Happy Birthday to Carisa!

I really wanted to share the gift that I sent along with my Mojo #266 card.  I used one of my favorite retired papers from Close to My Heart, Wonderland.  It coordinated nicely with the card, so I wanted to show you how much bang you can get out of matchy-matchy cards and gifts.  ;)


I thought of a totally new way to use my shimmer trim!  I added it as a little tag loop to attach it to my Slate Satin Polka-Dot Ribbon.  I only removed the backing from the adhesive where it would touch the tag, not where the embroidery floss threads through.


Here is the other side.  The little box closes with a hook and loop dot.  Then I embellished it with a flower and button.  This is the same little box cut from the Cricut Artiste Cartridge that I used for my pumpkin boxes for Halloween--seriously!  ;)  HERE they are in case you missed them.  And yes, I am still trying to figure out how to edit the video tutorial I made.   :(   I need a tech department, lol.




I didn't take a picture of them, but I added some of my homemade gift tags inside the box that my friend had admired on my facebook page.  She is such a sweetheart!  I hope she has a fabulous day!  :)

  2. SO clever! And even more clever that you only removed the backing from the ends. Great box! Carisa is one lucky girl!

    1. She is one super-wonderful girl, Jayma! She is my rock and my sunshine. One of my BFFs. :)

      I was going to take the whole backing off the shimmer, but at the last second I had the thought to cut just the ends. Whew!

  3. Love this! Very pretty and what a great idea! I cut that box out of Christmas paper this week just to see what it looked like. Putting Christmas gift tags in it is a GREAT idea! Thanks so much.
