First up is a card and gift box with The Vine which designed by Melanie Muenchinger.
Here's a close-up of the box.
A close-up of the sentiment on the box.
The box I cut using an AccuCut die and came together as follow:
- Cut the lid out of Creme de Menthe card stock and the bottom of the box out of Chocolate Brown.
- On the lid, stamp the vine with green ink and the flower with red ink. Stamp the flower eight more times on Sweet Mango card stock with red ink, cut them out, bend the petals a bit, layer two on top of each other, and then onto each corner of the lid.
- Assemble box and set it aside.
- Stamp the sentiment from Your Tin 2 onto a piece of white card stock with brown ink, cut it out with Spellbinders Wonky Rectangles die, and the next size up out of Chocolate Brown card stock.
- Adhere rectangles together and then to the middle of lid.
- Finish the box of with a pearl swirl, add it to the bottom of box, and with that you are done!

Here's a close-up of the card.
One of my favorite things about Melanie's sets is the way she draws flowers and on this one she not only did created beautiful flowers, but gorgeous leaves as well. Here are the steps I took to put this card together:
- Start with a standard size card base (4-1/4" x 5-1/2") out of Sweet Mango card stock and add a 1/2" smaller piece of Creme de Menthe to card front.
- Punch out a strip of Sweet Mango with the edger punch, adhere it to the card front, and add pearls.
- Tie a strip of of brown stain ribbon around the card front. Add a bow towards the left of card front on top of strip, and a pearl in the middle of the bow. Set it aside.
- Stamp the sentiment from Arranged with Love set on a piece of white card stock with brown ink, cut it out with scalloped rectangle die, adhere to a slightly larger scalloped rectangle, and then both to card front.
- Stamp flower twice onto a piece of Sweet Mango card stock with red ink and leaf twice onto a piece of Creme de Menthe card stock with green ink. Cut them out and adhere them to the corner of card front.
- Add a pearl in the middle of the flower and with that, you are done!

Next up is a card with All Occasion Tagsset designed by Tami Mayberry.
This set has all tags and sentiments for any occasion you can think of. It's going to be one of my go to sets whenever I'm in need of tags. Due to the fact that Tami created such beautiful tags, there really is little need to add much more. I kept it pretty CAS and let the tags take center stage. Here are the steps I took to put it together.
- Start off with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" white card base and add a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of designer paper and allign it towards the bottom of the card front.
- On
- Add a strip of ribbon and a bow right above the patterned paper. Add some flower pins through the bow, some rhinestones on the pins and in the middle of the bow. Set it aside.
- Stamp tag with green ink and sentiment towards the left side of the tag brown ink, and cut it out.
- Using Spellbinders Grommet Tags, cut out a tag out of Smoky Slate card stock, adhere stamped tag to die cut tag and both to card front, next to the bow.
- Add a swirl to the tag and with that you are done!
