Card Keeper Box - Altered Pasta Box

I've been home more than usual and I have been cooking more than usual.  I came up with an idea for a Card Keeper Box while cooking.  As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I collect and make a ton of cards, but where do you store them all?

I came up with the idea for this box while cooking some angel hair pasta.  Oh yeah, I can't throw anything away... especially containers.  I altered the box from the DeCecco Angel Hair Nests pasta.  I covered the box with the new Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper and used the coordinating Petal Pink Metallic-Edge Ribbon to decorate.

The Card Keeper Box sits nicely on my table in my craftroom.

Happy Easter...

Timeless Tulips Daffodil Delight Easter Card

I can't get enough of the Timeless Tulips Bundle.  The Daffodil Delight Tulips coordinate nicely against the Granny Apple Green Designer Series Paper.

Casing the Catty: Best Dressed

I think every time I go through the Stampin' Up! 2020 Mini Catalog I see another card or project I missed the first time I went through the catty.  This card using Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and the Dressed to Impress Stamp Set on page 54 of the Mini Catalog caught my eye.  Love how the bags and shoes cut from the DSP look like they are on a shelf.

Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper

Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper is such special paper... I cut out the roses and butterflies to make this adorable card for a friend.

Easter Promise - Happy Easter Crocus

When I think of Easter and Spring, I definitely think of crocus flowers.  That's why I couldn't wait to buy the Easter Promise Stamp Set to make my Easter cards.  We made this card in my March Stampin Class.  I used a Smoky Slate Blend and traced around the white flower to make it pop without coloring it in.
