Something to be thankful for treat box card

Here are the Valentines I created for my co-workers.  I was inspired by Tina Weller's video where I picked up the directions for the basic card treat box design.  I made two different designs because I didn't think the guys would appreciate the pink colors of blushing bride and melon mambo.  Those colors are real red and very vanilla. For the pink card I used a Sale-a-bration stamp set called You Brighten My Day.  You can earn this set for FREE for every $50 you purchase, you can choose a free Sale-a-bration item between now and March 31, 2015.  Super awesome deal.  Check it out in my online store.  The inside of the card features a retired stamp set called Love You to the Moon and Vintage Vogue.  I masked off the Love on the main stamped image and then used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the friends from the Vintage Vogue set.  Cool huh?  An idea from something my husband said.

This card also features a retired stamp set called Like You a Latte.   The Be My Valentine and heart stamp is from the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  I love mixing the new with the old, don't you?  Washi tape is run along the bottom to create the border.

These card treat boxes feature a pull out drawer.  See the video on YouTube by Tina, the Serene Stamper.

Perfect blend retirement card

I made these retirement cards using some sneak peak items, current items and retired product.  I have three co-workers retirning at the end of the month.  It will be very hard to say goodbye.  I've worked with these gentelemen for the past 23 years.  I'm happy for them, but sad for those of us who will feel the void when they've moved on.  For these two cards, I used the perfect blend stamp set and teeny tiny wishes for the sentiment.  I also used the retired stamp set Like It a Latte (for the coffee beans).  Colors used are sahara sand, early espresso, lost lagoon and hello honey.  The DSP is from the Moonlight DSP paper stack (48 sheets 4 1/2" x 6 1/2".  I love these DSP paper stacks.  They come in handy for lots of things.  The DSP is cut with the Deco Label Framelit dies.  I colored the coffee cup using the new Stampin' Blendabilities markers.  I LOVE these new markers.  The colors blend together so easily.  I used the On Film Framelits to cut my photo frame, notice the embossing?  The framelit die does that at the same time as the cut.  I added a little burlap ribbon which I frayed apart to make the ribbon accent.  I hope you can find some time to stamp today.
