Today’s coordinating projects feature products from the new online exclusive Flowering Zinnias Suite! I’ve created a rose salve gift box with a coordinating card to show off this beautiful suite! Don’t these colors just scream happy to you? I can’t help but smile!

ROSE SALVE GIFT BOX
This gift box is sized to fit either a C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve or a Smith’s Rosebud Salve – they’re both the same size. I found the C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve many moons ago at Bath & Body Works and I found the Smith’s Rosebud Salve recently in a 4-pack on Amazon:
This is a great gift idea for someone you love! These salves are great for cuticles, elbows, lips, and other rough areas!
This gift box has a unique closure without using a lot of cardstock:
I added extra Designer Series Paper to the back “wall” to give this box a really nice finish. I punched two holes for a perfect ribbon bow embellishment! Here’s another angle of this cute box:
Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

ZINNIAS THANK YOU CARD
For this thank you card, I just let the Designer Series Paper do the work! The zinnias are “fussy cut” from the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper, and by “fussy cut” I mean I used my Brother Scan-n-Cut! The bright, bold colors of this card are made even more beautiful by adding the Basic White layers to really make it pop!
This card was so quick & easy to put together thanks to the beautiful products in the Flowering Zinnias Suite!
PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
- Card Base – 11″ x 4-1/4″, scored and folded in half at 5-1/2″
- Basic White layer – 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
- Designer Series Paper layer – 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″
- Sentiment Strip – 3/4″ x 3-1/2″

Beautiful, love the bright colors. Enjoy watching your tutorials, as you are patient with your instructions. Also the Q and A is so helpful. Sending hugs.
Hi Julie,
As usual, a great project for the kids (my school kids), and me of course.
I have been seeking out other projects from your web site. I hope you don’t
mind. The kids plus the kid in me really like the projects I prepare for them.
Just a note, I still haven’t gotten back to making cards, but with helping
the kids make the boxes, I have that itch to make cards again. I don’t want
to do cards yet while I volunteering for the 5th graders at my neighborhood
school. Thanks for the project.

Love the suite! You always know how to put colors together.
