sweet notes of thanks {CSS new release}

We're showing off a few companion sets, a few great new dies - all for this month's "favorites" release.


I've created a little 3x3 inch notecard set, using the new cake domes stamp set, and packaged it in the new party favors 8 box.

thanks for being so sweet.

The new party favor box is very chic.  It works perfectly for a set of 3x3 cards, or a few treats, and the way it opens up is just plain sexy:

thanks for being so sweet.

I punched a 2.5 inch circle into the box before I adhered everything, so that the recipient could get a peek at what's inside...

thanks for being so sweet.

See how it works?  Love it.

thanks for being so sweet.

Each card is identical: I stamped the donuts from the apothecary:sweets set onto a piece of cardstock, masked it, then stamped in the new cake stand, and added the sentiment, dome, and tiny bow from the new cake domes set.

For an extra bit of frill, I added a piece of the new eyelet border, but I tucked half of it behind the focal mat.

I hope you like my little gift.  And happy birthday to Renee!  Renee is Nicki's mom, and together they run Clear and Simple Stamps.  So Renee, hope it's a good one - make sure Nicki spoils you a bit *wink*

Cheers!

  12. Hey Elena, I love the card set. Could you tell me what size to cut the cardstock in order to run the die thru a Big Shot? Thanks so much. Love your blog!

    1. thanks so much! The die is a big one. I cut a sheet of 12x12 cardstock in half, so 6x12 inches, to be able to run it through my Big Shot. A tip: if you don't have extended cutting plates (neither do I) then just secure the die to your paper with washi tape. Run it through the machine once, carefully rotate it, and run it through again. Voila! A perfectly cut box.
