Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month.  I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

Save

They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

Here's a picture of the assembly process:

Here are the box dimensions:

• Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
• Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

Tips:

• Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
• Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
• Fill with chocolate!

  I thought I'd share the event we held on December 16th. My local friends and I held a big fundraising Holiday Bazaar to benefit a few local non-profit organizations.

  Save

  It was held at our church and as you can see it was jam packed with fabulous handmade crafts & goodies. We offered tons of crafts, gifts, handmade cards, baked & home-canned goods, cookie trays & more.  Plus we had a silent auction, vendors and lunch! 

  It was a great success as we raised over $3200 for our charities! It was a fun-filled day and the time & effort was well worth it to support our local non-profits.

• NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial

  December 28, 2023

  ---

  I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them. 

  Save

  It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th.  The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White. 

  There's a few special details I'd like to point out:

  1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
  2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. 
  3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here.  You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.

  Here's a close-up of this technique.

  I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out:

  I hope you'll try this easy but unique card layout!
