Today I am posting this card I made for a sweet friend of mine who just engaged. Happy Engagement Deborah & Calvin!!!! AND thank you for the fabulous party with so much yummy food yesterday. It was nice that you even gave us presents. We love them so much and Jasmine wanted me to let you know she especially loves the cool paper weight :o)
I have to admire this sweet friend's place. It's a treat for the eye with all the efforts & dedication she put up with the gorgeous Christmas makeover at her place :o)
First I finished a card for them, but then since I bought them both a gift card as their gift, so I wanted to make a box to put the gift cards in. I attached the box I made under the original card to turn it into the pull out drawer card. It actually took me a long time just to add this box which I wasn't expected. It was because I didn't have a template for the size. I just created it along under the original 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 card.
Here is the card with the added box.
Here is the drawer for tucking the gift cards
(This was the original card I did first) Again I used two images from the Magnolia Winter Kit from Sweden to complete this card. I also bought these two sentiment stamps for the love theme of this card.
Closer view on the images (the heart they sit on was also one of the images from the kit, I just cut colored two of them with Copic and cut them out for the images to sit on)
Closer view to show you the Prima flowers and the pretty lace trim I bought from a local stamps store.

Closer view for the inside
That's all I have for you today and hope you like it :o)
