Welcome, crafty friends, and happy February! It’s Shari here today with an art journal page using my Dina Wakley 6×6 White Journal. I love the size of this journal because I can use a lot of my card-making supplies which fit perfectly on the pages.

I’ve played around with some Distress sprays and die cuts to create a colorful layout but I also allowed some white space to remain. I’ve left the die-cut leaves white so they pop against the background colors.

I love how my first layer of Dina Wakley Collage paper is still visible through all the layers of ink, the messages are the prompt and feeling for the page.

I have filmed the entire process which is below, I hope you enjoy it!

Hi all! Kristina Werner here with some super cute Valentine’s Day boxes! I used the patterned papers in the Limited Edition Happy Mail Card Kit to create small 2×2 boxes. These origami boxes are very easy to create, and fun to decorate!

For the top of each box, you will need a 6″ x 6″ sheet of paper. And for the bottom of each box, you will need a 5.75″ x 5.75″ sheet of paper. This ensures that the top of the box will fit over the bottom. I used the Lots of Love patterned papers from Doodlebug that are included in the kit.

To make the tops of the boxes not come completely down and hide the alternating patterned paper used for the bottom of the box, I created an interior liner out of cardstock (see video below for exact details). I used 1.5″ x 8.5″ strips of cardstock and scored them to create the liner.

To finish off the boxes, I tied bows around them using leftover scraps of ribbon and twine in my stash. I also attached tags. The tags were trimmed out of one of the pieces of patterned paper in the kit. There are so many small elements to use!

You can get this limited edition card kit HERE! Enjoy the video!
