Hello Friends,

Here's a quick and easy gift bag idea made with the Beauty of the Earth Suite and the fun Ombre Gift Bags.  It looks spectacular, but really it only takes about 1o minutes to create this gorgeous gift bag!

I simply cut the tree with the Beautiful Tree Dies and the lovely Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper.  I know someone will ask about the Double Bow, so I'll share a video tutorial that I made years ago.

Here's some other stunning projects made with the Beauty of the Earth Suite.

Hello Friends,

It stinks to be sick, but it's fun to receive a handmade card in your mailbox.  Today farewell, so long retiring stamp set is Healing Hugs.  Let's start with this fabulous Pop Up Tissue Box  Get Well card .   See tips for stamping gorgeous two-toned roses and making a quick Pop Up Tissue box in the quick 5-minute video below.

Watch it now!

If you like to send interactive cards, you'll want to try this one.

Here's a super simple card to make with a whole lot of impact.  I'm always on the look out for a great Get Well Stamp set and I love the Healing Hugs photo realistic stamp set.  

To make this card, I simply stamped my flowers using Daffodil Delight Ink and I stamped my leaves using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I stamped the sentiment using Old Olive ink to give it a little more pop.  The Shimmery White Card Stock offers and lot of shimmer, but added even more by painting over my flowers and leaves with my Wink of Stella brush.  The label was cut with the Stitched Labels Framelit Dies.

 Make a gorgeous Z Fold  Get Well Card with the Healing Hugs stamp set.  It is unexpected and simple to make.

How to Make a Z Fold Card

Cut a card base 4-1/4" by 11".

Score at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2".

Hello Friends,

Today is my final salute to the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and the Magnolia Memory Dies.  Both the Magnolia stamp set and dies are retiring and are available only until May 3, 2021, or WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. 

Learn how to make custom boxes with 3-D Flowers and this gorgeous Hello Card.  Stick around to the end of the post.  There's another surprise card inside with the gift.

These beautiful 3-D flowers are super simple to make using the Magnolia Memory Dies.  For a video tutorial on how to make flowers with these die click here.  These smaller flowers are towards the end of the video.  To make the sweet stitched edge on the box top I used the Stitched With Whimsy dies.  The gold foil embellishments are bits and pieces from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper (also retiring).

Make boxes in all sizes by following the techniques in this How to Make Custom Size Gift Box Video Tutorial.

Measurements for this Seed Packet Size Box

Box Top

6-1/4" x 5"  Score 3/4" from all 4 sizes.

Box Bottom (Don't forget to take away a smidge for these measurements for a nice fit.)

To make this Good Morning Magnolia Card, I once again used the Stitched With Whimsy dies to make the charming border.  I Water Colored my flowers with Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Old Olive Inks.

Let's take a peek inside.  Again the Stitched with Whimsy dies add their touch of whimsy. The smaller card inside my box was made with the Under My Umbrella stamp set and the Umbrella Builder Punch.

Have a fabulous day,
