Cute Little Box

When I saw this Oh So CUTE box on Linda Heller's website, I knew I had to case it and share it with you. Linda has great instructions and video to show how she made the box. Here is my version. I love the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper as the background for this box. 



If you need supplies, I can hook you up!

Have a fun weekend!

Cards from the Paper Dolls

 Last week the Paper Dolls card club got together and shared cards. We all have our own style and products we like to use. Here is what we made.

This was my card, featuring the Wintery Tree Top stamp set.



Lynnette shared a Fun Fold and Humble Home Bundle


Shirley provided this attractive Moody Mauve and copper fall design.

Roxanne showed us a "water spot" technique and non-traditional holiday card that used Tim Holtz ink and dies.

Bottom line we love stamping and creating cards,

See you soon
