Sending Hugs butterfly flight in pink hot foil

My project today features one of the new hot foil bundles by Stampin' Up!  I LOVE the new hot foil system.  It is incredibly easy to use and the effects are stunning.  For my card today, I've opted to combine some catalog products along with the hot foil bundle.  The actual card doesn't have any stamping, but if you know me at all there is never a naked envelope....and so I brought in some coordinating stamps from the catalog.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this direct link.  I hope if you haven't given the hot foil system a consideration to add to your crafty stash, you will soon.  Put in on your Christmas or birthday list if it isn't in your budget at the moment....

Watercolor Melon two-piece gift box for gum

Today's project is a 3D project.  When I first saw the Watercolor Melon stamp set, I knew I needed to make some sort of watermelon flavored treat box.  So I went down to the local convenience store to see what I could find that was watermelon flavored and would fit the stamp sizes I had.  This is what I found that was relatively inexpensive.  Of course, I could have used some smaller candies, but that wasn't the size I was looking for.  I hope you like the gift box.  My granddaughter can't wait to get one of them.  To see how I put my box together, be sure to watch the video replay over on YouTube.
