A Pretty Gift Set For A Special Occasion

Good morning friends~  I made this gift set back in February, to celebrate a dear friends special day, and I never got around to posting it.  As it turns out my dear friend Marcia, over at Color Hues is starting a new challenge using these colors, so I thought this would be the perfect time to post this project.

The deliciously sized cupcake die is from Pretty Pink Posh.  I added some sweet polka dotted lemons from Spellbinders because every project should have some polka dots.

 

The treat box is made using a die from Sizzix.

 

I found this striped gift bag in my stash which coordinated perfectly with the papers and cardstock colors I used.  A simply doily bag topper and bow was all it needed.  

And finally, a framed piece of artwork using stencils and dies from Altenew.

 

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Color Hues ~ Blue & Yellow

 Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Pretty Packaging

The final countdown to Christmas day has begun!  I have so many Christmas projects that I haven't shared on my blog.  I think the posts could take me well into 2025.  

 

Today's share are these cute little gift boxes that I covered.  They reminded me of my beloved pencil box that I would get each year at the beginning of the school season.  

 

I thought these would be great for holding small gifts, but for photo purposes I filled them with chocolate.  That would make a fine gift too, I suppose!

 

 

This box is decked out with the Tim Holtz snowflake, which was a new favorite die that I got to work with this year.  It comes with these delightful ice skates.  I placed them over a vellum scalloped circle to soften the underneath.

I don't know why I have such fond memories of looking forward to school shopping and finding the perfect pencil box that would travel with me throughout the school year, as I walked to and from grade school every day.  (I lived directly across the street from the primary school, so it was very convenient.)

 

 A second box was covered using more papers from Stampin' Up.  This one with woodland animals.

This box has another vellum scalloped circle, Tim Holtz Snowflake and cute little fox from CottageCutz.

 

My pencil boxes were like little treasure chests that I would keep special things in throughout the school year along with crisply sharpened pencils, a small 6" ruler, erasers and crayons.  

 

If you've stuck with me through his post, thanks for indulging me while I reminisced of days gone by.

 

I'll be entering one of these projects into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Christmas Kickstart Challenge ~ Anything Christmas

Cut It Up ~ Use More Than One Die

The Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Christmas

A Cut Above ~ Anything Goes

Love Those Pretty Papers ~ Christmas

Little Bunny Treat Boxes

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail......

and right into my craft room!

I had been wanting to make some treat boxes and these little Assorted Bunnies from Frantic Stamper were jumping right out of my craft cabinet, waiting to be used.

I was able to use up lots of retired patterned paper from Elizabeth Craft Designs making these four little boxes.  

The Sizzix Gable Box made quick work for the boxes and the fun medallions adorning the fronts.

I made a belly band for each box using another retired but timeless die, a stitched scalloped edger.  Sorry, I don't know what company it's from as I've had them for ages on a magnetic board, so no packaging.  I also used up more of the sweet patterned paper to complete the band.

Each little bunny is striking a different pose.

Once the boxes are filled, I will tie them closed with this vintage lace seam binding I've hoarded for way too long.  The color matched perfectly!

I also cut a trio of tags in coordinating colors to personalize each box.

While it's fun to give treats at Easter time, I know the true miracle of Easter lies beyond the cross, beyond the grave, to the Risen Savior.  My Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ!

I'll be adding these boxes to the following challenges:

The Sisterhood of Crafters ~ Bunnies and/or Chicks

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Valentine Treat Boxes

Hello friends~ I've been counting down the days until Valentine's Day.  I don't think I've ever shared as many Valentine crafts on my blog as I've shared with you this year.   My craft room needs a day of cleaning and reorganizing. 

I made some cute favor boxes for my kids and their spouses, my hubby and his mom, using Heart Hugs Honey Cute Dies from Honey Bee Stamps.

The box die is an older die from Quickutz. 

Gladly using up some older design paper from my stash. 

 The girls get the foxes....

...and the guys get the bears.

Wishing you the very best day!

Pre-Historic Pal

Good morning friends~  Just thought I'd pop in and share a cutie little card and two heart shaped boxes that I made for my sweet little grands.  

First up is this pre-historic dinosaur from Marianne Designs. 

 I used a Tim Holtz embossing plate for the background.  It made me think of dinosaur scales.  I used Altenew's Alphabet dies for the letters.

This card paired perfectly with the little heart shaped box I made using Concord & 9th Heart Box Die.  The image is one that I found online and printed.  I didn't plan this, but once I put the two creations together, I realized how perfectly they went together.  

I added some green Stickles to the dinosaur.  Super cute!  Little Bam-Bam and his pet dinosaur Dino.  ;0)

The second box uses another free printable I found online.  My sweet P loves kitty cats so I thought she was just purr-fect!  

She's glitzed up with a generous dose of Silk Microfine Glitter from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  Just look at that face!  💗💗💗

Both boxes are super simple but so sweet.  Now the question is what to put in them??  What would you put in for two little ones just over a year old?

I can't share the card I made for my Sweet P because it's coming up in a future post.  You'll have to stop back by soon!
