Thank You Gift-Boxed Card Set

 Sometimes when I make a box card set like this I like to make all the cards to match the box and use the same stamp set and colors. But in this case I had too many ideas to limit myself to one stamp set and color combination.  The person I gave this to today was very appreciative of my creativity and made the comment I hear all the time when I give cards as gift..." They're too pretty to give away". But they are meant to given, but only to those "special" people in your life that will appreciate a "non store bought" card and not just toss in the trash as soon as they read the card!
The box holds up to 6 cards with matching envelopes.
Here are 4 of the 6 cards I made and the box...

I ran the flowers through an embossing folder to add some "life" to the flowers.

For added dimension I punched out some little flowers and popped them up with
Stampin Dimensionals and added Basic Pearls.

2015 Christmas Cards

Hi Crafters, I wanted to share this year's Christmas cards I made. Each year I like to come up for 4 designs to make and sell. I made 350 of these cards which took me about a month. There was some major mass producing going on. I even recruited my sister to help me while I was visiting her over Thanksgiving. She was a big help with the "Happy Holidays" card.

So when I made just one of these cards, I thought these were simple and would be quick to mass produce, especially the " Happy Holidays" one. Wrong!!...HAHA The only one that was quick, was the snowman card. This card was made using this Stampin Up stamp set. I got the idea from Stampin Up, but added my twist. The others had too many steps. So my advice crafters, is when you want to mass produce cards, think twice what you may think that would be quick to make. Once I got my

Hi Everyone,  I went to an indoor rummage sale yesterday and was on a hunt for glass pieces to glue together to use for my crafting embellishments. I would see vids on YT on other crafters and they would be talking about their candy stations and I didn't know what they were talking about. So I looked up some vids and saw that a crafter's "Candy Station" was pretty containers holding embellishments  placed on together in an area. Which I think is a great idea if you have the space. I have a lot of embellishments packed away, I forget what I have. So I am in the process of creating my own calorie free Candy Station. Oh I might sneak a bowl of chocolate in there, after all what's crafting without a little chocolate!  I thought I can make mine own. So I dug through old boxes of things I got from grandmother and found old glassware. The 2nd photo is what I bought for a 1.00 at the rummage sale.
