Today we are sharing "Love" themed projects made with PPPR files.

For my project, I used the "Small Gift Box with Window" cutting file.

 

I cute the box out of pink cardstock, and then I cut a separate piece of patterned cardstock for the top.  I added some plastic for the "window", and then tied it with some pink/white twine and a button.

 

This cute little box is the perfect size to fit a cookie, or even some candy treats.

A Laughing Thank You!

Hello Crafty Friends

and

Welcome to 2015!

 

I hope you each had a wonderful Holiday and a great end to 2014!

 

My kids and I spent the Holidays with my parents and my brothers and their families.  It's always a great time when we can all get together, catch up on life, and just hang out.

 

Today is my day to share over at the Pretty paper, Pretty Ribbons blog, and I made a cute Thank You card using their "Laughing Light Bulb" cutting file.

 

 

Details:

I cut the file at 125%, and used the offset feature to create the white folded card base.

I added the cheeks using some pink chalk, and the sentiment is from the "Simple Sayings 2" stamp set by Jaded Blossom.

 

Have a great week and Thanks for stopping by!
