Envelope for cards with lots of decoration

As you all know, I use a lot of roses on my cards, and this is a bit challenging when someone wants an envelope for the card. So I made ​​an envelope - box, which takes care of the decorations:

The envelope opens and closes with hook and loop:



The envelope is about 3 cm deep, and even large roses fit:

I'm sorry that some of the pictures are a little blurry, but I blame it on the weather, which is cloudy and gray...

A purple card....

Well, it has been a while since my last purple card, and here is an other one:

Some roses... purple, of course, and in the same shade as the velvet ribbon and the bottom layer of the bazzill::



The picture is printed on canvas, and the frame is made with Spellbinders:

I 've made a gift box of cardboard, Bazzill and design papers from Pion Design, called "Roses":

Close-up of the lid, I have used roses and ribbon from Wild Orhid and kalas from Prima. The butterfly is from Kort & Godt:

On the sides of the box I have used the design paper "Pink Ornament" also from Pion Design:

The lid closes with a hidden magnet inside the flap:

Fore!!!

I know it has been a bit quiet from me here on the blog lately, and that's not because I have not made ​​cards: I have been lifting myself, and then you have already seen the cards before. It's really funny when people orders copies of some of the cards I already have published in here, that must mean they like my cards :o)

This time I have made ​​a greeting card for a guy who spends most of his summer on the golf course:

And this stamped image from Papermania was just perfect. And I have painted it with H2O to keep the vintage look:

Guest Designer for Wednesday's Creative Inspirations

I was so lucky to be asked if I would be guest designer at Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge Blog, and this week you can see my card as inspiration for this weeks theme which is:

Around the World

My first thought was that nothing can take you as fast around the world as books can do, and then it was natural to choose this image from Lili of the Valley.

The design paper is from Pion Design, the Fairytale of Spring-collection

Close-up of the text-panel:

The stamped image is coloured with promarkers, and the frame around it is cut out with Spellbinders:

Ribbon, lace, a rose, rosebuds and a charm:

"Everybody" knows that I love roses on my cards, lots of roses...:

Coffee break out in the open

Sometimes I can search for hours for the right image based on how I want the card to end up when it's finished, without finding the one I want to use...

So this time I ended up drawing my own design.

I drew, scanned, edited and printed out on Letraset-paper, and finally I colored it with Promarkers.

*

So here it is, the finished card, quite CAS to be me, but it's a card for a guy

Must admit; I had my husband and my dog ​​in mind when I drew this:
