A Little Something,..

My friend has been trying so hard to get healthy and is doing really well, so I thought I'd make her a little something to reward her for all her hard work. She actually inspired me to teach the Stationary Box class last week and said she wanted to learn how to make it. She's told me in the past how much she loves this DP, so I used it in most of the project. I love this CC's Nora stamp so much and think she looks so cute lying down on the flowers! I kept the cards simple again and since she is also a papercrafter, I left a lot of the labels blank so she could stamp in whatever sentiment she wanted to. (Yes, they were intentially left blank for that purpose- I didn't forget to finish them!). Anyway, I hope she likes it! Here's the notecards I included in the box...

Stationary Box Class

I guess you can say I was a bit ambitious! I thought I could do a Stationary Box class AND a Christmas Card class in the same day. I've learned my lesson and won't do that again!!! :) Anyway, I fell in love with this paper and took the whole pack for the class. It was the right combination of words, colors, and flowers. The inside is the same color green with polka dots, so it worked well for the box base since you can see both sides of the paper. You can find the instructions on splitcoaststampers.com. We made 5 matching cards, 3 3x3 note cards and 5 tags to put in the box. We skipped the address book, etc. because there just would not have been enough time to finish it all. Here's the cards we put together for the box... Decided to incorporate butterflies since I have many butterfly punches and thought it would coordinate nicely. Loving this notebook paper too!
Here's the 3- 3x3 notecards for one of the pockets.
And here are the 5 tags we made using a tag punch by EK success.
