Sending Love large banner treat box

 Happy Sunday everyone!  I hope everyone is enjoying some much-needed relaxation today.  I have another treat/gift box you can use for Valentines, wedding or any time you want to send a little love to someone.  I've combined two of the latest products by Stampin' Up! in this project.  You will find a video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.  I hope you will give it a try and make something special for your friends or family.  They're pretty quick and easy to make.  Of course, you could make this box for any occasion at all just by changing colors and decorations.   If you don't have the banner dies, no worries, you can use two pieces of cardstock 3 3/4" x 5" and it will work just as easily.  To make the banner ends, cut down in the center of one end about 1/2", then cut down from each side to the center cut to make your own banner if you would like.

Sunflower Love & Courage Making a Difference card tutorial

For my project today, I wanted to make a card using the Love & Courage stamp set and pair it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.  I used an ink blending technique to ink my focal background.  The sentiment uses a colored ink embossing powder technique.  I hope you are inspired to make some cards of encouragement for those in your life that are fighting the battle, not just breast cancer, with any cancer.  Change up the colors to suit your needs.  This is an important fight and most of know someone who is currently struggling with it or has fought the fight already.  $3 of every stamp set purchased in my Stampin' Up! online store goes to a Breast Cancer organization.  

To see how I've put this card together and learn the techniques I've used, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel.  You can make several of these in whatever color you choose and donate to a cancer center.  They'll get into the hands of those who could use some encouragement and you get the joy of stamping and giving.
