Cards I made for In-laws

Since I've been together with Adrian (3yrs) I made some cards for my in-laws(as good as) and they asked me to make some as well. I never took picture of these cards(never thought I would do a blog or join a forum where I can share my work) so few weeks ago I asked Rob(my in-law) to take pictures of the cards I made over the years( I wonder why they kept all the cards :-) ???!!!). In the next few days I'll try to upload all the cards.

This is my exploding box from above I made for Adrian's mum on mothers day.

Materials I used:

I cut 1 12"x12" green paper

1 113/4"x113/4" red paper min 160gsm

1 12x12 fancy scrapbook paper( I used few left over squares from an other exploding box)

Few die cuts (made with my Wizard)

Once the top been removed the inside reviles. I printed the verse on vellum and matted it on the fancy scrapbook paper.

The butterflies and the corners are die cuts

I printed a tag out from The attic CD, turned it over and printed on the other side of the paper. I folded my card cut it out and the base was ready to decorate. For outside I printed letters from the Men's collection CD, for inside I used my little punches to do the "dad". Unfortunately there isn't a picture of the booklet opened, its an origami booklet very easy to make. Will do tutorial for it soon. I think the topper come from the Crafters Companion CD too.
