First, I have to wish Tony a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! XOXO

WOW! I was amazed at the response here and through email about the Copic/Alcohol Ink book that I shared with you last Friday. You can read that post HERE. For those of you that are interested in purchasing a book, please EMAIL ME {link under my pic} with “Coloring Book” in the subject line.

Yesterday, I showed you a couple cards from the upcoming The Cat’s Pajamas release {Feb. 27} and today I get to show you one of my favorite projects that I have done with this release…a mini gable box. You can make 2 of these out of a sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ paper…talk about easy mass production. These are very easily personalized and embellished. For this project, I just used a rectangle Nestabilities die to cut out the window in the front, but I think it would darling with the Labels 1 dies or even stars!

I am guessing that I will get a handful of people asking me how I Cuttlebugged this project. I embossed the box from either side and left the bottom of the box un-embossed.

YES, YES, YES…I did a template for you! :) Click for a larger view
Please note that this is for PERSONAL use only. THANK YOU!

    Wow!!! This is so precious. I love it and cannot wait to give it a try. I am on a template kick and not in the mood to make cards. This will be fun to do as well. Nice to do for the kiddos as an Easter suprise when they wake up in the morning. TFS!!!

    I would love to obtain the color book with alcohol inks and papet. It said to email you, and I am having difficulty finding how to get you.

    Thanks so much for your help!
