Happy Birthday Box/Bag

I used my Bigz Top Note Die to cut out these labels. I don't have a Big Shot yet, but it fits perfectly through my Cuttlebug. I haven't tried the extra long dies, though. I also used an old original Sizzix die for the butterfly.
The stamp is from the Time to party set. I didn't circle my friend's birthday because (A) I didn't want to point out how old,er, young she is (just in case she's sensitive) and (B) she can regift the bag if she wants to!
Sorry again about the color correction...I've got to get better at that. I also used the Tea Party designer paper, cardstock, a 2" scallop circle punch, and certainly celery ink and ribbon.

See you next time!

For You!

This tiny favor box is one that I cut out on my Silhouette. It is a tuck flap closure box. I used thick brown paper (not cardstock). When you cut out these boxes on the Silhouette, it is a good idea to use solid core cardstock as the cut (score) lines will not show as much. I added a curly label with the tiny "with love" stamp from the Yummy SAB set. The flowers are part of a stamp from the Eight Great Greetings.

Happy Easter Box

This is a little box/bag for Easter. When you pull off the ribbon, the flap opens to reveal whatever goodies you decide to put in! I used the bunny stamp from Eight Great Greetings. I cut out the bunny and the sentiment separate. I used the Tea Party designer paper, certainly celery grosgrain ribbon and cardstock. I colored the bunny with the Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen. Sorry about the color on the middle image. I guess I didn't do the color correction very well! Oops!
The designer paper is reversible so the top flap is just the other side of the paper. I love how all of the SU paper, ribbon, and cardstock coordinates!

Little Card

When I got the hostess set, "Comfort Food", I couldn't wait to use it! This little stamp is so cute! I used the Stampin' Pastels and a blender pen to color in the image. I used 1 1/2" and 2" scallop circle punches. I inked the edges of everything and used the Always in Bloom wheel on the inside and the outside of the card.

Halloween Favor

A friend described a little Halloween box to me. After her description, I came up with this.

I got the template from Stampin' Up! After I cut out the box template, inked the edges, and added some punches.

The spider is a Martha Stewart punch and the Boo is a punch I ordered a couple of years ago from Oriental trading company. Then, it had to be punched again, and I used my 1 1/2" scallop circle punch.

Friend Card

This card uses the all holidays stamp set. I also used a Cuttlebug texture plate on the blue cardstock. To make the image "pop" I rubbed it with VersaMark ink. I used pop dots on the sentiment and then added some other embellishment: flower, ribbon, and clear button.
