I finally caved and ordered the new Tart & Tangy stamp set from the new SU! Occasions Mini Catalog. I really did not like this set when I first saw it, but like a lot of other sets that I didn't like at first and now own, I saw all the darling cards in the gallery at SCS and was enabled!
This cute gift set was totally inspired by a set that I saw on Andrea Walford's blog, Sunny Stampin'.
Here is a close up of the box that holds these cards. I got the design and measurements for this box from Holly McMillen, aka Toy. You can view it on her blog, Toy's Haven. This box was super easy to make and it fits A2 sized cards, which is what I was really looking for!
Here is a close up of the two vertical style cards. The card on the left is a total CASE of this card by Gretchen Clark, aka love2stampandscrap. The card on the right is my very own!! LOL!!
The card on the left is a CASE of this card by sears1130 (sorry, I don't know her real name). The card on the right used the same layout.
And finally, here is the last card of the bunch. I again CASED this card by Sharon Johnson, aka notimetostamp. I loved the layout. I changed the colors and the DP, but all the thinking came from Sharon! LOL!
That's all for tonight! Thanks for stopping by!

Love all the Tart & Tangy stuff you stamped & cased!!! I loved Andrea's box too and paid for the directions so I could share quickly with my group of gals. It was great. Love your full sized box & cards!

Jackie, your Tart & Tangy cards are adorable! I have been avoiding that set because the matching paper isn't arriving until this morning... what a dope, thinking I could live without it back when I first ordered the stamps! Can't wait to try some of these out!
