Flower Pot Card

I love these Flower Pot cards!  They are so cute!  I finally got a chance to make one last week at our Demonstrator group meeting.    We started with a 3 1/2″ x 9″ piece of close to cocoa cardstock scored at 2″ and 5 1/2″ and scalloped one end.  We tapered the sides of…

Great Gift Boxes

I love the Sizzix Scallop Box die and matchbox die!  There are so many possibilities for these cute little gift boxes!  I used the Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP for both boxes because the paper is a textured cardstock that is perfect for making these boxes!   For the scallop bag I used the Great Friend…
