This is POST #2 for today! Make sure you view the other one.
Here we have a Box of Beauty! Made in MINUTES!
I made this cute little gift item using my NEW! My Timeless Templates ©(available HERE on the 15th-release party tonight! 9pm EST HERE! ) Purse-onality Clutch template 😀 Just omit the top flap closure and you have a really pretty and practical gift box!
I hope you get a good feel for the angle of this box by the top photo.
This is filled with some wonderful bath products I received from my PSF Sonia! I have become addicted to her bath product line. She has an Etsy Shop called Essential Goodies. I am in LOVE (in case you want to know what I recommend :D) with her whipped body butter in fresh pear, love spell, and clean cotton!! LOVE!! I also enjoy the body oils.

BEFORE putting your clutch together, just stamp your cellophane and use my Poppin Acetate technique. I used my Flower Garden set for my cellophane (which can be found in most gift wrapping sections on a roll) with green, yellow, blue and apricot colored shimmery pastels for this creation. Then adhere your stamped cellophane to the inside of the top front & back panels (leaving some excess to wrap around sides of assembled clutch), then tie closed! My tag was created using the Heartfelt Basics, also being released on the 15th.
Anyway, while preparing this for my post sample :D, I thought this little Purse-onality Clutch of bath essentials would be a GREAT idea for a new mom/mom to be :D. You should NEVER forget the new MOM!!! The only thing not from her was the face mask by Neutrogena. You can get several gifts from one box of face masks! Again-think Christmas/ Holiday/Teacher………anyone really! Who doesn’t LOVE pampering?

So if you are wondering………….I printed my Purse-onality clutch on spring moss cardstock. I then ran the front & back panel through my swiss dots cuttlebug folder (I wanted the dots debossed (pushed IN), not puffed out. I embellished it simply with a Martha Stewart border punch of blue, and a simple Hygrangea flower. I think the colors are SO calming! Perfect for my theme of beauty & relaxation.
So there you have yet ANOTHER idea for what can be done with this template! Don’t forget that you also get an idea book with 5 exclusive (full color photo) projects, with instructions and supplies with every template purchase 😀
I hope to see you at the release party!
Id love to hear your thoughts on the peeks shared so far 😀 and anything you may want to see in the future 😀 You never know……………
See you tonight!

Hugs!
the debossed dots rule! this gives a totally different look without the ‘flap’…love it. you’re right – it’s a perfect little gift for a new mom – just lovely!!
Fantastic idea… great box!
Thanks for share 😀
Thanks for such great gift ideas. You are an inspiration to me! 🙂
I LOVE THIS! I plan on making some of these for my sons teachers. I have four main teachers and three AST. Teachers to purchase for this year. I found these great towls for your hair when you get out of the shower called Turbie twist towels at QVC. You can get 6 of them including shipping for $28. Less than $5 per towel. I purchased them for my Mom and I and we LOVE THEM! Especially now that my hair is getting long I can walk around with my towel on my head and not feel my wet hair while I am getting everyone ready in the morning. IT is perfect to add to this gift basket you made. I plan on getting little shampoos and conditioners to put in the basket with a Turbie twistie towel. Every woman would love to have a towel like these. You can’t even feel it on your head. LOVE IT! I should do a comercial for them. HA!
THANK YOU! For giving me this idea. I can’t wait to print out your templates and get to work.
Thanks for all your great ideas.

Here is the website to see the towels for yourself. This was the best price I could find on them and they are great quality.

I forgot to mention in my previous post. I always make my teachers a CD with soothing songs on it to add to their bath basket. I will be printing up Laurens CD template as well to match. This is a very inexpensive gift to add to the basket that makes a teacher SMILE! Cd’s cost less then .25 for a blank one. I have all my songs downloaded on my computer where I can choose 14 songs that are relaxing and burn them to a CD. You are allowed 6 downloads to a CD when purchasing from I-tunes. (That way you are not breaking the law) The teachers think you put so much time into it. Little do they know, we all have a friend name Lauren that makes our life easier. 🙂
In the past the teachers that have gotten a CD from me still email me and tell me how much they listen to thier CD’s and think of my son. It is a great gift to give from the heart.
Thanks Lauren. I can’t wait to see their faces when they get these gifts.
Another WOW Lauren. Does your mind ever slow down? Your must be exhausted my friend.
Awesome job!
