Thank You box

I found the video instructions for this box on Beth Beard's Blog; My Little Craft Blog.  She has all the materials and instructions listed.  I love the vintage look and this box is made with the Milk Carton Die (I haven't used that in a while...). 

It uses Modern Medley DSP (one of my current favorites), Black CS, Baked Brown Sugar CS & Ink.  The little Thank You is from Hello, Lovely Stamp Set.  Also used Early Espresso to sponge the edges and make them darker.  There is a large Basic Pearl in the center.

The box is actually pretty good sized, I'm going to use it as a gift box.  Thanks Beth for the great idea!

Candy Basket Lollie

I made a candy basket for my desk at work and decorated it with a lollie made from the Bigz Designer Rosette Die using Blushing Bride CS.  After I cut the die 2x, I trimmed to 3" wide to make the lollie.  I added some of the Blushing Bride Satin Pleated Ribbon to the bottom of the basket.  The center of the lollie I added a circle layered with a flower punched with the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch using Regal Rose CS and a large pearl for the center.

I filled it with chocolate so I have a lot of friends this week! LOL!!!

Happy Stampin'
