Pillow Box … Pillow Gifts …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have a cute little 3-D project to share with you. Last night when my Holiday Retreat attendee’s returned to their rooms for the night, they had a little surprise …

000_2747

Each guest received this little Pillow Box filled with holiday goodies! I created them with the new Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies from the Holiday catalog and the “Merry Moments” Designer Series paper from the Annual Catalog.

I teamed up this combination with the “Oh, What Fun” stamp set found on page 5 of the Holiday catalog.  This stamp set coordinates with the “Oh What Fun Tag Project Kit” … so you can see how versatile it is.

I chose the “Wishing You A Sweet Season” because my Pillow Box was filled with sweet treats. To create the focal point, I cut out the greeting with the Circle Framelits Dies and added a half of a Foil Doily to really draw the eye.

000_2750

The Real Red cardstock banner also helped to draw your eye to the greeting, but I wanted to tone it down just a bit so I added the beautiful white glitter ribbon from the “Gold and White Glitter Ribbon” found on page 29 of the Holiday Catalog.

The make great office gifts or something cute to tuck a sweet treat into.

Thanks for checking out my blog today.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

TRICK or TREAT!

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

As Halloween grows near and my week long Halloween showcase is almost at the end … I have a treat to share with you! I have been feelin’ the love this week and was surprised by a couple of treats myself!

First, a beautiful bouquet of flowers from my friend Nancy. Stampin’ has brought us together, our siblings brought us closer, and a true friendship has emerged …

000_2686

They are so beautiful (just like Nancy) and they make me smile each time I look at them.

Today as we arrived for our stamping class, our lovely host Tina, who opens her home to our group each month, also created this cute little treat for each of us!!

000_2682

I have to share a close up of this little pumpkin … he’s so stinkin’ cute!

000_2685

Thank you ladies … you are wonderful 🙂

As for my treat, I created a handy little box to tuck all my candies in! I love the 2-4-6-8- boxes but needed something bigger so … I came up with this!

000_2687

I cut 2 – 6 x 9 inch pieces out of the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper.  You score at 4″ and 8″ which leaves you a 1″ flap for sealing your box.

You will also need to score horizontally at the 2-1/4″ mark… that will create your bottom flaps. You do a little trimming on the bottom flaps so they close nicely (and all edges are adhered). Simple!!

If you would like a copy of the instructions, just send me your e-mail address to me at … (lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) and I will send you directions. No purchase necessary! Just giving a little back or all I received this week.
