Variation on original card in a box

I made another card in a box with just a slight variation.  I used a different flower, "Daisy Patch" by Heartfelt Creations, and different leaves, "Leafy Branch" by Taylored Expressions.

70th Birthday

A friend is turning 70 in a few days, so I had to make her a card to mark the occasion.


The "Happy" is from My Favorite Things.  The numbers are from PaperTrey.


On the inside, the "enjoy" is from Penny Black; the present is from Sizzix; and all the other dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs:  "Whiskers the Cat," "Lorna Label Pop Up," and "Agatha Edges."

Big Mouth Cat

I wanted to use a new stamp set for my vet's birthday along with another cat friend's birthday.



This is Art Impressions' "Cat Big Mouth" - they have a series of "Big Mouth" characters.  I used the following Copic markers:  B32, V17, V25, Y02, C1, E00 and E37.  I used the smallest "Cross Stitch Oval" from My Favorite Things to die cut the sentiment (which is part of the stamp set).



On the inside I just used the "Happy Birthday Words" die from Paper Smooches.

Graduation Card in a Box

My neighbor asked me to make a graduation card for her granddaughter.  She gave me her granddaughter's high school photo as well as a childhood photo, and she also gave me the graduation announcement, from which I was able to use the high school crest.  I wasn't sure how to incorporate everything into a card until I thought about a Card in a Box.


I used the basic card in a box format.  The "Class of" and the graduation cap are from Taylored Expressions.  The diploma is from "Graduation Accents," the numbers are from "Bright Lights Numbers & Symbols"and the stars are "Stacking Stars," all from My Favorite Things.
