Stampin' Up! Milk Carton Die Hexagon Box

I love when products have the versatility to be used for more than one thing.  The Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die is one of those products.  As if the little milk carton isn't cute enough on it's own, the die can also be used to make this hexagon box.  It is so easy to make, and I'm thrilled with the final product!

 The cute little flowers come from the SAB stamp set Madison Avenue.  I love the pearl in the center...it's the perfect touch.

Madison Avenue

Don't you just love Sale-a-bration time?  I DO!!!!  And it starts tomorrow!  I have an order just waiting for tomorrow. :)  But I was able to pre-order some of the sets, and decided on the Madison Avenue stamp set.  I thought it went well with the Alhambra jumbo wheel from the 2012-2013 Catalog, and I've been wanting to use that on a card, so this was the perfect excuse.  Not that I need an excuse, right?  I also really like the color combination of Island Indigo, Pool Party, and Calypso Coral in the International Bazaar Designer Series Paper.  I don't think that I would have chosen these colors on my own, but that's one of the things I love about Stampin' Up!...they've done the thinking for me. :)   But my favorite part of this card is the sponging around the edge of the top piece of Island Indigo.  It just makes that layer pop, and I love it.
