Monogram Favor Boxes

I love the look of monograms, so when I decorated these favor boxes, I knew I wanted to use them to add a great personal touch. The favor boxes are from Paper Source and decorated with Stampin’ Up supplies.

I used DS paper from the Bella Rose pack, the square scallop punch, Typeset Upper Alphabet set (retired), and the One of a Kind stamp set with coordinating punch. I was inspired to use this color combo, Tempting Turquoise and Chocolate Chip to match the tissue paper inside the box that was turquoise.

These boxes are really fun to make, but even more fun to give! The Paper Source has a bunch of different shaped boxes to choose from, so the next time you need to make party favors or a package for a small gift these are a perfect option.

Pretty Flowers

Finally, some time to post! A few local stamping friends and I decided to get together regularly to stamp and swap. Our first meeting was last week and this is the card I made to swap. I would love to claim it as my own, but I got this idea from my upline, Patti.

The vases are made from the large oval punch from the new In Colors. I snipped the bottom of each oval to make a straight edge. For the “dirt” I lined up my stamp-a-ma-jig about a quarter of an inch above the white cardstock and then sponged Close To Cocoa ink. This also created a line at the bottom for me to line up the vases. From there the rest is simple. I punched out the flowers and adhered them with dimensionals. The stamp I used is from Dreams Du Jour.

Thanks for looking and have a productive day!
