This sweet gift box was inspired by the decorated Mini Pizza Box photographed on page 4 of the Holiday Catalogue. The front has a 3" quilted square cut from the Quilted Christmas 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is then framed and enhance with a coordinating Whisper White die-cut from the Quilt Builder Framelit Dies.

When we think of sunflowers, we think of brilliant yellow, and when it came to stamping the sunflower images from the gorgeous Painted Harvest set, my first cards were stamped in Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry. However, if you search for sunflower images, you will find that sunflowers come in some amazing, and unexpected, colours like burnt oranges and deep crimsons.

I also love how this stamp set is gender-neutral, so can be used for both him and her. Speaking of "him", this Sunday is Father's Day here in New Zealand and I created this Father's Day Card using the At Home With You Bundle, stamping the door on one of the fabulous Wood Textures Designer Series Papers...

I used some of the products from the Naturally Eclectic Suite from the Annual Catalogue to create a sweet Friendship Card. Using a suite of coordinating products is my favourite way to create. Not only does everything match, which is important for a compulsive matching crafter like myself, but it's also effortless! For example, I love how the imagery in the Oh So Eclectic stamp set follows through into the Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies and are also repeated in the Naturally Eclectic Designer Paper...

For this month's thank you cards, I got stuck into the Embossing Paste, which is so fun to use. I used the diamond-mosaic mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and applied the Embossing Paste, as is, onto Whisper White card stock. I love the textured effect of white-on-white.
