Wedding Card Box

Hi everyone! Darlene here ….

I wanted to share this beautiful card box I made for my daughter's wedding last week. There is a lot of inspiration on Pinterest if you are interested on creating a project like this. I created the beautiful flowers using a Martha Stewart 4 Leaf Clover punch. Each flower is made from 3 clovers with the stems cut off. I distressed the petals using Tim Holtz Distress Inks- Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Vintage Photo. I then layered the 3 clovers on top of one another using hot glue and embellished the center with a decorative pearl. Fold up the edges of each petal to make it look more realistic. After punching several leaves, I scored the center of each one and used some Walnut Stain along the edges. I punched a scallop edge using one of my punches to outline each pennant in kraft color cardstock. Going through my stash I found the perfect color chipboard letters to add to my pennant. I punched two holes at the top of each pennant and fed the twine through each hole.

For a little detail, I added a couple of tags to the handle one says, "I DO" and is distressed with Walnut Stain, Black Soot and Faded Jeans distress inks. The "getting hitched" tag is a stamp from Avery Elle's Home Sweet Home Stamp Set.

Monster Mash Blog Hop

WELCOME TO DAY 2 OF THE MONSTER MASH BLOG HOP!

I was working in the lab, late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster from his slab, began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash, he did the monster mash

It was a graveyard smash!

Let's get this Monster Party started!

Hey Everyone,  Darlene Here!  

I love using these printer's trays for home decor! Certainly not an original idea, but if you're thinking of creating one I encourage you to visit Pinterest for tons of inspiration.  I had a printer's tray so all I needed was to decide which holiday I wanted to showcase. This tray measures approximately 10.25" x 12.25" and has a handle which makes it perfect for hanging. It was a wonderful way to use up some of my scraps and single sticker items that I have been holding on to for years. This project is the perfect home decor for any holiday, special event or gift giving. The possibilities are endless!

I started by choosing my papers along with stickers and embellishments. Determine the paper size for each slot and add your embellishments and stickers. It was really that easy!

Thanks for stopping by today and Up next is the lovely and talented
