July SOTM: Friendship Clear Pillow Box

Helpful Hints

To create the techniques featured in this artwork, follow the helpful hints outlined below.

Create the yo-yo as follows: cut a 1 3/4" × 12" piece of cardstock; score and fold it every 1/4"; wrap it in a circle and attach two ends together; secure to a 2" piece of paper for support.
To create the thought bubble, color the Irresistibles quote with ink then stamp the sentiment.
Add visual interest by wrapping a 3 1/4" × 9 1/2" piece of stamped cardstock around pillow box and attach so there is a flap on one side; attach a 3 1/4" × 1/2" piece of contrasting paper on edge and use corner rounder with guard removed to create scallop border.
Embellish with paper accents and accessories, adding dimension with 3-D foam tape as desired.

The Everything ABC's Blog Hop: Letter U

Welcome to the Everything ABC's Blog Hop! For this hop we will be featuring the letter U. This may be the name of a paper, a stamp set or an embellishment. Whatever the crafter has chosen as their U element will be featured in their post. When I think of the letter U, I think of Unique! What could be more Unique than your own name? A customer requested some cards to use to give out to her friends and customers. Her first name started with an M so here is what I created for her. I used many retired products for this card (sorry) but I always let my customers decide what colors and papers to use. If you are ever in need of custom greeting or note cards please let me know and I will do my best for you! Your next stop on our Everything ABC'S blog Hop is Lisa of Lisa's Stamping and Scrapping Spot . Here is the complete lineup in case you get lost along the way :) 1.
