Box Card for Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares

craftybit

First craft tutorial of the year is a Box Card for Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares. I will also show have to make a matching box envelope with the envelope board by We R Memory Keepers.

Hi everyone! I’m back with the first craft tutorial this year and in 8 months! It’s been a long hiatus but I’m back and so inspired to craft. In todays tutorial I’m making a thank you card to a dear friend. I wanted to it to be a card and a gift at the same time so decided to send some Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares in a box card. Realised after creating the envelope that I had some extra space, so filled it with to of my favorite muji pens. If you wanna see more like this please comment below, or comment what you rather see.

Haul | My Favorite Things, Joann’s, Michaels & Hobby Lobby

craftybit

In early December me and my boyfriend traveled to Florida for a quick vacation. Not only did we go to Disney World (late 40th birthday celebration). We also traveled around and went to all the craft stores (he is a keeper!). We went to the My Favorite Things Boutique in Eustis and loads of Joann’s, Michaels and Hobby Lobbies. And this was what I got. Now to use all of them!

Jump for Joy – MFT Sketch Challenge 575

craftybit

Jumping out of the gate with an entry for a sketch challenge! First card for the year and 8 months, sorry about that but will tell you why another day. This post is all about this little appreciation card. I haven’t participated in a challenge in a long long time. When I saw My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 575 the cogs in my brain started wiring.

But as it usually goes the initial idea that I had was not what came out. Instead when I opened my drawer, where I keep my MFT Stamps, I saw the Friendly Unicorns. And all I could see was the unicorns jumping over a fence. And that was what I ended up creating, by turning the sketch upside down it fitted in the challenge. By the way I have used this stamp before, when I made my Shadow Box Card Tutorial.

Hope you enjoy this first card of the year, first of many! Hope you all have had an awesome start of the new year, mine started with a light case of rona, but I’m feeling better now. So look forward to a bunch of cards coming soon to a blog and channel near you.
