Simple Sentiments Box

I made another set of Simple Sentiments.  This time it was a box I am donating for an auction taking place soon.

I included several different greetings as well a no greeting one.  Thanks so Much, Just a Note, Thinking of You, Hello, and no greeting.

The graphics and frames from the The Graphics Fairy.

This set features my photos from my photo calendars.  They have been trimmed from the calendar sheets and adhered to the card front above the greeting/graphic. A great re use idea.

O Holy Night Card Set

This set of card was made with a photo I took of the nativity set up in my office.   I created a purple gradient background onto which I placed a green frame.  Into the frame I inserted my photo.  I added the words O HOLY NIGHT in a ivory color.  It was printed on card stock and then I trimmed it.  I created a frame in a deep purple color onto an ivory card.  The nativity panel was adhered in the frame.


This set was packaged in a 6x6 clear box with a custom card stock spacer. 

Burgundy Star Peace Card Set

This set of cards was created with digital graphics from Aria Sparkles and printed. I created a gradient background onto which the word was placed near the bottom.  I placed the star on the left tucking one point of the star into the word. The panel was trimmed.  I created a burgundy frame and printed it on Astroparche Natural card stock.  The panel was adhered to the card front aligned into the frame.


This set will be donated to an auction. They have been packaged in a 6x6 clear box with a custom spacer.

This was one of the projects I took to my sister's on the long weekend.  I had a great visit with her. 

"Winter Glory" Card Set

These Christmas cards were created with laser printed panel cards of this winter landscape which I was given. They needed to be refurbished and re-purposed to be appreciated.  I decided to make them into cards for the Christmas season.  I cut down the panels leaving all the edges straight. Once I had the dimensions I create a grey rectangle leaving a small border from the edge of the image.  I added a greeting in the bottom right hand corner. This was printed on white card stock.  Once printed, the image was adhered to the card front.  An insert was added inside with the sentiment.  I think they turned out really nice.

Again, these are packaged in a clear box in a set of 20. They will be donated to the auction in the fall.

Rusty Star Wreath Card Set

This is another set of cards for the auction.

This is a wreath is my own design.  I have printed it in a warm dark green.  I have placed rusty stars onto it.  I added a great greeting in several fonts in the same colors in the wreath.  I added a great organza ribbon bow in a warm copper color.

The stars were diecut with the Sizzix Stars#2 die from copper card stock.

Yet, again in a clear box.

Snow Angel Card Set

Another set of Christmas cards for the auction.  I started with a photo I took of a vintage snow angel Christmas decoration.  I added a night sky in warm tones then layered over it a texture background of falling snow that I designed. I added a snowbank on the bottom of the card with the "Peaceful Wishes" greeting layered over it.  I printed this onto ivory card stock.  I then added a matte gold star die cut with the Sizzix die.  This was added to the card front with a glue dot to add just a wee bit of dimension. Super happy with this one!





I then packaged the set of 20 cards in a clear square box.  I added a spacer just like the retail industry does which worked out really well. The box was purchased from a packaging store.

This looks great.

Ornament Trio Card Set

I made a set of these cards for a donation to an auction happening soon.  I made this set last year which proved popular.

I created the boughs from a real photograph of pine branch.  I drew the ornaments, the hangers, and the snow background.  The centre Love was printed, punched and mounted with 3D foam tape to add dimension.


The set contained 20 cards in a really nice clear box.  I made a spacer just like the retail industry does which works really well.  The box was purchased from a packaging store.

This looks great.

Card - Watercolor Ornament

This card is a single layered embellished card.  I created the branch digitally from a photo a took a while ago.  I drew the ornament and filled it with a digital scan of some watercolors I did a couple of years ago in a turquoise and teal color scheme. I left the centre open so I could highlight this silver sequin with stars in the centre.  It is held in place with 2 tiny silver brads.  I color printed the greeting on the front and the sentiment on the insert.  Here's a similar set of cards.

Here's the box I put together for a silent auction later this month.  I thought it looked quite professional.
