Sweet Finds into Sweet Treasures

Good Morning Sweets!

Jessica Kephart here from { www.homespunelegance.blogspot.com }to Share some Fun and Fabulous Finds to Alter and create One of Kind Gifts!

Each project will be featuring some super SWEET TWISTS that I've challenged myself with and Challenge YOU TO CREATE!

• These are all Sweet gifts to give to your friends and family
• They all costs UNDER $5.00 to Make! <--------Um that's pretty Sweet! Right?
• Some SWEET FINDS from the totally FREE to the FABULOUSLY FRUGAL to stampcycle into something totally spectacular!  

My first project is a Box & Card Set for any Occasion!

{Click Photos To Enlarge}

Let's Start with the Box Lid and Base:

See Photos for Cut and Score Lines

To finish off the Box simply Tie off with Coordinating Ribbon and a Stamped Tag

For the Cards You'll Need:

Scootin By Image and Sentiment Set

Let me tell you a little Secret my sweet friends!! 

This ADORABLE stamp set is in the Clearance and Retired Stamp Section of the Sweet Stamp Shop Right now!! So once this darling set is gone, it's gone!!

4 Card Bases & 4 Envelopes
4 Matts cut slightly smaller than card base
4 Coordinating Papers from Box Lid cut to size
4 Scraps from Box Lid Cut to size with Stamped Images (Scootin by)
4 Banner Tags cut from Scraps of Box Base (turned over to use Kraft Side) stamped with your     Sentiments (Scootin By)
8 pieces of Coordinating Scraps of Ribbon (I Matched mine to the Card Matt)
A Stapler

On the inside of the Card I used 2 pieces of White Cardstock (Cut into 4 Pieces) for the writing and to coordinate it with the Cards, I simply stamped the image onto a piece of scrap first, and then onto my card so that it was super light and not to distracting.

Here are a few ideas for totally FREE {Or very close to} PAPER sources:

• Always Throw away that phone book you get each year? Snag a few pages out of it before throwing it in the Recycling Bin! HELLO! Free Paper! 
• Wrapping Paper - Save that Super Cute Wrapping Paper to re-use! 
• Don't get Plastic at the Grocery Store! Get Paper! Better for your Stash & the Environment!
• Magazines, Newspapers, Old Books, Tissue Paper, Crepe Paper, 
• Clean out your Shredder! Ummm super cute Gift Box Lining!
• Product Packaging! They make their packaging SUPER CUTE! Use em!
• Wallpaper and Vinyl Samples and Sample Books are GREAT sources for free Paper! When I was little, my Momma and I used these to make over my Doll House!
