Cute Boxes

These boxes were made with supplies from the sale-a-bration catalog free set Happy Hello Simply Sent Card Kit.  I found the instructions on Connie Stewart's Blog, that lady is amazing. She has pictures and a video with all the steps to making these great gifts.

These were so much fun to create.  In addition to the Simply Sent Card Kit I also used the Oh, Hello Stamp Set, Framelits ~ Ovals Collection, Chocolate Chip Ink and Clear Embossing Powder on the Oh, Hello and Baja Breeze and Basic Gray Stamp Pads on the Thanks So Much.  A little Baja Breeze and Daffodil Delight Seam Binding for the ribbons.  Quick and easy....

Thanks So Much

If you've never been there, check out Linda Heller's Stamping School.  She does some very amazing techniques and shares some really nice projects.  Here's a card I made using her video and .pdf .

Linda teaches the Framelit Arch Technique when doing this card.  She used the Window Frame Framelit and only used the top part and ran just that part through the Big Shot to cut off the top only and make this vintage card.  The stamp sets are Feeling Sentimental and Oh Hello.The Feeling Sentimental is a "Free Stamp Set" in our Sale-A-Bration choices this year for submitting a $50. order.  I used Soft Sued CS for the base and Linda used So Saffron on her demonstration, which I was out of, so I used the Summer Starfruit CS.  Basic Black CS for the background after the tricycle which was stamped in Soft Suede Ink and then mounted onto the So Saffron.  The Thanks So Much is from the Oh Hello Stamp set and stamped with Black StazOn Ink.  A couple of black brads from the Neutrals Brads Collection.  This would make an awesome masuline card, don't you think?
