Wedding Book Card

I don't make cards to sell, but now and again I will make a special card if asked for by a friend. And every time I say that's the last one, which is what I said about the hippy card, but I got asked again, so here it is ...

Hand cut filigree

 Paper - K & Company - Classic Bailey, Stripes, Ivory small floral, apart from the spine which was piece of paper I found in my "scrap" box.
Heart dies - Spellbinders Nestabilities. Filigree was hand cut, the pattern sourced from the internet.
Clasp - Tim Holtz Grunge paper inked with his Antique linen ink pad, hand stitched. The clasp is a Cameo button (shank removed) with Basic Grey magnetic snaps.
Sentiments - front and inside of card were computer generated, with a lace background sourced from the internet and printed on hessian textured card.
Wedding photos - sourced form Pinterest, and printed on pearl finished photo paper.

Thank you for looking. Take care & Keep smiling

Steamer Trunk Gift Box

Finally got my crafting head on and came up with this, a steamer trunk gift box. My Dad went to Germany for a holiday, and bought back a small Stein jug to give to our friend Gillian, but it didn't have a box so my Dad asked if I'd make one. And to keep in the holiday/travelling spirit thought this was appropriate...

The "leather" work was made with Tim Holtz' Grunge paper and stained with his Vintage Photo ink pad and then hand stitched. The corners were cut from Nestabilities circle dies. The travel stickers were from Cavellini & Co. And the interior was fully lined with velvet paper. Oh and the box was made with mounting board, which was just under 2mm thick. Thank you for visiting and taking a peek.

Take care and keep smiling :o)
