I hope you can stand one more Fiesta Flower project.
This is the original idea I had in mind when I saw the stamp. I wanted to use it to make an embellishment for boxes by layering the image. Its very easy, but you have to like cutting things out!
I just embossed Fiesta Flower with Zing white embossing [...]

Or maybe more of a “Snowball Fight Recovery Kit”…
I’m still playing with clear card boxes. This time a used a half inch thick box to make a little hot chocolate treat pack.

I use the clear card boxes all the time to hold… well… cards….

For this project, I used heavy weight vellum cover stock. Its much stiffer and heavier than the vellum you might be [...]

So here is a little project to make boxes for giving the treats for Halloween.
The template can be printed on the back side of your cardstock. Each sheet of cardstock will [...]

I decided to try using the mini-mailboxes from the Target dollar spot to make Valentine treat boxes for my 3 girls.
