Dear Lola,
It's so easy to love making these. They are practical as gifts, but whimsical at heart. I have been using the Suitcase Shaker Gift Card die from Queen and Company to make my little suitcases. Decorating them is fun. Any variety of stamps and dies are almost perfect. I highly suggest using the 110# card stock to create them so they have some heft and will hold up to being well-loved on someone's desk.
Check out my earlier post on how to make the post-it note pad covers. I'm thinking of learning how to post videos. I know this is crazy, Lola, but so many people are asking me for them. Not to mention, people are using my ideas and creating their own videos. That kind of hurts.
In the meantime, we will continue to craft and hang out in our happy place.
