Congratulations & Sympathy Card

It's been a quite hectic these past weeks. One weekend, a wonderful wedding and then another weekend a sad funeral for a dear friend. This first card is for a wedding. The embossed frame is from SU called Framed Tulips.  The mulberry calla lilies are from Wild Orchid Company. I had some silk leaves in my stash which worked great for this bouquet.  A vanilla seam binding bow wraps the bouquet. Stamped "Congratulations" is from SU Warmest Regards set.

Gable Long Life Favors

This is a REALLY quick favor that was made to celebrate a 95th Birthday - can you just imagine 95 years old?  It is quite a milestone.  35 gable boxes were cut out using SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot computer program) and my Silhouette Machine as the cutter. These gable boxes came together with just one area that needed sticky tape. Now that is what I call fast!The image on the side of the box is a SVG cut file from Scrappedlives.nl which can be found here. Joann Fabric Red card stock, Michael's basic black card stock and Gold card stock from Kelly Papers used. Finished box size is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1-3/4".

Here's the tag up close: The tag is a SVGcut file (so it can be size perfectly)  1" punch, and 1-1/8" punch used. Tie with a gold cord.

The flip side of the tag was printed, then punched.

I found these Long Life Kanji stickers in my stash and they worked out well for this project.

 Open the box to reveal: CHOCOLATES!!!! Of course.................
