Layer 1

The first layer has a band to hold the tag / photo mat.  All edges have been distressed and curled tho give that shabby look.

Layer 2

 For the second layer I have made pockets to hoed the tags.

Layer 3

The third layer has corner pockets to hold the tags.

Noted

Hey Everyone,

Hope all are doing good. Made this project for Catchy Challenges 3x3 mini notecards + matching envelopes.

 Instead of making a single note card I decided to do a set of them. So I made a set of four note cards with matching envelopes. I also made a box to hold these four together as a set.

Teachers Day Gifts

Hello all,

This year I made some small gifts for my daughter's school teachers for Teachers Day. Made Explosion Boxes which has a little gift box in the middle which can hold small gifts or candies.

The Boxes

The four inner panels has spaces to hold tags and the magnetic bookmark I made.

Box when opened

Closer look at the tags and the bookmark

Have kept the outside of the box simple. Have added a punched border all around and the lid has a "Your the best" sentiment.

Another picture of  the finished box

Linking this project to BGC #38 Gifting Love. The bookmark can be removed without affecting the box and so can the gift or chocolates from the box in the middle.

Catching up on Coffee

Hello Everyone,

Back with another creation. I have used digital stamps for this one as I dont own many stamps.

Created it for BGC - Latte Love!  So here it is...

Peek-a-boo card

This is how it looks when the tabs are pulled apart

Made a peek - a - boo card. The front displays the digi dolls and when the tabs are pulled it reveals the coffee cup. The sentiment is printed out. Have colored the stamps with water color pencils.

Also added a few punched flowers and faux stitch lines.

Hope u like it...Happy Crafting
