Custom Star Gift Box

A while ago (as in November of last year) I received a custom request from a client. It was for this beautiful purple star glittery box. :)





I had a lot of fun creating this box with the monochramtic scheme. It is always interesting to work toward something that you wouldn't have thought of on your own.

All products are CTMH (except the chipboard coasters).

Teacher Gift - Card Box

To close the end of the school year most parents get their child's teacher a gift. My daughter's kindergarten teacher absolutely loves to give cards...especially cute and hand-made ones. :) So this is what I created for her:








I left the tabs on the dividers empty as I'm not sure of how she'd like to arrange her cards. Also, I started her collection off with six or seven cards in the box. Here are a few of them:







All of the cards measure approximately 4.25" X 5.5". I found the instructions to this box from another blogger...one that is on my sidebar, for sure...but I cannot seem to locate it now to give credit. If you, by chance, know who put this pattern out there...please feel free to leave her name in the comments.

Papers for this project are from CTMH, Creative Memories, and SU!

Gift Boxes with Carrier

This has to be one of my favorite projects. I love not only the paper (from CTMH, "Topstitch") but the entire project itself. I am going to give one of these to my daughter's teacher for Teacher Appreciation Week...and I know she will love it.



I'm not sure how Shannon did hers exactly for the lids/toppers of each of the little gift boxes, but I glued the ribbon to the back of the topper and tied around the front. This way the topper can be removed and the box opened...then you can slide it right back over the top and close the box again. Great for over and over use. :)



I know I will make this project over and over again...and I'm sure that I'll give tons away over the years to come.

Various goodies - CRAFT FAIR

I showed off my wares at a local craft fair a couple years back - I did OK - but my location was not prime. I was about 8 months pregnant at the time, also, so it made the day very interesting! The preparation involved for something like this was unbelievable - but I had a blast in my studio!
