Hi Everyone, after a busy week I have time to do a post. This was for my youngest SiL, who is a marvellous sewer, so much so, she has been to Paris, yes in France! to have a lesson on a couture jacket and how it's made. Anyhow, because it was her birthday, I decided to do something different for her. It's a cut file that I put together with papers from my stash. I was lucky to find a piece of the sewing paper and just enough of it to make this box, I may even have enough (just) to make it for hubby's Sister, also a sewer, who's birthday is in November. After cutting it all out on my digital cutting machine, I drew the lines on the leaves and added gems to the flowers. It was fiddly, but the effect when finished is quite impressive, (I hope you think so too?) It folds flat for postage. I'm glad to say she was thrilled with it.
I thought it was more like a gift than a card, so I made a quick digital card for her also.

I added a piece of gold thread to add a little interest.
Well that's all from me at the moment, we still have our family problems, but who hasn't at this time. Everyone I talk to has some sort of problem. I hope you're not one of them. Take care.
What a great card and creation for your SIL. They both turned out great. [Bunny]
