Sending Love Vertical Bandstand Fun Fold card

 Hey all, I've got another vertical floating bandstand card for you today.  I absolutely love this fun fold.  I think it's easy and makes such a huge impact.  I made this particular card so I could send it out to my Aunt in Minnesota as I didn't get to mailing out my Christmas cards.  I wanted her to know I hadn't forgotten about her but didn't really want an all out Valentine card.  This is the result.  I hope you like it.  To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

Delicate heart shaped chocolates treat box

 I thought it would be a good time to make a small box to fit the Ghirardelli heart shaped chocolates which are currently available at my local Costco.  Of course, you can find them in most grocery/department stores now as well.  As Stampin’ Up!®️ is offering the  Heart Shaped bundle for free during Sale a-bration, it seemed like a great time to design a box to fit both products.  This is the result and I hope you will find it useful.  Watch the video replay on my YouTube.  channel and I’ll show you just how easy it is to put together.

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box

 Hello everyone.  I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up!  This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.  I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in.  I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them.  I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock.  If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
