To love and be loved

Are you all enjoying the projects we’ve had to share far this week?

There is more to come 😀

Today you will want to check in on

They both have some stunning projects to share with you!

I have been on a purple kick the last few months. Since it is my favorite color I try to use it as often as possible 😀 I had realized that while this was a favorite color of mine, I rarely USED it.

Today I thought it would be great to share a project using The Flapper © and the NEW! Killer Curves set.

This project was increased in size by 15% using my Sure Cuts A Lot program and my Cricut machine. I just increased each template by that much so I could get a larger box . So each piece was sized to read to 115%

Now this box has some wonderful decorative panels that make decorating it easy, but I wanted to show you that you can get a striking gift set without all the layers if you want.

This project took like 12 minutes to make 😀 Now THAT is what I love 😀 It would take me longer to drive to a store and would certainly cost far more than I would want to spend, and wouldn’t look as wonderful! When you MAKE your packaging it turns into a gift within itself!

 I achieved a lot of WOW factor here by using black to make this really stand out. The purple just POPS against it.

I used the Killer Curves Cut file with the polka dot frame from the Killer Curves set. The frame fits really nicely with all the extra layers. I stamped it in a purple pigment ink by SEI.

I used my markers to ink up the flower image. The shades of purple against the back really make this interesting.

The sentiment is from the Tending the Garden ©  set, and reads “To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides” I think that sentiment is so heartwarming.

I am not yet sure what I am packaging up in here, but I know it will fit something fabulous 😀

For the front I used a shimmery ribbon from May Arts to tie the box closed. That is one of the funnest parts about this template, you can finally really use and show off those stunning ribbons we all tend to hoard.

I definitely felt the need to add a butterfly embellishment from the All A Flutter set. It just went perfectly with this closure. I used the Flutters and Flower cut file to cut it out of purple cardstock. I stamped it in black ink, then colored it with my copic markers and then added soem stickles! Everything is better with GLITTER!

I think it looks so pretty don’t you?
