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.

What I've been making....

What have I been up to?  I've been having fun in my craft room...

The first set of photos is from the Tim Holtz Chronical's Journal kit....yes, a Kit! it's great and I had so much fun putting it together.  There is lot's of space to add to it, so I did.  I added pockets and elements and whatnots.

This is the card that I made for my niece and her bride for their wedding and the box that I made for it, since it was too dimensional to fit in a normal envelope.  

This is the mixed media canvas gift that I made for the newly weds.  The idea was the first initial of each of their first names and the large initial of their last name.  But, I found out too late that my niece decided to take her bride's last name...ah well.  I bought the box below the photo at Michael's to put the gift in with the idea that they could later use it to store their wedding cards.

My loving husband bought me a Cricut Explore Air for my birthday!  I've been experimenting with it.  This is a very intricate, print then cut doily....came out awesome!

I went a little crazy with the purse shaped gift bags and turned them into Halloween themed treat bags using Graphic 45 paper.  I forget the name of the paper stack, but I just love it.  These are hanging on my display board in my classroom.

That's it for now, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more of.....well everything!
