I made this card for my husband on our 6th anniversary. I used the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' kit. These kits are perfect for scrapbookers or card makers. All I did for this card is cut the card base, a strip of card stock, and punched two circles. All I had to do after that was peel and stick!!!
I love giving homemade cards to those special people in my life. They don't even have to be complicated to mean a lot.
I especially like to make them for my husband because he is the one that gave me that first nudge to start crafting. He bought me my first stamp set and ink because he knew I was a little nervous to get started. I have the best scrubby ever!!
I did post a Video on this card below and check out the supply list - super short!!

The Holiday Mini just went live today. HOORAY! The link is posted on the sidebar. This catalog has so many great products and ideas for the holiday season. I have been having so much fun playing with the new products.
Two of my favorites are on this post, the Candy Wrapper die and the 1/2" Lace Trim. They are so great. The Candy Wrapper is such a fun idea for treats. I will be making tons of these for Halloween. The Lace Trim is just so delicate, it is different from the lace in the Idea Book & Catalog. The Victoria and Chantilly are more like a cotton thread lace where the Lace Trim is nylon. It looks great paired with other ribbon or just by itself. The New Video I promised is posted below. It shows how to score the Candy Wrapper so it is easier to twist closed. The way I do it takes a little extra time but it makes it close clean and quick.

The Love Letter DSP is so much fun to play with especially with the Artistic Etchings stamp set that coordinates. The images in this stamp set look so amazing together. I especially like the key, it is so detailed.
I made a Video to show you how I made this project below. It is always fun to make these matchboxes, it is one of my favorite things to make.
I also made a coordinating candy that was made using the new candy wrapper die coming out in the new Holiday Mini on August 1st. This mini is so amazing. I especially love this die. I have been playing with it all month. All the score lines are made for you so it is so easy. I am making a New Video to show you how to make this candy wrapper to post when the New Holiday Mini goes live on Wednesday.
I really like this new Owl punch, it is so cute and so many shapes are on it. I used the little heart that punches out to make the bow. You could use the Small Tag punch to add any little sentiment you wanted. I just left it plain so I can grab it when I need a thank you or thinking of you treat.
The DSP I used is from the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' Kit. This kit has so many cute card stock stickers. It also has coordinating chipboard that the stickers will fit perfectly. I love that about Stampin' Up!.
I made a video for you to see how I made this cute little box. One tip is if you want to die cut something with score lines, the Premium Crease Pad is a MUST. If you don't use it the score lines will sometimes cut, it is not ideal. Anyway, enjoy.
