double lace boarder from the design paper that measures (15cm) trim this to fit the matting of the lid inside. Apply glitter to the lace edges and when dry adhere in place. Make a triple bow from the ribbon; adhere to the lower center of the box lid. Arrange the flower clusters as seen in the project photo. Place the card folder into the box. Because the flowers are 3d and this cigar box is to low, the box does not close. So this is a table centerpiece that stays open. To keep it open, apply glue from the hot glue gun to the out side box hinge so you will not see it.

Cut 3 additional blossoms for each image from Green Cardstock. Layer the 3 green images under each blossom and pop up with a small amount of mounting tape between each. This will add great dimension. Avoid placing the tape too close to the edge to avoid the tape from showing.
Cut a green designer paper from the Sweet Peony Paper Collection using the Eyelet Oval Die. Cut an additional layer from foam matting. Sponge the top of the green cardstock with 3D Green Grass Metallic Paint. Sponge the edges with Olive Grove Memento Ink. Splatter the rose colored designer paper with more of the Metallic Green Grass Paint that has been thinned down with water. A toothbrush works well for the splatter. Adhere the foam to the green designer paper using Designer Dries Clear Adhesive. This will allow the green to show through the eyelets. Use a white gel pen to accent the lines on the green mat. Adhere rhinestones to the center of each eyelet. Adhere the layers.
Cut the sentiment from the Sweet Peony Designer Paper. Mat with white and green cardstock. Pop the sentiment on the page as shown using mounting tape.

Instructions: For Card Base: Card base is 5.5 x7.5" on white card. Cut a pattern paper from collection measuring 5.25 x 7.25". Using the Fleur Border Basics set, cut a coordinating pattern using the curve so paper measures approximately 4.75 x 5.75". Once you have this curve cut on the pattern paper, take one of the pattern dies and cut a border on white card and mat this under the curve border. Glue on three sides to create a pocket. Cut out the Sweetheart border die on white cards as well. And on top of this attach a 1" x 6" green strip of paper from collection. I attached the two border dies underneath and wrapped this around the front of the card base as well. Adhere this these layers to card base.
Stamp out 3 sets of the large peony using plum archival ink on white card. Stamp and cut out 1 set of the small peony using plum archival ink on white card. Color centers of the flowers with sunflower archival ink and outer edges with Plum archival ink. Pierce in center with paper piercer to make room for stamen and foam buds.
Stamp and cut four large peony leaves using leaf green and color with fern green and leaf green archival ink. Stamp and cut out one classic rose vine and use as detail layers under the flower bunches.
To mold the flowers, I have cut an older molding mat in half and hot glued it together to form a double layer molding mat. This allows some deeper shaping abilities. Insert the foam bud in the center of the second largest peony placing glue in center, attach another layer of flower then add 2 layers of the largest peony. Note: Color the foam buds using the sunflower archival ink. These will go in the centers. Create 1 large flower this size. Create 1 medium flower and I used four smaller peonies. Do not throw away the cut off wire stems
Take the stylus tool and wrap the cut off wire around the stylus to form a curly wire piece, insert these throughout the flower clusters to add some detail. Cut out two tags in green using the luggage and tag die. Mat these in white card. Attach twine in hole for some detail. Tuck these into the pocket of the card as shown. Feel free to detail all the flowers and leaves with Crystal Clear. Attach sentiment from collection. Complete card as I have shown in my sample.

Instructions: The final card measures 6.5" x 4" created with fresh handmade peonies and partial die cutting and embossing technique. Start by taking a blue card stock and cut and score it to measure at 6.5"x 4". For the second layer cut white card stock 1/8" smaller than the card base. For the third layer take a pattern paper from the Peony collection and then cut it 1/8" smaller than the second layer. Distress all the edges for all the layers. For the front layer lay the decorative medallion die and then run it through the big shot with an embossing mat so that the die doesn't cut through. Later I die cut another piece of the same die and then placed it on the embossed layer so that it is raised with a color offset.
For the flowers, stamp several pieces of the small and large peonies on a white card stock using the Cobalt Archival ink. Using the Distress Broken China ink, color the petals. Die cut all the pieces using coordinating die. Wet them with a little water and then shape the petals. Heat set once all flowers are shaped. Pierce the center and insert the stamens. For the leaves stamp the leaves using Library Green on a white card stock and then color them using Leaf Green Archival ink. Die cut all the pieces using the coordinating die and then shape them and heat set all the leaves. For the filler leaves and flowers stamp the leaves from the simply classic stamp collection using Jet Black Archival ink and then die cut all the pieces. Color the leaves using zig brushes. For the peonies stamp the large peony on a vellum sheet using embossing ink and then heat set with white embossing powder. Once set die cut using the coordinating dies and glitter the flowers and leaves using the Crystal Clear.
To assemble the card, create a bouquet at the top corner of the card using the hand shaped flowers, leaves on a backdrop of vellum flat peonies. Tuck in some small filler flowers and also a small carnation to balance the color palette. Place the filler leaves in appropriate places. On diagonal end place another bunch of flowers and leaves and stamp the sentiment on a small piece of cardstock using Jet Black ink. Die cut a decorative piece from the Window Box Elements using white cardstock, cut in half lengthwise. Arrange as shown and adhere.
