Gift in a Box

This week in my stamping classes we made these really cute gift boxes out of the wooden stamp cases.  Inside the box is a set of 4 note cards with envelopes and 3 pieces of chocolate!  They make a nice gift to give.  And the cool part- it's all contained in a little box.  I found the idea online by Linda Gutierrez. 

Here is a close up of some of the coordinating note cards.  I made them with two of the new In Colors: Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.  I stamped a small tag stamp on the envelope.  Attach them to a gift or just give a little note to someone.  And the chocolates, they're for you!

Here's are some more note cards made with a different set of stamps.  You can make write anything inside and use them for any occasion.

This project can be made with different colors and for different seasons.  I think it would look really cute for Christmas with some tags in it.  What do you think?

A Safe Place To Keep Your Pearls

For my Ten Year Stamping Celebration, we made a cute keeper out of the plastic clear stamping cases (did you know that you can buy them separately?)  to store your pearl and rhinestone sheets.  Having one of these makes your embellishments easy to find and easy to transport. 

I got a little carried away with the In Color embellishments on mine, but just loved the colors.  I used the Typeset Alphabet dies to cut out my initials. Each girl made their personalized case from different In Color sheets and cut out their own initials or name so that we can tell all of the supplies apart!

Then I just added butterflies and flowers to embellish.  I used the small circle that comes out of the hole punch for the centers of the flowers and for the butterflies.  If you use a raised item such as pearls, it will eventually make a hole in your plastic covering so only use flat items to embellish.

What other items can you think of to store in your keeper?
