Pals Blog Hop

Hello Friends,

Happy Valentines Day to you :) Today my husband Lance & I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I joke with him and say, he only asked to marry me on this day, so he only has to buy me one bunch of roses :)
 

It's the occasion of the year as the Stampin' Pretty Pals share some fabulous cards and projects featuring Stampin' Up!'s Occasion Mini and Sale-A-Bration products on today's Pals Blog Hop!

You've probably hopped over from Mike Funke at Stampin' Style. I'm stop number 11 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for paper projects showcasing Stampin' Up!'s Occasion Mini and Sale-A-Bration products from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track.


I have quite a few "Workshops" lined up for the Sale-A-Bration period and as I like to give my Hostesses an 'extra' something along with the awesome Hostess Rewards, I made up quite a few of these "mini cards and envelopes in a box".

Here is the top of the box. You can purchase these boxes ready made in packs of 4 for just $2.95

I added pieces of Twitterpated Designer Series Paper around the sides of the box and then added a piece of Baja Breeze Seam Binding.

It has been a LONG time since I have used this particular Embossing Folder. I ran a piece of Baja Breeze card stock through the Big Shot using the "Manhattan Flower" Embossing Folder.  I punched out several flowers using the Blossom Punch and rotated them using Baja Breeze card stock and Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.  I then used the circle punches and added a Large Pearl.  Have you seen/used these yet?

When the hostess opens the box, she will find 8 mini cards and envelopes.  I used the same pattern/rotation as I did on the top of the box.  I used Textured Whisper White card stock for the base of the card and smaller pearls for the middle of the cards.

I punched out small circles using the 3/4" punch to give the envelopes a finishing touch

Here are the 8 cards :)
