Welcome to Monday and the makeover of this sweet pillow box using the Stampin' Up! Into the Woods Designer Series Paper and A Little Something stamp set.

Isn't the artwork on this paper fabulous?  The design was hand drawn by Stampin' Up! artists to create the designs for this beautiful fall themed paper.

Below you'll find the original project in a video tutorial from earlier this season.  You can also find it HERE on You Tube.

inklings:

• The little leaves from the stamp set make for an easy background for the sentiment.
• Combine designer paper patterns for a fun accent.  Notice the belly band in the Daffodil Delight print.
• Try using wide ribbons as an embellishment strip.  Here the Burlap Ribbon is snipped on both ends.
• The Square Pillow Box is the way to go as a small gift packaging solution!

We all need thank you cards so this week's Makeover Monday features a handmade note card for expressing gratitude and made with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

With the sale of each one of these stamp sets, Stampin' Up! donates $3 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  To date, Stampin' Up! has donated over $1,000,000 to RMHC and their network of chapters.  What a worthy cause that keeps families together and surrounded by love when their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.  Purchasing this set is a way of supporting such a ministry.

Let's take a look at the original project in the video tutorial below or you may watch it HERE on You Tube.

 inklings:

• Coredinations card stock is no longer available (as seen in the video) but you can get a similar look with a textured background.
• The Handpicked Framelits are not used often enough in my stamp room!  Layer as seen in the makeover of a fun look.
