Card Box

This is a new product from CTMH, I made this particular box for Nanny's 90th Birthday. I am going to put Christmas cards in here for her to mail out this holiday season.

Step 1-Card Box ($4.95- Z1647) you can leave white, color with ink or do like I did and mix Ink Re-inker (Vineyard Berry) in Create a Shade Pearl Paint ($2.95 - Z1039). It dried really fast.

Step 2- While your box is drying cut your paper to cover the box. You'll need to cut the paper just a tad smaller so the box shows underneth. Here are the box diminshions: The sides measure 4 1/2" x 2 3/8" cut 2
Top & Bottom 6 1/2 x4 1/2" cut 2 if you want to decorate the inside you'll need to cut one for the lid & then the bottom. Back 6 1/2 x 2 1/4 cut 2
Front Flap 6 1/2 x1 1/8" cut 1

Step 3- adhere your paper to your box & embellish accordingly. I used the Accent Collection Peweter ($4.95 - Z1487), Color Ready Alphabets ($3.95 - X5749) and Heirloom Assortment ($5.95 - Z1635) and Opaques Adhesive Gems Mocha ($2.95 Z1336).

Within an hour I had created a completed gift

25 years

Yesterday was a very proud day! My sister and her husband celebrated their 25th Anniversary. I can honestly say it has not always been bliss, but they have worked thru adversity, sadness and good times to reach this mile stone! So here's the card I sent to celebrate their day! She also celebrated her 44th birthday! Happy birthday sis.

Tis the Sesaon

Like it or not, time is getting away from me. It is already Auguts & and Christmas is 4 mo & roughly 3 weeks away. Sooner than that is Nanny's 90th birthday. She is Frank's Maternal Grandmother & for her birthday we were advised no gifts, so I figured I'd be practical & make her Christmas cards for her or at least some of them anyway. I figured 25 would be a nice number, so I got 8 completed this weekend & have till Sept 17th to complete the project.
My roommate at convention, Paula, had a great idea - she contacted all her friends & family & asked each of them to send her sister a birthday card for her 50th birthday & I think I will ask all of you to do the same. I think it would be awesome if Nanny got 90 cards for her 90th birthday. Food for thought.
