This is one of my favorite cards!! The background is made by lightly pressing a piece of masking tape or painters tape on the ink pad then lightly pressing it onto the card stock. The colors used are summer starfruit, crisp cantaloupe and coastal cabana. The stamp set is Summer Silhouettes. Try using different colors to give it a different look.

What a cute little gift this would make, a tea light gift box. I made this with the sweet sorbet designer series paper from Stampin Up! The colors I used are pool party (box), Crisp cantaloupe (banner), and summer starfruit (butterfly).  You can decorate the tea lights by wrapping them with coordinating washi tape.

These cute little treat boxes were made using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch from Stampin Up! You can use any color paper and any kind of ribbon depending on the occasion. They can hold about 4 or 5 Hershey Nuggets or several Hershey Kisses. I got the idea for these from Julie Davidson. If you would like to know how to make these you can leave me a comment and I can email you the instructions.  Eventually I will have the instructions for the things I post listed on my page. ;)

This is a file folder gift card holder and envelope using the envelope punch board by Stampin Up! The envelope punch board is a great tool to have, you can make so many different size envelopes and you can also make many different size boxes!! 

Hi - This is my first blog and I am so excited to share my love of crafts with other who share the same passion for creativity. I have been involved in crafting for only a couple years now but I love to learn new things and to share what I've learned and my own ideas with others, to encourage them to be creative in their own way. I hope you enjoy my posts and would love to hear what you think.
