Hi all! I hope you had a great Easter. We had a WONDERFUL time with my family. I made up a basket full of my mother’s Mary Kay products! (I hoped to stamp them but somethings just didn’t get to happen sue to family issues)The kids were amazing and each year the egg hunt gets more and more fun!

Today I was going to have a video for you on how to make our Rambling Rose © cut file, and I do apologize for having to put that off, but I have had some family issues to tend to. I will do my best to get that done by the end of our release week though.

Today both Pam and I are sharing some ideas for the Slip Cover © template! This really a MUST HAVE!

Here is a peek from Pam Imholz

Words from Pam:

Administrative Assistant’s Day is the 21st of this month – I make sets of cards for the gals in the office and then I do a little something extra for the gals who work more closely with me (you’ll see that later this week). Come see a simple card set featuring the beautiful new Slip Cover box, the new Just for You stamps and the new Pretty Printable papers. Quick and easy but delightful gift set.

 

Make sure you stop by Pam Imholz blog!

 

Today I thought I’d share a fun project with you all!

 

I have a “smaller version of the Slip Cover © template to share.

I knew I wanted a smaller box so that I could use it as a SPA Gift Card holder. After some figuring, if you resize the template to be at 60%, it becomes the PERFECT size for such a gift!

 

Mind * Body * Soul

I think this came out really pretty! I love the vibrant colors!

 

This design uses the template in a horizontal fashion. I love that you can use it both vertically and horizontally!

I combined both the Take Time , Petal Perfection & Just For You sets for this beauty.

As you can see a gift card fits perfectly! You could fold a gift certificate in there too.

 

The label from Take Time © was used as my “tag”/focal point. I cut the tag using the label from the Take Time ©  template. I colored the frame with my markers. I had to FINALLY color the flowers from Petal Perfection ©. I used my copic markers, and added some jewels to the centers.

Going with the amazing colors of a Monarch butterfly as my inspiration, I printed my base for the  Slip Cover © template using the Flutters & Flowers ©   Pretty Printables Digital Paper. The “take time for yourself” sentiment was stamped around the circle. My “monarch” butterfly in the center. I love the look of all these combined.

I think the ribbon was a perfect touch.
