Shadowbox Punch Board

What a great little punchboard.  This makes assembling a shadowbox so easy and fun.  Just score 4 line on all 4 sides of the cardstock then punch your corners following the instructions I give in the video, add a little glue and you are good to go.

Follow my chart and you can make so many different sizes of boxes...just do the simple math and you will find just how easy it is for you to make any size shadowbox you desire.  Your only limitations is the size of your paper.

Black, Blue & Gold Butterfly Birthday Card

 I just adore the bold colors of Black, Blue with accents of Gold Foil.  It is a beautiful color combo that screams rich & softicated elegance.  What a wonderful way to celebrate someone special's birthday.  I'll let the card speak for itself.

Mixed Florals Thank you Card

 January...also known as "the dead of winter."  Due to me being so cold natured, I do not enjoy the winter months.  And even though I live in the southern part of North Carolina, it still gets very cold here during this time of the year.  

With that being said, I am so ready for the cold to be gone and welcome in Spring and warmer temperatures.  In today's card, a thank you card, I brought in some spring colors with a hint of Easter colors.  I always love lavender & yellow so choosing Daffodil Delight with Highland Heather give that spring & Easter vibe.

The first card is the one we made on the video and the second image is the inside.  The bottom card is the phototype that started me on my journey with this design.

Chicken Soup for Body & Soul

 It's cold and miserable outside!  Perhaps you have snow on the ground, or icesicles hanging on your house.  Maybe you live in the south like me and are experiencing the Polor Vortex and let's face it, you need something hot to eat.  Well, I have you covered with this delicious pot of homemade chicken soup.  

This soup would be great as a gift to a family member who maybe down with a cold or flu.  Or just for your family on a cold winter night.

Don't this look delicious?

It is hearty and filled with good things to make you feel better like ginger, tumeric, garlic and onions.  It also has orzo instead of rice.

Book Treat Box Featuring Sentimental Christmas DSP & Christmas Label Stamps & Dies

 Need a quick gift idea, then you are at the right place.  Perhaps you've been invited to a party or family get together and at the last minute you forgot to pick up a little something for the host/hostess.  Whip up a quick little box stuffed with candy, cookies, or a small gift like earrings, cufflinks, etc.  Tea bags would be another nice gift to give in these boxes.

Peace & Joy Fun Fold Christmas Card

 Peace & Joy Fun-Fold Christmas Card

Peace & Joy is something we think about at Christmas but in reality we all want peace and joy all year long.  The true peace & joy came to us over 2000 years ago in the form of a baby boy named Jesus and still today HE is our only hope for true peace and joy.  

This card is a fun card with an unusal fold that incorporated different techniques that creates a cute and fun card.  It is my hope that this card will bring you a little joy as you put together the elements of Christmas.  Pull out your stamps & dies and just start creating and see what you come up with.  It is so much fun to just let go and CREATE.

I have prepared a free pdf tutorial just for you.  There you will have pictures, all the measurements and product order numbers.
