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!

Gingham Garden Birthday and Thank You cards

Hello!  Don't forget to head over to my online store to check out the new weekly deals revealed today!

For today's post, I wanted to share with you some cards I made using Stampin' Up!'s Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper and stamps from the hostess set Simply Sketched.  I made these with a coordinating box (You can see other samples of the box and matching cards here and here) that would make a great gift for someone.

Here are the three cards, slightly different but with the same supplies and layout:

The supplies I used for this card were the modern label punch, the scallop edge border punch (only on the last card, shown directly above), the Simply Sketched hostess stamp set, Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper, and rhinestone basic jewels.  The colors I used are Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, and Pear Pizazz.  That's it!  Easy!  Thanks for stopping by, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Gingham Garden Mini Thank You Cards

Hello!  I wanted to make a thank you card and treat for some friends of mine and this is what I came up with.  I made Chex Muddy Buddies and put them in a jar for each of my friends, covered the jars with Stampin' Up!'s gingham garden designer series paper, stamped some 'Thank You's' with the new 'Another Thank You' photopolymer stamp set, and then made some matching mini 3 x 3 thank you cards to go with the muddy buddies.

Sorry the lighting in the pictures is not great.  I was in a hurry to deliver the treats that same day and couldn't wait to take pictures later, since I was giving them all away.  See you tomorrow!
