Thank you card and Memory box

Alright, hopefully this project has been worth the wait! I have been such a slacker on posting...I know! So while my husband was in pharmacy school his parents AKA my parents because we don't differentiate between inlaws, let us live with them to save money. We are so grateful they put up with us through these years! I made this memory box aka explosion box that contains pictures of my kids with Grandma and Grandpa and special memories they shared while living with them. you can't see the bottom layer which is ok because I have not finished it yet, but it will contain pictures of the graduation to complete the memories of living with them. I gave this to them on graduation. I also made them a thank you card that expressed our graditude to them. The card size measures 5x5 and the stamp sets used were "Baroque Motifs" and "Always" by stampin up.

Fathers Day Card

I made this card for my card group and also of course for dads and grandpa. This card was a bit of a challenge for me as I am not used to making guy cards. I got the new "Campout" cricut cartridge which I was exited to use and inspired this card.

Thank you card

This card was made for my husbands boss as it was going to be my husbands last day of interning . Graduation is in two weeks! Yes I am counting! This card was so much fun to make. This was a fun color combo to use. I used my new cuttlebug embossing plate "birds and swirls" that I ordered online because you can't find it in any store yet. I embossed it on blue cardstock and than sanded it to add extra detail. I used the "Always" stamp set from stampin up (bird and plants) and the" Lots of thoughts" set from stampin up (many thanks).

Graduation Announcement

It's done. Finnally! This has probably been the most exciting and tedious project I have done so far! Exciting because my husband is graduating from pharmacy school. Yea! Tedious because I had to make 45 of these announcements! Now for the details. The white cardstock measurement is 5"x11" scored at 3" and than at 8" The blue inside mat measures 5"x9" and is scored at 4" The inside mat with the info is 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" The seal with the school logo on it was printed on vellum and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Very cool technique! The tie on the outside of the announcement was also embossed and I used the linen backround stamp from stampin up (hard to see the details on this picture). The pocket measures 1 3/4"x 2 1/4" scored each edge at 1/4".

Birthday gift set

This was a fun one to make. I made this for my friend Marin who's as crazy crafty as I am. I made this for her birthday with her favorite candy bars which inspired my color scheme. The candy box measurements are 1 3/4''x 5'' I posted the template for this box with different measurements in a previous post. Inside the gift envelope is a scallop nestabilities set. I took a 12x12 piece of card stock and folded it in thirds and embellished the outside. The stamp set used for the candy box is a stampin up set call "Lots of thoughts" and the "for you" stamp is from an acrylic set from Joanns.
