Edwin Nutcracker Soldier ♥

Hi my friends, old and new ♥

This project is made for the bloghop for Dutch Doobadoo.

If you want to participate in the hop (you really should as their products are fantastic) you should have a look at my other blog HERE

Today we are showcasing a special product, the small envelope stencil Dutch Envelope Art 470.713.002

I must say I love all the DD stencils, and especially the envelope ones. 

You will find this one and the other wonderful ones at Kreativ Scrapping

Every time I use one of them I feel I'm creating something really special. And today I have really, really made a special project ♥♥ LOL

Here we go ♥

Enjoy my picture heavy post...

Today's project is for my husband. 

He turned 40 last summer and I was so busy preparing for that, and to be honest I didn't think he cared so much about getting a card from me or not, so I made a mistake.. I didn't make him a card.

I promise, he cared... Every card I have made since that he have asked: Is that card for me?? lol

So today's project is for him. A little giftbox with the lovely Edwin Nutcracker Soldier (Little Circus Moscow 2013 collection) standing at the front with something for my darling hubby inside.

Gosh I love this wonderful stamp!

At the back I have used the smallest DD envelope as you see there are two sizes in the package.

Around it I have wrapped a doily made of a Cheery Lynn design die and a couple of Magnolia tags. Inside there is a note for hubby ♥

Front

I have merged together the two Magnolia stamps and colored them with Copics to go with the gorgeous Maja design paper from the latest Vintage Frost Basics collection.

The Congratulation text is also Magnolia, from the new Lost and Found collection 2014 and this was a part of the Stamp Club package. I love those packages, so many wonderful stamps and worth every penny!

You can purchase your own here, the next kit is Spring 2014 kit ♥

This is my inside.

6 envelopes with a small gift inside, one for each Sunday 6 weeks from now.

Just a small thing, to tell him that I care. 

He will love them! hehe

Just an example: 

Two movie tickets -and you are lucky to go with a hot chick (me)

All my envelopes.

I made three in craft from Joy!Craft and three white.

I wrapped around a doily and used two Magnolia tags and some string.

The idea I got from my amazing and wonderful friend Camilla. 

You really should have a look at her work as she makes the most fantastic things!

I hope you like what I made for you today

Until next time.... take care ♥

Hugs and love
