Pretty & Pink Card and Box Set

By Olga Heldwein
 

“Today I have a card in a box for you. I wanted to create something special for the upcoming wedding season in my family and I come up with this. As it is a special occasion card, I wanted to have special wrapping, and that’s why I went with a box instead of an envelope. In my opinion, this is a more elegant way to present those special cards.

The card and box are a perfect match. I used Portrait of a Lady Patterns and Solids papers here. I loved this combination of cream, pinks, and deep bottle green. It added a nice feeling to the project.

This card is not traditional at all. It has a nice floral composition (all elements were die cut from solid papers to have perfect color match) on a transparent background.

It appears that card has a green background because I locked a transparency between paper layers. Then I covered glue marks with nice pieces of paper from the other side. Greetings may be added separately or hidden in the small pocket inside. ~Olga Heldwein

Master Detective Pocket Card

By Nico Scrap

“Halloween, it’s right behind the corner, and we must be ready for a spooky party, right? I’ve loved this collection so much that I've decided to make a tri-fold card in pure Halloween style! On the outside, I’ve cut out an amazing frame with Dr. Watson, and on the inside some amazing pockets and tags where you can write something on them!” ~Nico Scrap
