Ephemera's Vintage Garden - Loving Sweetness - Project #2

Hello, my friends!

I'm back today to share another project using the beautiful  "Loving Sweetness" kit 
from Ephemera's Vintage Garden
  You can find it HERE.

This time I decided to make some cards.

What a fun project this was!

I printed out all of the journal pages, trimmed them down, then distressed and inked the edges.
I matted them with cardstock before adhering them to the black card base.
There are so many pretty colours that work with these images, so I used several.
One side is border punched, along with two corners. 
I kept the cards clean to show off the lovely designs.




I used one of the tags for the inside of each card.
The perfect spot to write or stamp your greeting!


Using my Cricut, I created a box to hold my set of cards.
I decorated the front of the box to match the cards.


I made so many cards that the envelopes wouldn't fit in the box.
I just stacked them under the box and made a ribbon band to hold them together.


On the back of the box I adhered a pocket from the kit.
I inserted another one of the tags into the pocket.
If this is given as a gift, a note could be added on this tag.
If I keep this, I can use it to keep track of who I send these cards to.
I can also store some postage stamps in this pocket.
Here you can see that I embossed the entire box before assembling it.
It gives it a wonderful texture!


Here is what it looks like all together!

Papers: Recollections - Cardstock;
Cricut Cartridge: Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2;

Wow Nancy... you are a machine! Seriously, that is a lot of cards but aren't they gorgeous! (statement, not a question). I love the vintage, shabby chic-ness of these. So pretty!
