We all know that when it come to Birthday's most of us really do not need a thing…I would wager to say that many of you are like me…spending time with family and friends is the best gift one can give…but I also know that there are times that you want to give someone a little something…
Well how about this "little practical something" Not only will you get a "feel good" by making a gift from your hands and heart…but knowing that it is a practical and useful gift! We all can use some cute enclosure 3 X 3 cards and with lining the envelope, this makes it extra special!
Today is the last day for you to take advantage of the 25% off of 25 Stampin' Up! Stamp Sets and today I am showcasng another 2 sets for you!
Don't forget when you order from me any of these stamp sets, you will have the opportunity to win a bundle of adhesives from me as my thanks to you! If Stampin Up! is celebrating and spoiling us…I am going to do the same to you!!!
I adore making 3-D containers for goodies that I make and this super cute 3 X 3 box idea came from fellow PAL, Beth Beard! Please go and check out her blog and video on making these gems – super easy to whip up and it you do not want to decorate the side…just do the front panel!
The 2 Stamp Sets that I used today were Crazy, Mixed-Up Love …
and…Label Love! Both of these stamp sets are super cute and very easy to use with lots of different cards!
Do you remember that I have posted before that sometimes I think we forget that Stampin' Up! sells 12 X 12 card stock in many of the colors…Please go to the paper section in the catalog and you will see which colors they are available in!
For this project I used the Whisper White Card Stock in the 12 X 12 paper and made cuts at 3" and from 1 sheet of paper, I can make 8 cards! Love it!
Wanting to keep this super simple, I decided that I was sticking with the color scheme of White, Yellow and Black! Can't go wrong with the basics! The Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper was the fun paper for today! Don't you just love polka dots…they make me smile…always!
When stamping in black, I do always use the Black StazOn Ink…always so clean and crisp but plese remember to clean your stamps properly, you will need to use a special StazOn Cleaner! You always want to keep your stamps clean and conditioned!
I simply did a quick and easy stamp on the front…added a couple of dots here and there and then pulling out the Big Shot and the envelope liner framelits…lining the 3 X 3 envelopes that Stampin' Up! sells…made this project a breeze!
Can't you think of many people that you know would love this! You can make it seasonal for a teachers gift…give someone Holiday Cards….the sky is the limit! I have fit 12 cards and 12 lined envelopes (2) of each 6 different designs (you could probably easily fit 15 in it!)
Using the Large Oval Punch and then the Basic Black Chevron Ribbon...the gift was finished!
Now isn't this super simple and cute! You use minimal product, one color of ink and paper, the same liner for all 12 cards…and the best thing it is soooo practical and your friends and family will love it!

Adorable! You certainly do inspire me; look forward everyday to seeing your ideas. Thanks.
Just love your work. So happy I can across your blog during a blog hop.
Love these cards and box set. Love the contrasting colors. Love the photograph too. It is very striking! 🙂
I just happened to find your Web site about two weeks ago and I’m so happy I did! I love your creations not to mention how thorough you are with your instructions! I look forward to visiting your site each and every morning now along with several other SU Demonstrators. Thank you so much for all the work you put into sharing with others!! 🙂 BTW, these 3×3 cards are just too dang cute!
Those make a sweet gift! I have liked that set whenever you use it, but every time I look at it in the catalog, I’m not inspired. You do it more than justice! Thanks for the link to the video for the box!
Have a nice day!
Definitely the cute factor going on here! Of course, I love them! Maybe because I am vertically challenged (I am not short – everyone else is just taller) I adore the little cards! How cute would they be to be made into little Christmas wishes with a snowflake on them or something holidayish!?! I guess I am stuck on Christmas cards as I helped a fellow demo cut papers for her stamp a stack tomorrow. I cut enough of one card to make 50 cards and there was three layers to it! Anyway, I think I need to try this little box of cards as an early present for a friend. She can use them as tags or however she wants! Thanks for the idea!
Susan, This set of adorable cards are great. I love the colors, the simplicity of the cards. I love the envelopes and the liners. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing all the details. Happy Stamping
