Card-Gift Combo, cont.

Howdy.  Thanks for coming back.  I have taken a few more photos of my Card-Gift Combo.  I just love these little 'packages' {smile}.  So, without further ado, here is some eye candy {wink}.

here is the back-side of the combo opened

I used the blue and green floral pattern paper from the Watercolor Wonderful DSP for the main pattern pieces.  I just love this collection of colors.  I used the green chevron stripes for my vertical piece.  I thought the mix of patterns compliment each other, without overpowering each other.  

I lined the inside of the drawer with the same green chevron stripe paper.  I also added a small piece of island indigo ruffle ribbon to the side of the drawer, as a pull.

here is a photo of the drawer partially pulled-out

I have a weakness for polka dots, so I used the light gray polka dot pattern paper for the cover focus piece.  I also matted the pattern paper with slate card stock, to help accent the gray.
I also love the softness of the seam binding, so I used it liberally {smile}.

Thank you so much to looking.  I'm off to make a few more Card-Gift Combo's, using some other beautifully pattern paper {smile}.

Wonderful You

Howdy!  I'm glad that you could stop by today and have a look around.  I really do love to paper craft, and being on different design teams actually gives me an excuse to be in my craft room.  I mean that I would already be in there, but now I have an legitimate reason. (smile)

The talented Jennifer, is the creator of this week's sketch over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday.  And this week's sketch is easy to work with.  I had fun making  this card.  Here is Jennifer's sketch:

I am a big fan of using what you have.  I'm also a fan of mix and match.  I believe all paper lines have potential to wow ya!  One of the requirements of playing along with Sketch Frenzy Friday, is that you use Stampin' Up!products.  So, in my usual fashion, I mix and matched different DSP collections.  I really loved the polka dot pattern paper from Berry Blossoms DSP.  And the loved the large yellow medions from the Flirtatious DSP.  So, I used scrap pieces of each.  There is a beautifully-font, word stamp set from the new occasions mini catalog: Loving Thoughts.  So, I combined the three and here is what I came up with:

I used some of the new bakers twine and tied a button to the bow.  I added a left over crochet flower and yellow rhinestone brad.  Elegantly simply.  Now, head over to Tammy F.'s blog, and continue with the blog hop.
