Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Neat & Tangled for their August birthday celebration blog hop!
I’ve created a card and three cute favor boxes using the Gift Card Box & Additions dies as well as the Thanks so Much stamp set.
I used the diamond shaped die from the Gift Card Box Additions die set to die cut several pieces of Pinkfresh Studio pattern paper & some solid cardstock.
I used the Thanks So Much stamp set for the sentiments on the boxes as well as the card.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these projects.
Prizes:
Neat & Tangled will be giving away one $100 gift certificate and two $50 gift certificate to the Neat and Tangled shop. Winners will be chosen from comments all along the hop all week long. Winners announced Friday, August 10th on the Neat & Tangled blog.
Today’s blog hop order:
