Thinking of You Gift Box

Hi everyone,

Last year I started making what I call "Thinking of You" Gift Boxes for craft fairs.  They proved to be such a big hit, that the soap and candle store in town is carrying them also.  Recently I made a new supply for the store and for craft shows this weekend and next.  But I don't think I've ever shared them here, so I'll do that today.

Here's a look at the closed box.  (I know the tag is retired, but it's one of my favorites and is perfect for this project.)



I make them in a variety of colors, papers, and ribbons.  I was really like this one.  

Rather than give you the measurements for my box, I will suggest how you can make your own.  Assemble your contents in the relative arrangement you want to use.  Measure length and width.  Don't forget to measure the height and add that measurement to all sides.  Do the same for the lid, increasing the length and width by approximately 1/8" so the lid will fit on the box.

Now here's a look at my contents:


My boxes have 1 Cup a Soup, 1 tea bag, 1 chap stick, 1 hand sanitizer, 1 pack tissues, and 3 lozenges.  

Do you already make these?  What do you include in yours?  I keep adding to mine.  I will need a bigger box is I add anything else!

Happiness Surrounds - Thanks

Hi everyone,

With only a couple of days remaining to order the Snowflake Showcase products, I am sharing this thank you card I recently made.  I needed to make quite a few thank you cards for friends and co-workers.  This is the card I sent to them.



The Beauty Surrounds stamp set has quickly become a favorite, and I am sad to see it retiring after being with us for such a short time.

You can still order through the end of the day on November 30, 2018.

To recreate my card, the products used are shown below.  Simply click any of them to go directly to my online store.

Merry and Bright

Hi everyone,

I took a break from working on craft show items this morning to make several 3 x 3 cards for the store in town.  Here are a couple of those cards.




The Making Christmas Bright bundle creates some really fun, lighthearted cards!  I stamped the light bulbs on Whisper White in Real Red, Crushed Curry, and Garden Green and punched the out.  The bulb bases are punched out of Champagne Foil.



I attached the light bulbs to the panel with glue dots.


This size card is perfect as a gift enclosure, or can also be used as a gift tag!

To recreate this project, the products needed are below.  Simply click on any image to go directly to my online store.

Happy Thanksgiving

Hi everyone,

As I write this post, Thanksgiving is tomorrow in the United States.  I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, however you celebrate.

My card is made with the Pleasant Pheasant and Buffalo Check stamp sets.  Rather than color the pheasant image, I let the color from the plaid background I created carry the card.  A sprig punched from the Joyous Noel 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper completes the pop of color.
