This box opens up on both ends to reveal a box inside,
which is perfect for stashing candies in!
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut the boxes and mats then fold the boxes on the score lines.
2. With the smaller box, place adhesive on the four side tabs and adhere them to the box sides to form its shape. With the large box, place adhesive on the four tabs then adhere the long sides to them as shown.
3. Adhere the smaller box inside the center of the larger.
4. Place adhesive on the sides and the coordinating tabs then adhere those sides to the box and fold that tab over within the smaller box. Do this for both sides. This will hold the center box in place.
5. Adhere the mats in place and place your goodies in the box.
6. Once mats are in place, I punched a small hole in each side so that I could run my ribbon through.
7. I push the ribbon up through the holes and pull the ribbon tight as I close the box.
8. Cut out the Thank You sentiment and adhere to a tag. Note: I cut my Thank and You apart so that I could move them to fit my tag better. Tie a bow on the box and then tie the tag to the bow.

Good Morning! Today I am sharing four new cards. These cards are approximately 3-1/4" x 7-1/4" and have a pocket to hold money, checks, or even folded letters! The cards come with the card base (which include the pocket folds), the card mat, the sentiment pieces shown, and an envelope. All pieces are compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. The main sentiment pieces layer on each other.
Here's the tutorial:
1. Cut out all the pieces. Fold the card base on the score lines. Note: The pocket can go on either side of the card depending on how you place the paper on the mat. If you want the card pocket to face this way, place your paper you want down on your mat. If you want the pocket on the left, place your paper you want up on your mat.
2. Place adhesive on the two tabs. Adhere the long tab on top of the short tab.
3. Adhere the pocket to the bottom of the card as shown.
4. Insert your money, check, or letter.
5. Your card should look similar to this now.
6. Adhere your last letter on the card mat.
7-9. Continue adhering the letters until all pieces are on. Adhere the side sentiment.
10. Place foam adhesive on the back of the mat and adhere to the card base.
Here is the tutorial for the envelope:
1. Cut out the envelope piece. Fold on the score lines. Place adhesive on the long tab and the shorter bottom tab.
2. Adhere the tabs to the envelope side.
3. Insert your card and adhere the last envelope flap to close.
Today I am sharing my new Pop Up Gift Card Boxes! These boxes are approximately
4-1/2" x 2-1/4" x 1" and hold a standard size gift card that pops up when the box is opened. Each box is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats and the come with the paper elements shown. The boxes can be used without the gift card insert as well making a small hinged box to store gifts!
Here is the tutorial:

2. For the main box, place adhesive on the SIX tabs.
3. Adhere the top and bottom tabs to the box sides...
4. Then adhere the center tabs to the bottom of the box sides. This will form the hinge area.
5. Grab your gift card insert piece and place adhesive along each end on the backside (adhesive goes down from each arrow, just one strong strip of adhesive will do).

8. Close your box.
9. Cut out the decoration pieces.

Good morning! Today I am sharing a quick and easy Thank You Envelope which is perfect for gifting smaller gifts or even placing a card within!
Here's the tutorial:
1. Cut out all the pieces for the Thank You Flower Sentiment.
2. Use your skewer or pencil to curl the petals. Adhere the two center pieces together and push the points up.
3. Adhere the center into the middle of the smallest flower.
4-7. Push the petals up toward the center then adhere the flower into the next sized flower form staggering the petals slightly. Continue adding flowers and pushing the petals up toward the center until they are all in place.
8. Place a foam adhesive in the center of the sentiment.
9. Adhere the flower.
10. Size your envelope to fit your 12x12 mat and assemble. Tie the Pink/White dotted ribbon in a knot around the center of the bag. Place the Kiwi Velvet Ribbon around the bag above the dotted ribbon and tie with twine.
