Happy Friday! I am back with my second project using the template "Do Me a Favor" that will be available for purchase on the 15th at Papertrey Ink! I immediately had so many different ideas for this cute template that I finished 3 boxes in one evening. Here is one I am planning to use as a place card for our Christmas dinner :
For the tag I used the gorgeous "Giga Guidelines" set:
And wrote the name of the recipient onto the back:
For this version I decided to close the box with ribbon that`s held in place by a knot in the inside of the box and is drawn through both box base and lid to close the box with another knot:
I hope you like my Place Card Box! And I hope my family will ;)! But I have to change the design a bit for our dinner, because Godzilla-Me managed to tear apart my new favourite stamp when taking it off the acrylic block - the beautiful flourish leaves stamp from the "Turning a New Leaf" set!!! You can`t imagine how that shattered me, it was brandnew and I was distracted for only one tiny moment and didn`t pay attention to how I lifted it from the block. Sorry for my whining, but the only ones to understand this tragedy are you!!
I`ll be back tomorrow with my third box using "Do Me a Favor". Be sure to visit Nichole Heady for the new releases and be inspired by her fabulous creations and those of the design team! I`d be happy if you were stopping by again!
Thank you for visiting today and have a wonderful Friday!
Hugs,
Vanessa

Thank you for sharing a peak into the "Do Me a Favor". Love the detail of your place cards! I can relate to your "trauma" with your new stamp. That happened to me one time and I would reach for that stamp so many times. I was thankful when I received my replacement.
I love the box! Super cute. I have to say that I have one PTI image that I also tore when pulling it off the acrylic block. VERY frustrating!
Your feet must be sore from sooooo much happy dancing! This is more lucious work, my friend! Great inspiration ~ as always! This makes me want to get crafty and GIFTY at the same time!
Ist das schön Vanessa und was für eine zauberhafte Idee.
Liebe Vorweihnachtsgrüße

Absolutely beautiful, love it!!
YUM!! this is so beautiful Vanessa!!! poor you!! I have done exactly the same thing with one of my BasicGrey stamps!!!! that was a big flourish, too.... well, hope we all learn from this and hope you recover from the shock soon!! =)
This is just beautiful Vanessa! Bad news about that stamp, it is easily done, Jo x
Lovely. Gorgeous color, and perfect idea.
O , I can understand your trauma with your new stamp. I will probably cry for days if something like that happen.
Ok, I'm cry already for my new puncher.
I'm so happy for your collaboration with PTI. Congratulations. And when I see your work I know that you you fully deserved this.
Many hags, L
Oh, so sorry to hear about your stamp. That's never happened to me, but I've lost one or two in the past. Your place card box is adorable. I have those same chocolates in my pantry, bought them in Austria a few months ago.
Man...that stinks! I would totally be bummed too!
This is so beautiful! I do really like this template!
These are gifts in themselves - so beautiful! Love this red and white! I sympathize with you over the stamp - hope it will get replaced for you!!
Great little boxes Vanessa, They will look so pretty on your table at Christmas. I am sorry about your stamp, I shall have to be more careful with mine, I didn't realize they could easily tear.
Stunning!
Oh no Vanessa I thought it was just me who did things like this! It's so heartbreaking and I know how it feels! :< But your place cards are gorgeous! Love them! :>
Quick, Nichole, get a new stamp to Vanessa.
Great idea of using the favor as a place card. I'm sure your table will look quite elegant.
I think your design has a beautiful simple elegance to it that could be foundon a plate in a Pottery Barn magazine. I love Pottery Barn AND your card!
What an adorable project, really love the brilliant redness on this, very festive and what a perfect gift!
Love the templates you have made! How neat to get to try them first, before they go on sale! :) So sorry about the stamp, but thank you for letting us know! I will be a little easier with mine now, sorry I had to learn from your mistakes! :)
