Bella Box with Cards

Argh!  I am totally not keeping up on my blog like I want to.  I promise I am going to try harder!  So today in the interest of putting something up, I am posting about a gift I made a couple of months ago.

This was for my friend Sharon.  I took one of the awesome small boxes my hubby brought me home from work and covered it in paper from the Bella paper pack.  I then made a set of 20 cards to go in the box with the workshop instructions from the Wishes book.  I only used 20 card bases and 3 sheets of B&T duos to make all 20 cards.  I love the Wishes book for just this reason.  It constantly inspires me and I can do many cards efficiently.

I used two different stampsets for this project.  The first was Dainty Thoughts.  It has a ton of different sentiments and is great for making a greeting card set and keeping everything consistent.  The second set I used was Friendship Blessings.  This has definitely become my go-to stampset.  I use it on everything.

Supplies Used (All CTMH unless otherwise noted):

• Book:  Wishes - I can't say how awesome this book is.  If you are into cardmaking, get it!
• Stampsets:  Dainty Thoughts, Friendship Blessings
• PaperPack:  Bella

So Pretty!

For my workshop I decided to create little thank you gifts for all my attendees.  These are lavender scented body sprays that I attached a little Thank You tag too.  I had a ton of fun making the tags. 

 I used the crumpled flower technique to make the flowers.  All you need is a scalloped punch, a brad, and some water to spritz on!  I used my CriCut to cut out the scalloped circles.

I can't get this picture to rotate but I wanted to let you see up close how cute these are!
