31 Days of Crafting - Day Thirty-One - BIG Birthday Box Card!!

WOW, I made it!  Every year I hope to finish this month exactly how I want to and there is always a hiccup!  This year I am super proud of my final project to share, a GIANT birthday box card that was a custom order.  There was a LOT of work involved in this project, lots of layers and test projects to get it just right.  In the end though, I love how it turned out!!

This card is too sparkly, said NO ONE EVER!!

I mean, really.  I love custom jobs because they make magic happen.

When the card is flattened, it looks like this:

The large purple panel is for the personal message.

This is how the card looked all full of tickets.  This was possibly one of my favorite projects to make, EVER!!!

Shake It Out, Shake It Out

It's one of those crazed weeks the past few days and I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to get much of anything done.

This is a birthday card I made for my brother's girlfriend.  She looooooves cupcakes.  It's so fun to make a custom card, creating your own pattern as you go along.

The pattern was created by copying various coloring pages.  Each layer is separate and was glued together.

You can really see all the sparkly and spangly goodies in this one.

And here's the homemade easel I created.  This was fun but a challenge.  I'll have to try and make another one before I forget how.  LOL.
