Mother's Day Gift Idea

2011-04-17T10:16:00.006-04:00

A co-worker of mine asked me to make some "Thank You" cards so she could give them to her mother for Mother's Day. Her mother is forever giving out thank you cards and it is a gift she is sure to appreciate. I found this video tutorial online that gave me a great idea to package this gift for her. I made the cutest box that holds 6 cards and 6 envelopes perfectly!!

Here is the end result:

Here is what the box looks like from an angle:

Once I competed the box, I decorated it with Daffodil Delight paper and designer series paper and topped it off with a sentiment from the Well Scripted stamp set. I love how it turned out and will definitely use this idea again.

Happy Anniversary Barb & Pete

2010-07-08T12:27:00.000-04:00

I had a lot of fun making this card for my sister and brother in law's anniversary. I got to use my big shot and mover and shapers die cut. I love how it turned out. Here is what it looked like from the outside:

The inside is just as pretty, with a punched out image:

The finishing touch is embossing along the bottom of the card on the inside:

Pink Passion is one of my favourite colours and I'm sad that they retired it. I bought a bunch of it, though, so I'll be able to make cards with this colour for a long time to come. I really like it with So Saffron and Apricot Appeal, another retired colour I will miss.
