Big Boy Card

 
This is a z-fold card for a Big Boy train enthusiast's Christmas.  There is a matching gift card envelope and a place for private sentiment on the back of this card. 

The sentiment reads:

Our life is a constant journey, from birth to death. 

The landscape changes, the people change, our needs change, 

But the train keeps on moving!  

It moves on the tracks silently with every journey you take, 

with every destination, with every decision you make.

 Enjoy every momentof this wonderful ride. 

A Start on Christmas Cards and festive stuff

Below, still with Laurie Furnell Designs are some little Snowmen in parade--a parade of treat boxes.

 

NAK Birthday Card

 This card was so much fun to make.  It is a Book within a Card, and created for a 75 year old gentleman that features some of his most favorite things in life.  The  Diamond Paper which is the predominant graphic in this card was created in a kit "Diamond Clusters" created by Digital Curio from Etsy. The Monogram was created in Photoshop, as were all the graphics and inner pages of this "Card with a Book Inside"  It is a 5x7 card.

The top left photo is the envelope for this Card.  Top Right is the vellum belly band-with monogram that slides over the front of the card and exactly matches the triple stacked monogram in the center over a digital vellum picture of  some of the recipients favorite things. The top page of the birthday book  is a cover with Happy Birthday (font throughout is Trajan Pro).  Page two is his birthday year 75, Page three is "UR one in a Million", and Page four is the sentiment and greeting from the senders. The back cover is created with  Cuban Cigar wrappers illustration.
