COMMISSION# 12

HPJ-2014-50: Time To Celebrate
Here's another card with a box. It measures 4" x 3/4" x 7" when closed.

I love how this project turned out. You've seen my previous creations using the same papers. Though the paper collection was not Christmas-themed, it was very versatile. You can actually use it for so many different themes. I especially liked using it for my vintage Christmas cards. Now I only have a few pieces left from the pack. I wish I have another set. It would really be awesome.

By the way, this card was commissioned by my cousin and it was to have hearts, an 'I love you' and the name of the recipient somewhere. 

I had the red stamens from last year and when I looked through my stash of wooden embellishments I found a heart frame among them. I immediately thought about winding the stamens into the frame making a heart-shaped wreath and that was what I did. It looks really beautiful, I must say. The red color of the stamens accentuated the green and white background.

I stamped a banner from the Bundle of Joy stamp set on a piece of patterned paper and cut out the image. I then wrote the sentiment on it.

The recipient's name and the 'I love you' are yet to show themselves. Heh. The name was stamped on a small tag that went below the box inside the card. I stamped the 'I love you' on the inside of the box. I made a shining heart using Stickles to symbolize love (There's another heart!). Now the conditions are all met. Woohoo! Don't you find it lovely? I really really love it. I'd want to keep it, but it should go to the person it is supposed to go to. [sigh].

The next set of cards is a collection of tent cards. It was my first time making them and it was really fun. I was able to put my horde of Christmas 3D stickers to pretty good use. I thought of making some with circle windows, but there would be more work since I don't have circle dies. I have to cut the windows and the frames using a circle cutter. Phooey. One day I will have those dies in my hands!

The finished cards were small at 4 1/4" all around, but they are such pretty things. I have decided to make them for my former colleagues as well.
