Another Blessings of Home Card Idea

Happy Monday and welcome to another Blessings of Home card idea.  I hope you had a great weekend. There have been quite a few thunderstorms here in Southeast Texas but currently the sun is shining and the weather is mild.

This bouquet image is easy to color and with its coordinating die, it made a sweet main image for this card. See the full list of products below.

Here are the details for this Blessings of Home Sympathy Card:

• Pale Papaya 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [155668] base is 4-1/4 x 11.
• Fresh Freesia 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [155613] is cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8. Die cut the rectangle from the middle.  (No one will ever know!)
• Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [159276] is cut 4 x 5 for stamping, cutting, and die cutting.

Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021- DIY Gift Box

Here's another 2021 Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas project with a DIY Gift Box.  It is my hope that these projects that have been shared this week will make things just a bit easier for you.  If you've missed the other projects, you can catch those at these links below:

Project #1

Project #2

Project #3

Project #4

I don't know about you but many times I am scurrying around looking for a box.  Boxes are just too hard to store but these are fun to make and will work for many gifts. This is a great pattern to keep on hand and it is super simple.  It is 6" square and 3" deep.  You could even fold an adult-size t-shirt to fit inside.

Here's the video then you will want to "dig through" all that 12 x 12 paper that you have been saving ;) to create these!

Stampin' Up! Countdown to Christmas 2021- DIY Gift Box

Lisa's Inklings:

• You will need two pieces of 12 x 12 paper. 
• Score both at 3" on all 4 sides.
• Cut two tabs off one side of the top as shown in the video.
• Adhere the one long tab to the outside of the back of the box bottom. (see video)
• Tie with ribbon and add a tag!

If you can use this idea and do make one of these boxes, leave a comment below and let me know!
