I have to admit, I am a bit of a Stampin’Up! purist, but sometimes I have to dip into my other craft life for something very specific.  A workup of wedding favor rough samples for example.

A friend is trying to make her sister’s wedding very special on a ridiculously tiny budget.  I thought I could help out a little bit with some of my tools.

How can you not just love this adorable curvy box?  I am so glad this framelit carried over from the last holiday catalog.  I have used it so much.

This one is a slightly larger version of a favor I made using the Go Wild DSP stack.  The shape was working for her, so I gave it a try.

The original request was a pillow box though.  I brought out the die cut from my retired stash, yes I do keep those for sure.  I am addicted to die cuts and keep them all.  So, I embossed it as she had seen it done in tiny dots, also a retired folder.  See how I am?

I do have to admit that the die cuts are all other brand materials, but the wedding is on the beach and that is the theme all the way through.  I had the ribbon left over from a wedding favor production from last summer.  That was a fun one.  I made just over four hundred of those, yes four hundred.  It took quite a few movie watching sessions to finish those up.  Either way, these are some rough options for her to choose from.  See how creative you can be with some nice paper and a few good tools?

Have a creative day, what’s left of it anyway.  Can life just slow down a bit?
