Birthday Card

This was a very simple birthday card I made for my Father-In-Law's 81st birthday. (Trying to keep it a little manly...I had to fight back the urge to put little blings where the "sprinkles" are...)

Cardstock used was:
Close to Cocoa (Retired Stampin UP color...sorry guys)
Lemon Tart (I believe..not 100%) from Paper Trey Ink

Stamp used:
Crazy for Cupcakes - Stampin UP!

Gift Box & Card

This is what I was working on yesterday. I played around with the box size Thursday night until I got it. I made this for a friends mother. In the "gift box" there is a journal, notepad, metal tag, & card (I put the card in right before finishing it all up). Hope you enjoy & have a great Saturday =)

This is the journal, notepad & the metal tag.


This is the gift box with the 3 things in it, next up is the card!


These images were stamped using a retired stamp set with Stampin' Up! To add some dimension to it I used some dimensional's to pop up the heart & believe. It looked to plain to me so I added some brads & prima flowers!


Here is the sentiment stamped & raised with dimensionals on the inside.


And here is the finished project! I used some of the scrap cardstock from the bottom part of the gift box to put on the lid then wrapped the box with ribbon & made a bow in the front. I found that cute little sucker at Michael's (also where I found the journal, notepad & metal tag).


Hope you have enjoyed this project, I really enjoyed making it =)
