I used the outside frame of Mix & Mat: Berry Boughs on green glitter card-stock and I cut the Say It Simply: Holly Jolly out of red foil paper.  The gift box has red foil dots and it all coordinates pretty well, eh? 😊

The template for this gift card box must be one of the first free downloads from Papertrey Ink~I have used it many times. 
The stamp set "Spriral Bouquet" is pretty vintage too ~ it's now considered Retired, and an antique I believe. 😉

Laurie's Fabulous Favorites #14

October 23 ~ 30, 2019

I am joining  Laurie Schmidlin this week as she shares her inlaid die cut technique.

The challenge is to create a project utilizing this creative technique and join along at the Ink To Paper Blog HERE.

Click on photo for more details

I cut PTI's Bold Borders-Yuletide die plate out of green and white cardstocks.  I inlaid the white border and the green sentiment.  The iridescent sequins and Wink Of Stella on the "Be Merry" add a bit of festive shimmer and shine, eh?
 Note to self:  add the WOS to sentiment before adhering it onto the card panel with spray glue :-)

Once I decided on a design and die cuts to use (like a 2 hour process-LOL), this card came together pretty quickly.
I will definitely make a few of these mailable Christmas cards with different color combos this year.

Laurie's Fabulous Favorites #13

  September 25 ~ October 2

I am joining  Laurie Schmidlin this week as she shares her favorite way to use Kraft cardstock.
This week's challenge is to create a project utilizing Kraft cardstock in your favorite way to join along  at
Ink To Paper.

Click on photo for more details

I used a favorite flower embossing folder from Sizzix for my Beautiful Butterflies to flutter over on Kraft cardstock. 
The peachy colored HB die picks up the small peach dots on the patterned butterflies. 
Thought the crystal sequins added just a touch of bling 😀

This stamp is an old Impression Obsession wood block called "Fall Scene" that I bring out every year to make Thanksgiving cards.  It reminds me of the houses in New England where I grew up.  

The sentiment is a die from Papertrey Ink: Counting My Blessings.  Cardstock panel is Fine Linen from PTI.
