Box Card + Gift Card Holder = AWESOME!

Mother's Day is fast approaching and I really wanted to give my mother one of those great Box Cards everyone is making.   I also wanted to give her a gift card to Chapters.   I decided to create a box card that would also hold her gift card so I have the best of both worlds. Let me know what you think!

I changed the card to be wider but shorter and I was able to make it long enough to add a pocket that would easily hold a gift card.   It still fits in an envelope too!  There are so many wonderful ideas for Box cards out there and now you can add a gift card!


Mother's Day is this Sunday!  I am very excited to give this card to my Mom.

Bloomin' Bouquet Project Kit

A Great New Product Offer

Mother's Day. Teacher appreciation. Just because. Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouquet. There's no watering, no weeding-just enjoying. This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems, and buttons to create the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion. All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.
As if that weren't enough, the kit contains a "baker's dozen"! This means you can create and give (or keep) a dozen flowers, and have a bonus flower left over to pass along to someone new! Give it to someone you wouldn't normally think of: a teller at the bank, a grocery store clerk, or the librarian at your local library. Anyone you encounter on your way that you'd like to give a little "thank you" to-and introduce them to Stampin' Up!

Great Kit for a Girls Birthday Party Craft or a nice Crafty Ladies night out!

Butterflies Galore

Over my many evenings of blog surfing I have seen a number of these tri-fold cards and I have been meaning to try one. Finally I got inspired because Mother's day is a few weeks away and I needed a card for my Grandmother. Do you have the Papillon Potpourri stamp set? If not I really recommend it, especially now that you can get two butterflies punches that match the stamps. It really makes a card like this super easy and fast.

I used Regals as my colour palate because I rarely use these colours and I wanted to challenge myself and use my as yet unused Regals Ink pads.

The Sentiment is from the Family Reunion Set and I punched it with a large Oval punched and then layered it with an Eggplant Accent from the Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies. A couple of Rhinestones to finish it off and there we are.

We visited the Calgary Zoo today and the Butterflies are just starting to come out of their cocoons. Next time I am there I will work on getting a good shot to share.

Have a wonderful, fun-filled and Happy Easter!
