Card Sets by Christine and an International Giveaway

Please give Christine a warm welcome on the blog today! She has created an adorable card set sure to make anyone happy. Take it away Christine…
I love giving sets of cards as gifts and I like when I have a cute box to put them in.  This Stationary Box is the perfect solution.  It’s very easy to put together and you can decorate it for any occasion.  I used the Sweet Girl paper collection to cut it out, and the Layered Flowers Set 2 to decorate the front.

The box doesn’t have a handle to cut out so I decided to make my own from washi tape.  There are 3 different patterns in the Sweet Girl collection and I chose the light yellow one.  To make the handle I tore off a long piece probably about 20 inches long and did my best to keep it laying down on my desk, sticky side up.  Then I took another piece approximately the same length and stuck to the other piece so they were back to back.  The washi tape makes a really cute little handle that is strong but flexible and also matches perfectly.  After the handle was put together, I folded back the edge on both ends, punched a hole in these double layered ends with a 1/16 inch hole punch and then put a brad through the holes.  I also prepunched holes in the sides of the box so that the brads are secure inside.

Here is a closeup of the Layered Flowers.  I used some foam adhesive under some of the layers to get them dimension.  I really love the way they turned out.  I know these are files that I will be using over and over again.
Here is a card that I made to go along with the set.  The box will hold many other cards plus envelopes.  I’ll have to get busy to fill it up.  For my card, I used the 3×4 Quote Cards as the focal point.  I use these cards in my Project Life layouts but I wanted to challenge myself to use them in a different way.  I really like that it makes a perfect background for the card’s sentiment.  (Please excuse the spots on my card.  My digital camera needs to be cleaned.)
Thanks for stopping by.  I’ll be posting more pictures of my project on my blog here.

Butterfly Kisses by Corri

Today we are bringing you an adorable project by Corri…

I love the new bracket shaped card that Lori just added to the shop.

It has such an elegant feel and this lace damask paper from the Echo Park- Sweet Girl Collection is a perfect match.   I cut a scallop circle and flag label  from this set and two butterflies.  I embossed the pink one with my Cuttlebug D’vine Swirls folder and added some clear glitter to the turquoise one.  Applying glue to the center of the butterfly only, allow the wings to be lifted for added dimension.

The bracket flap treat box compliments the card perfectly and makes this into an adorable gift set.

I added some ribbon, a rosette, and a die cut flower sticker from the Sweet Girl Collection.

Flip Swing Cards by Christine

These cards are one of my favorite products that Lori has created and Christine has done such a great job personalizing them. LOVE these Christine!  lisa
Lots of oohs, and aahs occur when I showed these cards to friends.  The Swing Flip cards are just adorable and oh, so much fun.

Just pull the sides and the card opens to reveal the inside and the backside of the front panel.  Lori has created these great card files in many different panel shapes.  Everything from scalloped circles to squares to stars.

Here is another look at the card from a different angle.  I used papers and pretty stickers from the brand new collection Sweet Girl by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  The sentiment Happy Birthday came from another card file by Lori called, Happy Birthday card set.

I also made a fun flip card for a boy using the brand new paper collection, All About A Boy, by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  This particular flip card file also includes the panel shapes that I used to cut the patterned paper from.

Sorry that the card looks a little warped.  These kinds of cards are little hard to keep standing for photographs.  This photograph shows what the inside of the boy card looks like when pulled apart.

 I added a little washi tape on the panels.  Yes, new washi tape from Echo Park!!  Love it!!  The next photograph shows the back of the card.  I used some of the Echo Park matching cardstock paper to create the card base.  It is a double sided paper with orange on one side and red on the other.

I used this  card kit and stamped my sentiment on this banner.

This card comes with three options for the sentiment…Mom, Dad and I (heart) U.

Thank You Card by Natalie

Today we have a beautiful Thank You card by Natalie…
The other day I was in need of a thank you cards for some cute neighbors.  They needed to be signed by a group of girls, so they needed to be big enough to hold lots of comments.  So I made these cute mini albums which turned out to be the perfect thank yous.
I used Lori’s mini album with the round end found here.  I love that it comes with files for all the middle pages, but a little binding piece and a cover for the front.  I cut it out with Echo Park‘s For the Record 2, which had the perfect embellishments to cover the front and back pages.  I filled them full of blank pages and handed out each page to all the girls who were writing notes, then took all them and bound it into a cute book.  I hope that these become a treasure for the recipients of the books and know how much we love them!
