Hi there everyone.
Just wanted to share this post today to show you a small gift of note cards I gave to a special friend going through chemo treatments. All the cards are blank inside except for touches of the fronts.
I started by making a box (which I intended to be a my prototype) out of retired crushed curry card stock. I ran out of time due some personal family matters, so now what to do... no time left...
I lined the inside with and out with new "Paisley Petal" DSP. Of course it's not my first choice to have a curry colored box, but I had no other options.
I made to slots with the slot punch and tied closed with WW grosgrain ribbon.
I also added a little sentiment on the top and another big flower made with the "Fun Flowers" die and some PTI felt. Another tag tied on with hemp to a large metal brad through the center of the flower, and done.
Now all I had to do was filled it with handmade note cards made with love.
Many of the note cards are cards I've made and posted previously on my blog. If you look close the newest card I made is the lattern: this one I TOTALLY CASED from my upline Nance Leedy at Canopy Crafts, who has unlimited talent as designer on many blogs. To me she is just the best ever up-line and mentor.
Well I hope you like my little gift box, my friend sure did.

Di, what a lovely idea for someone we both know. I'm sure she will appreciate all your love that went into making these items. I certainly recognize some of those cards.
Great job, great idea! And I know what you mean about running out of time, we always "short-change" ourselves don't we.
Hugs,
