Make This Gift Box for Mother's Day!

Mothers-day-box-2023

Here's an easy little gift box that you can create in minutes. 

What can you tuck inside this box?  How about a gift card?  Maybe you could add a pair of earrings or a sweet bracelet.  Movie tickets might be nice.  Or, concert tickets to one of her favorites! 

My granddaughter asked me what I'd like for Mother's Day and I asked her to color a picture for me.  It's never to early to start them on the value and uniqueness of "handmade".

Whatever you decide, this little gift box will hold most any little treasure that you'd like to give.  Are you ready to
see how to create this little box?  The supplies used in this video are no longer available but you can create the box with supplies you have on hand.

You probably have the supplies to create a little box like this but this stamp set is definitely one you'll want to add to your collection.  It's at the top of the list below.

Today's tip video answers the question about what to do when you run out of a specific color of cardstock and you really need to finish the project.

We've all been there, haven't we?  Those times when you need a piece of THAT color and your scraps are all way too small.

Take a look at the video below and see an easy solution that works for me.
