A Lovely Box of Chocolate!

Todays Naught a Card Nor a Layout project is a little-ish box for chocolate!  (or some other goody!)  I found this idea some time back, and decided to make a bit of a change.  (If this is the second time you are seeing this, I apologize!  But this time, it has the photos!)

I love the idea of it opening like a book, so that’s how I started!  My cardstock isn’t as long as her’s is, apparently, so I had to make a few changes.  The ribbon I used is no longer available, but it worked so well with this project!

Once you open the ‘book’, you have a spot to the left that you can add a note.  Then there is a box to open that you can fill with chocolate or candies or whatever you little heart desires!

I had so much fun making this little window scene!!  Instead of foam, I did multiple cuts of the window die cut, and glued them together.  

I do love my little coffee set, so I went with that for the front.  Maybe I will include some yummy coffee packs inside!

I hope you love my little project!!  It makes me smile every time I look at it!  (I might have to keep it around for a little bit, just because it makes me so happy!)

If you didn’t already know, I make custom orders for people.  Items like these, cards, frames, and so many more things!  If you have something that you are wanting, please reach out!  I would love to help you!

Thank you so much for supporting me and my small business!  I truly appreciate it!

Thank you, Friend!

Happy Monday, friends!  This week we are focusing on the Hello Lovely paper packet, as I’m sure you have seen!  This paper packet is in the core book, available for an entire year!  You have a few months left to be able to get it!  The paper packs in the core book have more sheets of paper in them!  

This is the card that we will put together in the FB live event, today!  I know you will love it, too!  

 

I used some fantastic Blue Belle glitter paper on here, and it shines so much!  Add a few liquid pearls, and voila!  The card is finished!

 

 

If you are seeing this before the FB live, hop over to my FB page and have a quick watch!

I can’t wait to see how this inspires you!

It’s a Lovely week!

The Lovely paper packet is one that is in the Core Catalog, and as such it has two features.  One: It is larger than the paper packets that are in the smaller books and Two: it doesn’t have a scrapbooking or cardmaking workshop.  There are no specific stamps that match it, either.  However, there are a few that would work well with this paper packet!

Let’s check out what you can get with this paper, shall we?

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I have some great things for you this week, with this paper, and I can’t wait to show you!  I’ll see you tomorrow for the FB live Card Challenge!

Sending Many Prayers

Now, it’s never fun to have to have sympathy cards or get well cards, but, we all need them.  Today I have a simply beautiful card that went together quickly (a theme I seem to have).

 

The Mix in paper packet worked perfectly for this card!  I added in the February SOTM for the borders and the sentiment from the current Card Subscription.

 

 

I added some liquid pearls to the card to give it a few embellishments.

 

 

I added a bit to the inside of the card, and this time I did something on both the inner and outer edges of the white daisy piece that I have on the inside of the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have enjoyed all of the projects made with the Mix In paper pack this week!  It’s been fun playing with them!

I would love it if you left me a little comment below!

Mix in a little Ferrero Rocher

Happy Thursday!  Are you ready for the day?  Today I have this little box, that I have had pinned for a while, and thought this would be the perfect little gift to make to show you for this fun Naught a Card nor Layout Thursday!

She has some great instructions and even a video as well.  (I did have to make a few corrections/decisions along the way).  

Wouldn’t it be so much more fun to give this little box of chocolate than just a package of candy?

I actually know who I am going to be giving this to!  A friend has had a rough few weeks, and just sold her house this last weekend!  So, I bet she will love this!  (I hope she likes Ferrero Rocher!)

If you make this little box, I would LOVE to see!  Make sure to join my FB group, and share your creations with other creatives as well!

February SOTM Blog Hop – Doodled Borders

Welcome back to another post for me today!  It happens sometimes!  This post is all about the Stamp of the Month blog hop!  You will see a large handful of ladies share their work with this fun set!  Today, you could have arrived from Megan’s blog, or you could have started here.  Either way, it’s a big circle, so you should be able to hop along until you get back to your starting point!  If you happen to get lost along the way, you can find the whole list on Melissa’s blog.

Today’s card is super fun, and super easy to do!  In fact, when this post goes live, I should have started my FB live of putting it together!

I love how simple it is on the color combo!  Ballerina, Espresso, and White Daisy!

The February Stamp of the Month is perfect to add to the inside of the cards, and to add the extra little something on the front!  This set is not meant to be the front runner or show stopper, but to be the main supporting actor!  LOL!

So, if you haven’t already see the FB live, go and check it out, and I will show you how I put it together!

Remember to continue hopping along the blog hop, and see even more great stuff!  After you leave a comment below, make sure to go and see what fun stuff Wendy has to show you!

 

 

H2H Theme Challenge: All You Need Is Love

Welcome to another weekly challenge with H2H!  This week we have partnered up with Double Trouble Challenges!

The card that I have for you today, was super fun and easy to put together!

I had fun incorporating the February Stamp of the month in with this design!  It makes adding a bit of fun to the inside of the card, SUPER easy!

I used a bit of canary and espresso inks, and the card was done!

I added the sunflower from the Bloom with Grace Scrapbooking stamp set (which is still available!) and a sentiment from the current Card Subscription!

 

I used the same watercolor splash stamp to highlight two of the words on the background paper.  I thought it fit the them pretty perfectly!

I hope you like my card today!  You should hop over to play along with the H2H challenge, or at least get some inspiration!

Let me know what you think of this fun little card before you go!

Let’s Mix In some more papers!

This week’s focus is on a paper packet that doesn’t have all the extra bling stuff to go with it.  The Mix In Paper Packet is meant to mix and mingle with the paper packets in the small catalogs.  So there is a great set of colors and papers in here!  You can use this packet by itself or mix it in with the other paper packets in the book.  (or past ones as well!)

These are such spring like colors!  Perfect to get ready for the season to come!

I have some fun projects this week!  Make sure to check back!

 

Party Time meets Every Thank You

Yaaay!  It’s Friday!  That means that there is another project with the Stamp of the Month!  January’s Stamp of the month has been so fantastic for making thank you cards!  It’s hard to believe that there are only just a couple of days left to be able to get it!

This card was sooooo fun to make!  It just came together so quickly!  Even with the extra little ‘add ons’ that I kept doing!

So, this card uses the Party Time paper packet, with a bit of mink and lemonade papers tossed in, too!  I love how easy it is to use the Thin Cuts to give the card extra pizazz!

 

That adorable little envelope!  it’s so cute!  and it fit this heart stamp so perfectly!

 

I even gussied up the inside!  it’s fun to have the nice little surprise on the inside when you open it up!

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you like this fun little card!  All the items are linked below!

Thanks a latte!

I do love these mix in papers and when you pair them with the coffee cups, they just turn out so nicely!

These cards went together so very quickly!  The pieces are nice easy sizes!  I got the sketch from Paper Players, and worked just perfectly!

 

The brown paper is 5 1/4 x 4 and the white paper is 3 x 4.  The mint piece is 3 x 1/2.  The coffee cozy is cut out of the brown paper, under where the white piece goes.  I put them together on my weekly FB live class, and we were done in 15 minutes!  Make sure to go and check that out!

I can’t wait to see what card you do with the pattern!
