The 18K Gold Leafing Pen made by Krylon is on the inside box top edge and in the "fold" lines of the box. Attach the box to the base using Fabric-tac adhesive.

I didn't send an empty box - inside holds a "Lei-like" barrette.

To attach the Lei, upholstery thread is wrapped around the barrette.  Secure ends with some Glossy Accents.

A Girly Get Well Shaped card

A girly get well soon card - really easy and quick to make using my Silhouette to make all the SVG file cuts. This card cut file is from SVG Attic.com, their collection is called Feel Better Soon found here.  Included in this cut file are the RX Bottle Gift Boxes (really cool  pill boxes that can be filled with treats). I decided to make the pill boxes with some fun decorative paper instead of the typical copper color.  They look more girly and fun.  I love how quickly the card and pill boxes were to assemble after all the cutting is done. The decorative Paper used is from K and Company Berry Sweet. Left over scraps of paper (this one was from the Doodlebug Sugar Shoppe Icing on the Cake) was used for the message mat.

Here's a closer look at the cut: Get Well Soon" words which are popped with foam squares.The two band-aids are cut from Recollections Kraft paper, then lightly ink with brown ink around the edges. The red heart is also lightly inked with brown ink, too, then popped with foam squares.  The band-aid center and heart are using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder.

Here's one of the pill boxes.  Simple to make and using the paper from the card, it was easy to co-ordinate this projects.  The labels are computer generated and punched using the Stampin-Up Small oval Punch.

 Inside each pill box are sweet treat:

Stamped message using brown ink is a retired Stampin-Up stamp called Happy Healing.

Thank you for coming by to visit today........aren't these so cute and girly?

Graduation Wobble Step Card

OK - this is the very last graduation card I had to make for the year. This 4 step card card style is from Lori Whitlock and can be found in the Silhouette on Line Store. Inspiration for this card is from lorriesstory.com where she posts her original design on April 18, 2014. This one is actually in a dark purple (not Nacy) color with gold: a San Francisco State college graduation. The SVG cut file is a SVGCutting file called Graduation Boy found here. He is popped with foam squares and cut with my Silhouette using all Bazill paper.  Again, the decorative paper is from Doodlebug Design Cap and Gown. The word: "Dreams" is has a dark purple and gold mat. Then it is popped with foam squares. Note the "Dreams" word is cut from the decorative Doodlebug Design Cap and Gown paper.

Here's a closer look: a white gel pen is used around the graduation hat and gown:

Overhead view:

This is the card fully opened. The message is generated using my computer, then cut using the "Print and Cut" Silhouette feature. Double mats were also made using the "offset" Silhouette feature........so easy to customize any shape.

I love the ease of cutting the year for the steps: Ariel font was used.

The jumping graduation boy is part of the SVGcutting.com and is part of their collection called The Graduation Boy found here. A white gel pen is used around the graduation hat and gown for accent.

Oh yes, one more surprise: add a Wobble so he really does jump around...............

Thank you for stopping by today.
