Marry Me an Easel Card

Good Afternoon!

Today I have finished my second of three Wedding Cards that I need to complete before November.  This time I made an Easel Card using the Saturated Canary Digital "Marry Me".  I made it for a very good friend of my daughter's who is getting married this weekend.  The bride's colors are black and white so I decided to use white and greys for her card.  I also added just a touch of red and green for the flowers and leaves in the bouquet.  I really love how it turned out...

Hope you like it too...

Marry Me - Bridal Shower Drawer Box

Good Morning Everyone!

I have three Weddings and a Bridal Shower to attend between now and November, so I'm finally starting to make the cards for them.  The first one I completed is for my brothers fiance's Bridal Shower.  It is a Drawer Box with an Easel Card on the top.  I'm going to put little marriage inspiration sayings in each drawer (there are four drawers) along with a gift card in each.  I used a tutorial from the LaLa Land Blog by Nicole Zarra to make the box.  You can find the tutorial HERE.

I have used a Saturated Canary Digital called Marry Me and this project fits the requirements for the Saturated Canary Challenge #26...B's.  I needed to use at least two items that starts with B...my items are Bride, Butterflies, Box and Bows.

Here it is!  I hope you like it...

Miss Anya Round Easel Box

Good Evening Everyone!

Today I've finally finished a cute little round gift box with an easel card on the top.  The top comes off so you can put the gift inside.  I saw the idea on the LaLa Land blog awhile back but couldn't find a pattern so I made my own using chipboard and Spellbinders Dies. It took awhile for me to figure out how to make it all fit properly but finally...here it is...

Easel Box Card

Today I have been playing with my blog header for hours.  I've created two different headers, tried them both out and decided on this one.  I created it using a blog header template from a digital scrapbook web site called Scrap Girls www.scrapgirls.com.  I combined pieces from two different template kits...Blog Banner Layout Template Centered and Embrace both by Keri Schueller.  I used a digital paper pack from Sweet Shoppe Designs www.sweetshoppedesigns.com called You Make Me All I Was Ment To Be by Lauren Grien. 

Now for my post of the day...I've seen a few different Easel Box Cards while viewing other blogs and really liked them.  I finally found "how to" instructions on Joanie McDonald's web site joaniscardsmadebyhand.blogspot.com.

I love how it's an Easel Card (one of my favorite cards to make) on top of a drawer/box.  I made this for my niece's 19th birthday and wanted to add a little something inside the drawer/box.  I cut a couple fancy squares, added a Birthday Sentiment, decorated with a cute flower that I made and stamped/colored a swirly corner.  She loved it! (Of course I also added a little special something $$$ that you don't see in the pictures).

I used another Saturated Canary Digital on this project...I love, love, love using them on my cards.  They are great because I can re-size them to fit any project I am working on and they are so darn cute.  I've used them for all kinds of projects...Bulletin Boards, Picture Frames, Presents and of course lots of cards.  Check them out at the Saturated Canary web site saturated-canary.myshopify.com.  I'm sure you will love them too!
