Pillow Box Treats

As I've been looking forward to getting some new supplies during Sale A Bration, I realize how much DSP I have.  I used some of my "old" paper and ribbon to make lots of these cute pillow boxes and filled them with chocolates to give to a special group of teachers I work with.  All supplies are current or retired Stampin Up, except for the pink-stitched brown ribbon.

Vintage Birthday Pink

I love the ideas I get from Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty http://www.stampinpretty.com, and have been inspired by her cards and envelopes.  Here are a couple I have made using the Vintage Floral DSP.

Folded Circles

My friend Amanda showed this technique of punching 6 1 and 3/8" circles, folding the edges over, and gluing them into a circle.  I made three cards with three different designer papers.  Fun and easy!  Thanks, Amanda!

Parfait Fabulous Florets

Loved the great colors and design of the card from Regina at

Flower Fest

This is my first chance to play around with the bright embossing powders and Flower Fest set.  Love all the variety in that set and expect to make lots of cards with it!

Blueberry Birthday Bird

Inspired by a lovely card I saw on SCS.

Paisley Prints Cameo

I wanted to use some of my new Paisley Prints dsp, but had trouble finding the matching ink.  I finally decided that Cameo Coral worked best.  I love the way this paper has so much variation in color throughout the page.  I added some tiny pearls on the Elegant Lines embossing to balance the card.
