Project #8 in the Ornate Garden Suite Bundle

Did you check what's retiring from the Annual and Mini Catalogs yesterday against what remains on your Wish list?  I like to curl up with a cup of hot tea and my catalog, going through the list and marking off the retiring items with a Sharpie.  It keeps me organized and it's so fun to revisit things I may have forgotten about!  Plus, I inevitably see catalog samples that have me looking at products in a new light.

But here's something that will be in the NEW annual catalog and you can get it now!  I've been posting a bevy of projects this month made with the Ornate Garden Suite.  Today's was so much fun, I made two!  It's a flap-top box.  The top is held closed with a Velcro dot (you can find those in craft stores, the Dollar Tree, or here).  

Look at the flap on this second box - I used an Ornate Layers die to cut into a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock, then backed it with the Designer Series Paper.  That peek-a-boo effect has a daintiness to it that is pretty.  And who can resist ripping and tearing and crumpling paper?  Not me!

The directions for this flap-top box are in my Ornate Garden Suite Mega Tutorial Bundle as Project #8.  These would be darling shower or party favors!

Special Note: If you have ordered from me since November, you are automatically on my list to receive a new Annual Catalog package next month.  If you'd like one, place an order of any size to be automatically included or email me at nicole@thejoyfulstamper.com.
