Take a beautiful balloon ride from your imagination when you put together this treat box. It can hold ideas, treats or thoughts from your heart. Whatever you can fit in there will be appreciated. The ribbon gives it an added touch. The colors on this particular box are soft and vibrant all at the same time.

May 16, 2019 | Congratulations, Designer Series Paper, Friends, Spring, Stampin Up, Tutorial |
First of all, the idea here is to express yourself with this lovely card creation. Additionally, the colors coordinate so well. The Doilies just compliment the background and probably give you an added amount of creativity. I’m always happy to try new things and step out of my comfort zone with a card. Maybe this would be that card for you. So take a chance and express yourself with the Dear Doily stamp set.
