Card for a Wedding

My Sister-In-Law's friend recently got married (eloped!)and she wanted me to make her a card that displayed the date of her wedding.  After looking for inspiration, I came up with on that I found on pinterest and tweaked it.  I then made a dimensional box for her to present to her friend.  The card is a 6x6 Easel card, the cardstock is from DCWV "Garden Party" and uses Spellbinders dies (the 2 largest of the "Floral Ovals" dies, Majestic Labels 8, a fancy small rectangle that was cut apart for the corners and a couple of small flourishes)  I also used an embossing folder by Anna Griffen "Eyelet Stripe" and the Cuddlebug. The Fonts used are Alex Brush, Cantoni Pro and Cantoni Pro Flourishes and Myriad Pro.  I also created a Dimensional Envelope with 1/2 inch depth using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard with the diagonal piece.

My little scrap paper holder

My sisters and I like to craft with each other via Skype because both of them live in Arkansas and I well...don't! lol My younger sister and I both made these wonderful (and functional) scrap paper holder's.  The box actually closes up but for some reason I didn't think to take a photo of it closed.  I got the idea from a tutorial that I found on Pinterest. The paper that I used is from K&Company by Susan Winget and I don't see that the stack has an actual name. The flowers were all made by me using coordinating papers. Here is a photo of my interpretation.


Haberdashery Mini Album

I had the pleasure of working with my wonderful sister over the period of a week on Skype making this album, it was so much fun! The name of this vertical paper bag mini album is from a paper stack by, The Paper Studio called "Haberdashery". I wanted to make this entire album from this one paper stack, but I have far too many beautiful papers and paper stacks and could not resist using other papers. Some of the different paper stacks that I used are "Country Road" by The Paper Studio, "The Rustic Stack" by DCWV and "Tradewinds" by DCWV as well as several Recollections value pack papers and a few single sheets of paper that I had in my stash for a long time. My Interpretation for this vertical paper bag mini album came from the YouTube "My Sister Scrappers" channel . Here are some photos of the project.
