Things I Love PPA25
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
More Sale-A-Bration choices than ever! There are over 75 additional gift options (one free gift for every $50 in product you spend) on p. 11 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Click to download Sale-A-Bration.- The Things I Love stamp set I used today is listed on page 11 as one of the freebies!
- Need a hug? I sure did. The new Hugs notes on p. 19 of the new Occasions Mini Catalog work solo or as the perfect Whisper White scalloped rectangle backing my sentiment. Groovy.
- The finished size of this card is 4" x 4".
- The Clear Pillow Box is created with a Big Shot, the Pillow Box Bigz Die and Window Sheets Medium. I used Mini Glue Dots (103683) to adhere (inconspicuously)
- 1" wide strips of Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper are wrapped around the Hershey's Nuggets.
DO IT YOURSELF ENVELOPE:
I adore coordinating envelopes. Adding texture to an envie flap or tucking in a pretty envelope liner adds a delightful polish. Ready to create the whole kahuna? It's easier than you think.
- Take any existing envelope and carefully take it apart. Voila! You have a template that you can reuse. I started with a 4.25 x 4.25 envelope (sacrificed for "the cause" from Stampin' Up!'s Fresh-Cut Notes set, 111882)
- I used Dotto removable adhesive to attach Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper to my envelope template. Take extra care to get adhesive close to the edges of the template. This keeps things in place better.
- You can either trace first or be brave and carefully cut the designer paper while the template and paper are still attached (my impatient method).
- Peel off the template. Fold and adhere and there you have it!
- When you are ready to seal the envelope, just add a touch of adhesive and you're done.
Lovely! My favorite is the tag. The clear box is really cute.

I love your colors Mary. It looks just like the treat!!! The envelope is SO gorgeous. I love the instructions. Oh my goodness…I better get playing before I go buy some goodies!!! (the weight gaining kind!!!)
Hi Mary! I saw your sneak peak the other day and I couldn’t wait to see the full reveal. This is so sweet! I wasn’t sure about that stamp set, but now I’m convinced! XO
Love both the card and the pillow box! The embossing was the perfect touch!
what a wonderful idea to make your own matching envelope, “good sacrifice” :). The card is just lovely with the embossing folder “Which is on my wish list” and that ribbon is like gravy on my potatoes. Have a great day.
Dear R: Gravy on your potatoes? Delicious comment. I love the analogy. Hugs, M
Love those colors Marys, wonderful set!!! Love it. Hugs,
