Hello all! As promised I wanted to share a "SNEAK PEEK" of 1 of my Convention Swaps! I used the Petal Pizzazz stamp set. Loving this set. I also used Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Pale Plum and Whisper White. I'll share the whole card next week. I know, I know but I said Sneak Peek didn't I???? ; )
I'll be posting a super cook video tomorrow featuring Shelli Gardener. So be sure to stop back by tomorrow. As always thanks for stopping by.

Ok, now here is the card that I wanted to share that totally matches the baby box that I shared yesterday! Is it too cute or what?? I LOVE it! The idea came from I card I recieved from Sandy Hancock at our last quarterly meeting!
Recipe for Card:
Stamp Set:
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Whisper White, So Saffron & SAB Designer Series paper
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circle Die, White taffeta Ribbon, 1' and 3/4 " circle punches, trio flower punch, eyelet border punch, 1/4' punch (retired)
The only tricky part was taking the cardstock and lining it up to the edge of the Scallop Circle Die. Next one I'll put it just a little bit closer. But just play around with it. Super fun to make and How cute the buggie!
Here they are together! I would so wrap the box in cellophane and tye a ribbon on the top and add a tag! : )
Now for the box…I just cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/8 x 8 1/2. Scored at 2 1/4 on the 8 1/2 side. Make 2 of them one for each box. Use your Wide Oval Punch or any other punch you may have to make the handle. Do one at time as the Cardstock is to thick to go through both of them. I also used sticky strip to attach to the boxes.
Anyway, Ill have some more ideas I'm sure when I get back from Convention. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask. I'll have a sneak peek of my Convention Swaps tomorrow..I'm editing the photos tonight.
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin',

Ok, talk about cute and fun and easy! I LOVE how this box came out.
I used the SAB Designer paper to play around with this idea. Which I have to say my inspiration came from Julia Bettencourt! She was playing around with the Scallop Bag Die.
Anyway, so I was playing around with this and came up with this box. See below for the side view and the back view.
Tomorrow I'll share how I did this so come back as I'll also have another share with it. Just to cute!
I've also been working on Swaps…sneek peak soon…
Is this too cute or what? Inside I put baby powder and a crocheted hat, then I've got little mittens and 4 baby washclothes. This is perfect for those tiny little baby accessories.
