Handmade Box and Matching Cards

Hello!  Today's project is one I've wanted to share with you for a while.  I made this beautiful card box for my friend Mayra for her birthday, and I absolutely loved how it came out!  I had made one last year before going to convention, but I wanted to play around with other paper styles to see if I could make one that was less 'fancy or frilly' as my customers would say.   I made the box all by myself, just figured out the dimensions in my head. And of course, I made matching cards to go inside!  I used Daffodil Delight for my box, and then Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight for the cards.  The Designer Series Paper I used was Gingham Garden, and I used the Four You Stamp set.  I also used some retired Island Indigo Satin Ribbon, and the Apothecary Accents Framelits, Decorative Label Punch, Scallop Edge Punch, Dimensionals, and Basic Jewels Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed today's post.  I'll see you tomorrow!

Sweet Sorbet Thank You Card

Hello!  Today's post is a card I made with new stuff!  I am in love with the new paper you can earn through Sale-A-Bration!!!!  I picked it from the catalog not really loving it, but now that I made some cards with it, I'm just the opposite!  As I was cutting the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper, I was reminded of my favorite movie You've Got Mail and a fresh bouquet of spring flowers!  It made me happy just thinking about those things. I didn't have a recipient in mind when I first started making this card, but the more I worked on the card, I knew exactly who the card is perfect for-my sister in law!  She'll love it because it's totally her style and she loves color combinations like this.

Supplies used on this card were Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (A free Sale-A-Bration Item available starting January 28th), Pansy Punch, Four You Stamp Set, Summer Starfruit Cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock, Pool Party Cardstock, Angled Tag Topper Punch, twine, and Sahara Sand ink.  You're going to love all the new products coming out in the Occasions Catalog on January 3rd!  I'm loving everything I ordered!  Thanks for stopping by today and I'll see you tomorrow!
