Stampin' Up! Floral Mini Album in a Suitcase Treat Box

Today I'm sharing a project that is as fun as it is meaningful! I took the adorable Stampin' Up! Treat Boxes, and gave them a whole new purpose, by turning one into a home for a mini album.

The box itself is just to cute, with it's suitcase style shape, and it was the perfect size to tuck in a little album filled with memories.

Inside the suitcase is a mini album, just the right size for a collection of photos. I designed the pages to hold snapshots, making this project both a keepsake and a gift. The floral Ephemera pack makes the project come alive. It's like handing someone a suitcase packed with love and memories.

Wouldn't this be adorable for a travel album, baby pictures, or even wedding mementos?

Stampin' Up! Peace on Earth Meets Florals

Today I'm sharing a card that celebrates the timeless beauty of white-on-white design, with just the right touch of color to make it pop!

I started with layers of embossed white cardstock to give the card depth and texture without overwhelming the clean look.

Embossing adds such a beautiful detail that catches the light, and instantly makes the card feel elegant.

To brighten up the design, I added a burst of vibrant florals. The bold splash of color creates a stunning contrast and draws your eye right to the focal point. Tying it all together, I finished with a gorgeous Summer Splash ribbon, adding both texture and playful seasonal vibes.

Stampin' Up! Gift Card Holder

Today I'm sharing a fun and cheerful project that's perfect for summer gifting- A handmade gift card holder!

I created this one using Summer Splash cardstock, as well as Florals in Bloom DSP. (Designer Series Paper) for a fresh seasonal look.

To finish off the front, I added a Petunia Pop bow. It adds the perfect pop of color and makes the whole project feel polished and ready for gifting. The gems will be available to order in my on-line store on Sept. 3rd. They are iridescent dots.

Gift card holders are one of my go-to projects because they're quick to make but feel so special and personal to the receiver's likes.

If you'd like to try this design yourself, pull out your favorite color, and coordinating DSP. You'll be surprised how easy it is to create something beautiful and functional.
