Another simple card makes a big statement
After finishing all my gift box ideas, I’ve been playing with my new BigShot dies from Stampin’ Up! (since I finally got my big order!). This is another of those quick and easy cards that has been bouncing around my head just waiting for my Botanical Builder dies. A Whisper white card base, a piece […]
Perfectly Wrapped – another wonderful kit
All last week I’ve been showing you all the different decorated boxes I’ve made. Today I’m showing you one of Stampin’ Up! wonderful project kits that will make your gift box making so easy! The “Perfectly Wrapped” project kit. Here’s a close-up of how I made each of the containers: The kit has all the pieces […]
“Love” for FMS250 challenge
I finally got my back-ordered Sunshine Wishes thinlit dies, so I could create this card, using the FMS250 sketch, that has been floating in my imagination all week. It was so simple, quick (under 5 minutes, tops!) and I love the way it looks. A stockpile card for my sweetie for the next occasion when I […]

I had this vision, but none of them came together the way I wanted. One problem was my new Holiday DSP papers hadn’t been delivered yet, […]
Silver Anniversary surprises – with a special gift box
I wanted to create a more masculine box for today’s post, hence the Basic Gray and silver. When I finished I realized this would also make a great Silver Anniversary gift box for someone special. A sad note since almost all of the supplies I used on this box and the boxes themselves retired this past year. […]
Flirty Flamingo flower box ready for treats
It’s that time of year for me – time to stock up on my boxes and bags for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, babies and other celebrations! This past week I worked on creating a variety of gift box and bag ideas. I’ll also use them for my upcoming class on “Gift Boxes & Bags Ideas.” The Stampin’ […]
You’re the Best Friendly Wishes
Another challenge template for my “You’re the Best” card to thank someone for what they do. Hopping back another week, I looked up Connie Stewart’s SGGWW 7-22-16 challenge template. Using templates makes card design so much easier, all you have to do is pick your favorite papers and colors combinations. I love B&W with a pop […]
