I was having a play around with a box design and accidentally created this cute mini milk carton gift box.  It was not what I intended to create, but love it!  The design is easy to create, plus fun to fill to give away.  The colours and final finish of this mini milk carton gift box were inspired by Cheryll Miller's Love of Leaves greeting card, which uses the fabulous Love of Leaves Bundle.

I am loving the way you can stamp the tree from the Life is Beautiful stamp set for different seasons.  So far, I have stamped this tree and made cards for both spring and autumn, and now I have created this fun friendship card with beautiful summery colours.

This week's Your Creative Connection theme is HALLOWEEN/AUTUMN.  Here in New Zealand, we don't traditionally celebrate Halloween and it is currently spring-time, making this theme a bit of a stretch.  However, I did purchase the Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper from the mini catalogue because it is so much more than just Halloween.  On the reverse of the pages are hauntingly, beautiful florals and delicate fillagree designs.  Because I already had the Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper, I paired it with the Little Treats Bundle and Round Tins to create this ghoulish treat.

The Peace & Joy stamp set and coordinating Joy Dies are so much fun to play with and those who attended the Mini Catalogue Launch Party certainly enjoyed creating these three stunning Christmas tags with this product bundle...

At last week's Mini Catalogue Launch Party, we created Christmas cards.  For some of us, they were the first Christmas cards for this year!  'Tis the season to be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la ♪♫♬...

Last week's Mini Catalogue Launch Party was a lot of fun and a great way to welcome the new catalogue with creating, games, and prizes!

This week's Your Creative Connection theme is WHAT'S BEHIND THE MASK.  For this theme, I die-cut my own mask using the Snowflake Wishes Bundle and then used this custom stencil with Shimmery White Embossing Paste to create a slimline friendship card.

In this month's email update I shared a tutorial for a quick and simple card using the gorgeous Life is Beautiful stamp set.  I have taken that card and stepped it up in both technique and texture.  Here is what I created...
