I’m back today with another Focus Friday card. During the month of June, I’m looking at different ways to use our designer series paper (DSP). Today I used scraps to create these cards. These are small strips that would otherwise go unused and stay in my stash forever.

I pulled the card together with a heat embossed sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I heat embossed the cardstock mat so that everything would match.

How cute is this little box? I’ve made it a few times and always love how easy it is to construct. This is my Valentine’s version using the Sweet Talk designer series paper (DSP) from the new catalogue. The trick to making sure everything folds together easily is to round the corners of the flaps on the bottom and top closures.

There is an easy reference template below alongside the video tutorial. Do check it out and then share your creations in my Facebook group.

I just love how good this bag looks. It has sturdy handles as they are made out of two layers of cardstock. The bag is really simple to make but it really looks lovely. A beautiful bag to house a special gift for someone that makes your heart leap.

The Sweet Talk paper is divine. Yes, it is aimed at Valentine’s Day but I do remember that love is not just for Valentine’s Day. You can give a gift to someone you love at any time of the year. You don’t need a special occasion.
