A whole lotta fun with PaperWorks Co May PaperCard Kit!

Oh I’m just bursting to show you my project today….but then I’m sad….because it’s my FINAL project for PWCO. Before I go ahead and share my project because it is SUPER picture heavy – I want to tell Peggy, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I have had an absolute blast designing for PaperWorks Co. this past 6 months. It went by wayyyyyy too fast! All the girls are amazing and inspiring. It’s been so easy because PWCO carries all my favorite things so I know I won’t be a stranger! I’ll definately be back to play in the fun challenges and to keep in touch. Ok, before the waterworks start - Let me show you what I made using the May PaperCard Kit!!!

Ok, even I admit, it doesn’t look like much there. haha But it’s what is INSIDE that is going to make you squeal with delight!!! It’s a stationary card box that I made for Tolla’s teacher; it holds 4-A2 cards & envelopes, 4-3×3 cards, 5-tags, a post it pad & stamps! Next week is her last day of school and I wanted to make sure to send her in with a nice thank you gift. I’m going to cut out the teacher's name using my silhouette I just haven’t gotten to that yet so that’s why it’s a little plain right now on the outside.

Here is the inside, isn’t it awesome?! I just LOVE it – was SO fun to put together. Now, this box as well as all the cards & tags were decorated entirely using what is in the May PaperCard kit. The only thing that didn’t come in the kit is the 12×12 orange cardstock I used to create the box, the October Afternoon letter stickers and the Tim Holtz handle on the lid. Everything else is from the kit!!!

Here are some close ups of the inside:

 Here you see the post it note holder and the little pocket perfect for holding a book of stamps.

 Here are the pockets for the A2 cards, 3x3 cards and tags.

 Here are the pockets without the contents.

Here are the full size A2 cards. I kept them CAS *gasp* haha but I want her to use them! I ran the color CS thru my cuttlbug using the swiss dots embossing folder. I cut out the label with my nesties and stamped the sentiment using my ippity set Just Wanted To Say

Here are the 3x3 cards *there are actually 4 but you can't see one of them* - I thought these would be great for gifts and the fun sentiment is by Unity Stamps Co Retro Road Trip. The background is stamped with VersaMark and is a star stamp from an ippity set called Authentic Man.

And finally the tags! Aren't they cute?! I just love this magnolia doohickey die - one of my favs. You can see from the A2 cards that I coordinated them by using the tilda lace die on those as well. I distressed all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Inks.I used Helmar Acid Free glue to attach all the pockets and to create the lid so I know it won't be falling apart! I'd like her to have this long after she uses up the cards and maybe fills it up with other cards. :D To adhere the ribbon and flowers I used Helmar Craft Glue.
