Card in a Box: Best Day Ever!

Aaron made this card in a box for a dear friend.   Aaron enjoys the card in a box because she can be so very creative.  And, yes, she is creative.  She decided to emboss the panels and flaps of the box instead of using designer paper.  I love the look!

Sympathy: Sharing in Your Sorrow

I absolutely love how this card went together.  I seldom use River Rock, but it really accented the Night of Navy.  The tulip frame folder makes the card simple, yet elegant.

Birthday: Embossed Squares

This is a fun card.  Each rectangle is 1 1/4" x 1 1/2", but I still needed the rectangular piece at the bottom.  I used the buttons to make the rectangular piece as part of the design.  The colors are not true, but I could not get the computer to "blue" the colors.

Basket for Eggs

This month's challenge was to create something 3D.  Since I have four hens, I often have more eggs than I can eat.

The box is 4"x4"x4", but I could have made it 3" tall. I cut an egg carton to fit into the box and cushion the eggs.

Birthday: Screen Divider for 80th Birthday

My daughter-in-law's grandmother is celebrating her 80th birthday soon.  I love, love, love the colors of this card.  I have seen some of the screen divider cards on Pinterest, but they all seemed so busy.  I chose to simplify three of the panels, allowing me to concentrate on just one panel.  I love how this turned out!
