CAS Thank you and a Gift Box for a friend

The Color Challenge from Loonie Stamper's Challenge:


Still trying to get into the groove of playing in the stamp room again after a couple of busy days.  Lots of visitors, food and chit chat!  Fun!  Anyhow I made a simple card with these colors.  They just said winter thank you to me!  This is also for the No Time to Stamp challenge - simple thank you.    This is definately a CAS thank you!

 
Cardstock: CTMH, PTI
Stamps: PTI, Unity
Punch: Marvy
ribbon: stash

While I had the color combo in my mind - love these colors.  I decided to play with some new CTMH stamps again and this is for the JUGS template challenge this week - a bonus is to use blue.

I was also inspired by the Etsy Inspired Challenge.  I chose this bag:

So here is what I came up with.

All supplies are from CTMH except the ribbon.  The template is from PTI - Around the Town.  The middle image is on foam squares.

Stamps: Noted Background, True Friends (January SOTM); You Are Beautiful
Ink: Heavenly Blue, Black
Cardstock: Heavenly Blue, White Daisy, Outdoor Denim
