Theater Candy treat box with Gallery Blooms, Paper Tags

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there today!  I hope you are enjoying a day of relaxation and spoiling.  I made these boxes with the idea they could be given on Mother's Day to your mothers, friends, family, etc.  They would also make a great teacher's gift or small birthday gift for a friend who loves Junior Mints like me!  They are so easy to make, you can knock them out pretty quickly if you still need something special to give to your mom.  To see how I put this box together, you can watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

You’re the Best carved wood & watercoloring technique card

I found another technique I hadn’t heard about before and decided to give it a try.  I watched Gina K Designs show the carved wood technique and thought I really needed to give it a try with some Stampin’ Up!®️ products.  I hadn't used the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder and since it's on the last chance list at a discount, it's the perfect time to grab it if you overlooked it previously.  When I saw this, I thought it would be perfect for wood carving.  Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see all the techniques I shared on this project.  You can see it on my YouTube channel.

I hope you will give the wood carving technique a try.  It does take a bit of practice to get the ink swiping light enough if you tend to be heavy handed like I am.  But as you can see, it's well worth the little bit of practice.  

Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!
