Happy Friday, everyone! I have a special little project today, courtesy of my upline, Pennie! She came up with a cute little card holder box, so I thought it would fun to make one too, using the sketch from Stamp, Ink Paper:
So here we go:
The cardstock for the holder needs to be 6x12, and the only 12x12 CS I had was some textured Very Vanilla….which was perfect, because I wanted to use my favorite Pretty Petals DSP! I covered the top flap and bottom portion with some coordinating patterns, then used Flower Patch for my Calypso Coral flower and Mint Macaron for the leaves. All Boxed Up provided just the right sentiment, diecut with the banner from the Circle Card thinlet! The black belly band tucks up underneath the circular element, holding it all together:
This is just the right size in which to tuck a few cards & envelopes for a nice little gift! Pennie said I can share the pattern, so if you’d like to have it, let me know. (Be sure to include your email, as I cannot respond to anonymous comments!) Thanks for popping by today!
Cassidy said she was imitating Grampy, reading the newspaper:
Silly girl!
