Cupcake Card and Pillow Box

Hi there, today I am sharing a gift combo I made for a young lady at work last week.  

As some of you may know, another one of my crafty addictions is soap-making...  So I whipped up a soap loaf (hope to do a blog post on that some time) and needed a small bag/box that would hold a single slice of soap.  As I was looking through the tons of great boxes in the SVGCuts library, I came across the pillow box in the Christmas Bags and Boxes SVG Kit and the dimensions were perfect for my soap bar.

So I pulled out some playful birthday paper from my stash (sorry, I don't know the brand as I've had it forever) and cut out my pillow box.  Here it is... super sweet and fun for a young lady.

Onto the card... which was totally inspired by the cupcakes on the paper.  I went straight to the Happy Birthday to You SVG Kit as I've wanted to make the cupcake lever card for ages.  I'm so glad I finally did - it's such a sweet card and so easy to assemble.  

As the paper I used for this project is quite bold and busy, I decided not to do the flower on the card but rather to keep the embellishments to a minimum.  The cupcake is so cute by itself so I thought just a little embossing for texture would be enough to finish it off.

I "Like" Love you - Pillow Box

Hi there, today I am sharing a cute little pillow box I made using my Cameo and SVG files from Fleurette Bloom's shop.  

The box is from the "Anytime Pillow Box" SVG Cutting File Collection and the flower is from Fleurette's awesome new "Lush Flowers" 3D SVG Collection. If you haven't seen it yet, you HAVE to check this collection out... it's amazing and I can't wait to make it ALL!:)

I wanted the flower to really "pop" on the box so I inked the edges before spritzing the whole thing with some glimmer mist.  It's not super shiny - just enough to lift it up a little and I really like how it brings the colour in the flower out.      

I used digital paper from the "I Like Love You" collection from Design by Dani which I bought from Jessica Sprague.  I also used some of the digital elements in the collection as embellishments - just a quick print and cut on my Cameo and there it was - perfectly coordinated embellishments.  I did the same with the sentiment (which I love) and finished it off with a decorative pin and some bling in the flower center.

Isn't it super cute?
