I really liked these 2 projects we did. Since one of the promotions this month is all about paper, I focused on that. This first card is done using a template I found here. Note: It seems that SCS has pulled the template from their website. Since this template was not mine, I do not know where you might find it now. Sorry for the inconvenience. I cut my pattered paper into 6″ x 6″ and ran it through my my printer (to print on the “wrong” side). Cut out, score and fold. I had some sweet lace I had picked up somewhere and attached it to the bottom of the skirt. I used glue dots on the 3 panels to adhere the skirt to the card. I sponged the edges of the Very Vanilla card stock just a bit.
Next, I made this matchbook box, which I found on Kelly’s blog. Instead of using the DSP for the bottom of the box, I used a coordinating color of card stock. I wheeled Friendly Words onto white card stock in Chocolate Chip. Since SU! doesn’t sell the large cartridge in CC, I bought an uninked one and inked it up myself. I’ve used this wheel in CC many times, so it was worth it. Now, had I had that beautiful Sweet Slumber Specialty Paper, I would have made another box with it and wheeled the Nursery Letters for the band, and decorated for a baby. Can you just see some cute socks, etc. in this box as a baby gift? Well, the paper is still on sale, and I’m going to order it and show you! Click images to view larger.
