World Card Day Project

This was for World Card Day (late post): I used the kit to make 3 boxes (mix and match lids) and used SU Note cards (which comes with envelopes). After making 15 cards (5 for each box), there was some designer paper left over . This project was inspired by Tami after her open house event. (see her blog at http://www.tamiwadellcreates.blogspot.com/)

Supplies:

Stamp: Wow Flowers

CS: Flower Power Card Elements kit

Ink: Rose Red, Old Olive

Accys: Note Cards, Dimensionals, all other accys are from Flower Power Card Elements kit

Asian Wedding Favors

I just remembered I had a photo of these wedding favors made for a friend. The wedding was a couple years ago but I thought it would still go great with the invitation posted below. The wedding couple name and date is printed in the back of the box. Yes, we made a couple hundred of these things in a short amount of time! (The finished box size is 2 x 3-1/2 and can be filled with sweets. This box is made by using 1/2 sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 paper. It's called a 2-4-6-8 box. They turned out so great! Again, my favorite color!

Supplies used:

• Stamp: Double Happiness (Asian Image)
• Card Stock: SU Real Red
• Ink: Versamark
• Accys: Notch Punch, SU Gold Embossing Powder, Gold cord (retired)

He is the handsomest Frankenstein ever. I CASED him from a fellow SU Demonstrator who participated in a recent swap (Olive: you're the best!).
