  Hello Ai fans and welcome to our latest challenge!

Teeny Tiny!
This will be our final Bi-Weekly challenge of 2024 and then we'll move on to our Design Teams' favorite cards of the year.

Over the next week we want to see your cards and crafty projects that are teeny tiny.

These can be tiny cards, bags, gift boxes, journals, ornaments, tags, earrings etc., as long as they're small.

Last week Dori was our Featured Artist and she created the sweetest, tiniest little fairy house you've ever seen!

Now we can see what all of the other Design Team members have created.

Bee and Butterfly Mini Boxes by Reneé Matarese

Did you guys see the awesome little box die set that was just released?

It couldn't be cuter and I can't wait to make more.
The set is #5805 and it comes with 11 dies.

I always notice AFTER I've edited and added photos that there's yet another dog hair stuck to my project...sorry.

These little boxes are going to be so perfect for so many things!
They measure about 2 3/4" L x 2 1/4" W x 7/8" H
(Just under 7cm L x 5.8cm W x 2.2cm H)

Of course I was THRILLED to see this sweet little bee die included.  There are so many pretty dies included with the template to personalize and embellish your boxes.

For my second box I used cream cardstock and metallic gold paper which is not fun to photograph. If anyone has any tips...let me know.  This time I added the butterfly to the top.  It's tough to see but there are black rhinestones on his body and his wings are popped up to add dimension.  I measured the top of the box, cut a panel to fit and then embossed it.

I also used the other filigree die on the front of this one.  I'm not sure which is my favorite.
Also, are those Laurel branches?  I feel like I should know and that's the what they're reminding

me of.  The die is straight but I was able to easily bend them.  I'll bet they could be used to create a pretty wreath on a card too.

These were so easy to make and came together quickly. I'll be using this little set ALL the time!

Coffee Gift Card Holder Thank You Box by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!!

Today is my birthday so I thought we'd celebrate with a drink!

A little while ago two of my friends brought my family a wonderful dinner...just to be nice!

I wanted to give them a little thank you so I made them these gift boxes with some hard coffee in them.

I used the 5222 – Coffee Gift Card Holder.
There's no gift card in it this time.  I didn't make it to slide up like other times I've used this set.  It was just meant to be a decoration on the front of the box to emphasize that this is a coffee themed gift.

There's no coloring on my coffee cup.  This is all done with dies. The star, rosette and coffee sleeve are all part of the set.  I made the rosette look like an award and used a die from 5132 – Tag Stitched Dies.

I strung some curling ribbons through the pop tops to make the cans feel festive.

A few years ago I made a similar gift box.

You can see the box that inspired this one HERE.

There's also a link on that post to another box I made that has the tutorial.

My friends both said that they loved these! The box AND the hard coffee...they're really good.  You should try them, and I don't even drink coffee!

Take Out Container Coffee Gift by Reneé Matarese

Hello Ai fans!

Today I'm sharing another coffee creation to go along with the current challenge over at Art Impressions.  I used the stamp set from Ai called Cafe (Sku#3516).

I used a clear takeout box for my gift box.

There's a verse from the set on top of each little K Cup.

When you open up the card top you can personalize the inside.

I used another Ai stamp called Window - Front & Back (Sku#L1745) on the inside.

This little container was perfect for 4 K Cups with
some shredded paper to hold them in place.

You can open up the window to see more of

the stamps from the Cafe Window set.
