Card in a Box - We Make a Great Pair!

Hi all! I'm logging in after a long time. Let me share my recent work with you all.

This box card is one of my favorite. It was made for a lovely couple who love beach. This box can be fold and mailed easily just like any other standard greeting card. Isn't interesting? I really enjoyed decorating this box! I adhered some stamped images from Inkadinkado - Coastal Beach.

I'm entering this card in Simon Says Stamp challenge - Anything Goes

Easel Beach Card

Hi friends! Life is so busy being a full-time stay-at-home mom. My 2 year old has just started going to play school and other responsibilities ate up my time. I was in a very comfortable routine and couldn’t devote time to update my blog. Anyways, I’m back with another beach card requested by a customer.

This is an easel card and I've added a flip flop, quilled bucket and starfish as an embellishment. I’ve created my own waves stencil using sticky notes and inked up with distress ink. I'm entering this card in the following challenges: Make it Monday - Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp - Anything goes with Pearls.

Double Side Step Beach Card

Hi there!! Long time no blogging in here! I was on a short vacation and it feels great to be back. I have missed some of my favorite craft challenges for the past few months. Well, it's time to reactivate my creative mojo!

Here is my recent creation for a lovely couple on their wedding anniversary. I made this beach themed anniversary card for my customer. It's a double side step card with a small fold card on it.

  

I hand drew the palm tree leaves, trunk, coconuts and the ladies hat on a kraft cardstock, colored and fuzzy cut them. I then traced the island and inked the edge with chalk brown ink. The hammock is hand drawn on a striped patterned paper DCWV -The Basic Stack paper pad . I punched out the sun using my circle punch and colored to give a little sun shade. The sentiment from Penny Black - Loads of Love was stamped on bottom right of the step card with a little heart shape in front. Added some glossy accent to the cute little heart, sun, coconut and hat.

To fill the gap between the two palm trees I decided to make a small fold card with a background. On front of the card, I used a paper from Recollections paper pad- All Seasons which has clouds and I believe it was the perfect choice for the background. On the inside card I stamped the sentiment using Hero Arts - Fanciful Swirl Alphabet clear stamps. Added faux stitching to create a border around the sentiment.

That's how I made this step card and I'm so glad my customer loved it so much since he had to wait so long to get this card. I have to thank him for having me do this card for his wedding anniversary.
