Happiest Day Dragonflies

I'm excited to share this gorgeous card with you.  I'm using the Happiest Day Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog, it's a great set!  I decided to pair it up with the Perennial Lavender DSP.  This is a DSP from a past mini catalog that carried into the Annual Catalog. I used 4 different DSP patterns and layered them up to really add some depth and detail to the card.  Layering them on the diagonal adds lots of great interest for your eyes too.

There are no dies or punches in this set so the two dragonflies were fussy cut.  The greeting is so fun.  I can think of lots of people I'd give this card to. To finish the card I used some Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots and some Crumb Cake twine from the Essential's Baker's Twine Package.

Gorgeous Grape 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" score the long side at 4 1/4"

Crumb Cake 2" x 4"

Hearts and Hugs Thanks

I have the sweetest little 'thank you' card to share today.  This one uses the Hearts and Hugs Bundle from Annual Catalog.  I haven't pulled out this bundle in a while but it's so cute and I love using it!  I kept my card really simple with some background stamping and minimal embellishments.  But the colors and the fun coloring really make this a stand out card.  My 'thanks' greeting is from the Ice Cream Swirl Set, it's a great set to have and it has some incredible coordinating dies too!

I used Stampin' Blends to color my mouse.  I used Gray Granite for the body, Melon Mambo for the heart and some Pretty In Pink for the nose, cheeks and ears.  It's a really fun image to color!

Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Week 5-Snowy Wonder Milk Carton Box-VIDEO

I'm back with week 5 of my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series!  I LOVE this series.  It's one of my favorite things I do every year.  This weeks project is one of my very favorites! I've made lots and lots of different milk carton style boxes over the years.  They're always so cute!  One of the things that always bugs me about a milk carton box is that when you give it to someone, often they have to rip your box apart to get the treat.  Sure you could use a clip, sure you could thread it with ribbon but both options either require you to have lots of clips on hand or your recipient will have to rethread the ribbon which sometime can be a hassle.  So I'm solving that problem today!  This milk carton box has a removable lid! It's easy to take the lid on and off and nothing gets ripped apart!

I'm using the Snowy Wonder Bundle, this one is soooo cute but I definitely wanted to use the snowman because my treats are snowman themed, so it coordinates perfectly! I'm also using the super popular Take A Bow DSP-such a good package! I'm using the DSP for some color inspiration, with a splash of Pool Party to bring in the snowy vibes. Make sure to check out the video below for all the details and step by step instructions for the box.

The bundle makes is so easy to stamp your images and die cut them.  I added a little color to my snowman with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Marker for the carrot and a couple swooshes of my Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend Marker for some shading on the snowman.  It really brings him to life.  I used the Everyday Details Dies for my tag.  The dotted border is so adorable.

I especially love cards that have fun folds or little surprises, this card is exactly that.  The front panel of this tri-fold card has a die cut window, when you open it it's super special! The house we kept really simple for this card.  We're letting the fun fold and the DSP do all the hard work.
