Silly Safari Thank You

Silly Safari Thank You

A customer asked me to create some cards for her using Stampin' Up!s Silly Safari Photopolymer Stamp Set. Once I got started, I couldn't quit. These jungle animals are just so stinkin' cute. In the next post or two, I'll share some of my creations. Today's card uses a go-to layout with the giraffe to create an upbeat thank-you card. Click here to see another card using this layout with the Cheers & Sips stamp set. I love to adapt this layout using a variety of stamps, inks, sentiments, and patterned papers.

Easy-Peasy Gift Box

Easy-Peasy Gift Box

Sometimes you just need a quick little box to package a gift. Today, I show you a quick, easy-peasy gift box that uses one-third of a piece of 12 x 12 patterned paper. That means you can make three boxes from one sheet. The boxes are perfect for small treats such as lip balms, mini candy bars, three Lindt chocolates, and more. Note: Stampin' Up! shared the directions for this box during Creativity Now, an online demonstrator event held in June. I loved it so much I just had to share with all of you. Measurements and Details Paper measuring 11 x 4. For today's featured card, I used the sunflower pattern from the Blooms Impressions Designer...
