Welcome back to the May Arts blog! We’ve got a fun week of Lawn Fawn/May Arts Ribbon creations for you so be sure to stop in every day to see what the Design Teams have created to inspire you.
The inspiration for my project came from this sweet Petite Paper Pack from the Bright Side Collection by Lawn Fawn.
We’re going to visit our grandchildren in a few weeks. One of the hardest things about going to visit is leaving again. We started the tradition of sneaking into their bedrooms on the morning we leave and hiding a small gift under their pillows. Now, instead of tearful goodbyes, they can’t wait to see what surprises are waiting for them.
I created this little gift set for our granddaughter.  She has her own sewing machine and table in her mom’s craft room so they can spend crafty time together.  I used the papers featured on the cover, cut them into 1 inch strips, and then sewed them together to re-create the same pattern. I made two pieces like this. One was used for the card and the second was cut in ½ inch pieces, taped together and applied to the tin.
The stamps are from Lawn Fawn’s “Sew Lovely” set. I love the bright colors paired with May Arts 3/8” Solid Woven Check ribbon. She’s very “into” purple right now so I know she’ll love the color! The buttons are tied with May Arts Ivory Burlap String.
I lined the inside of the tin with more of the Lawn Fawn papers, then I added a matching collection of buttons and 1 yard each of May Arts Ribbon that I think she’ll love.
I can’t wait for her phone call when she finds it.

What a sweet idea, the little gift and how you leave it! Thanks for sharing this project and card with us.
What a terrific idea! Thank you so much for this beautiful suggestion…I'm off to visit my 5 year old granddaughter this weekend (out of state), and I can't wait to put this together for her 🙂
Also, thank you very much for a chance to win!
I just said Hi! on the Lawn Fawn FB page. Thanks so much for the opportunity!
I love what you created for your grandaughter– especially the adorable sewing box. My grandmother was very special to me and your tradition of leaving a goodbye present under her pillow reminds me so much of some of the special things that we shared. Your grandaughter will remember the gift of your relationship most of all. I said hello on Lawn Fawn's F.B. page.
oh this set is too cute
What an awesome gift set- so beautiful!
Love the "tradition" you've established with leaving a gift under the pillow. What a great idea and making a mini sewing box was so cool. The stamps were "sew" appropriate. TFS
This is GORGEOUS! That ribbon looks amazing with the Lawn Fawn papers!
What a lovely idea to make such a "crafty" present! I wouldn't mind recieving one of those either! 🙂
Adorable and the ribbon may be my favorite ever.Purple is my favorite color and I hoard gingham.
Just left a big Hello on the Lawn Fawn FB page. I just love their stamps and together with your ribbon it' s just a wonderful combination.
OMG…. I just love that card. TFS
great gift pakage. Left a message at Lawn Fawn. Thanks for the chance to win the amazing prize.
What a fun tradition! Grandparents are the BEST! Your grandaughter is so lucky and is going to LOVE this!
What a great gift!! I went over to Lawn Fawn's Facebook Page and said and let them know you sent me. Good luck everyone
What a great gift idea, love the check ribbon 🙂
Sure wish I could join in on the giveaway fun, but I, alas, do not "do" Facebook. Good luck to the folks who do. 🙂
what a fun gift! I just love the colors you choose!
This is such a cute gift idea for your granddaughter!
