White Elegance - Silhouette Box and Card

Hi Everyone

I have been looking at some very pretty cards on Pinterest which have been made completely with white cardstock.  They look so very elegant that I decided to make one myself - easy right?  No stressing over matching papers!  I need a thank you card for a friend, and I also have a little gift for her, so I made a box as well.  Here first of all is the box.

This Silhouette Box is a brand new file released by Kelleigh Ratzlaff and available at The Digichick.  After cutting out the file with my Cameo, it was super easy to put together and embellish with flowers and leaves (files from the Silhouette online store), butterflies (MS punch) and a few 'pearls'.

Here's a view of the box from the side - such elegant lines.

Here is the card that I made to go with it.

The background of the card was embossed with a sizzix folder, the window, shutters and window box are all from dies by Poppystamps.

All the embellishments are punches - flowers (Marvy), leaves (McGill) and butterfly (MS).  Once again I add ed a few pearls to give it a little more dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today.

3D Wedding Gazebo Card

Hi Everyone!  Finally back to some serious crafting after a break for kitchen remodels, friends visiting from the UK (who,we had a blast with, and are sad they are gone), visits to the emergency vets with my dog (fingers crossed on a second round of antibiotics) - life - PHEW!

My project for today is a 3d wedding card - well, it's not really a card but that is what I intend to use it for.  This file is from the Silhouette online store and is called "Lantern Wedding Couple.'  This card is for a couple of my husbands co-workers who got married in July and are having a celebration later this month.

The file comes in 5 pieces, which I cut from white card stock using my Cameo.  I ran all the pieces (except the 'couple') through my Sizzzix machine using a swirl embossing folder.  Here is a closer look at the embossed roof.

I decided to add a little colour with some vines (also a Silhouette file), and pink flowers (EK Success flower punch).  I fixed the vine in place with some glue dots and added a touch of pink stickles in the center of each flower.

I finished it off by generating a sentiment on my computer, and mounting it on dimensional pop-dots.

Sadly I won't be attending the celebration, but I really hope that they like it.

Thanks for stopping by.
