Happy 60th wedding anniversary boxed card

Hi
I have been asked to make a 60th wedding anniversary card for a very special couple...I thought I would make it in cream and black as I think its quite a classy colour combo.
I used my new spellbinders mystical embrace card creator die . I used cardstock from creative expressions. The ribbon is from Meiflower crafts .The gem centre is from wild orchid. .The fab bow was tied using my Craft-Dee BowZ bow maker...I love this piece of kit and it site on my desk for every bow I tie. You can find out all about it Here

The pins are handmade too, there is a tutorial under my header above so you can have a go at making them for yourselves. I used the computer to create the wording and I made a matching box and used a pretty resin  cameo on the ribbon  that I attached with Velcro so you can open and close the box

Handbag picture Frame !!!!

Hi All
I made this project as part of a demo I did at my local Craft shop SET in  Haverfordwest Pembrokeshire  recently, the ladies at the demo loved it and so I thought I would share it on my blog .
I used the gorgeous Dovecrafts papers called sweet paris.
The whole bag measures 8x8 [before the handle] so its a fab size for adding your pics inside.
I also used spellbinders circle dies to shape the bag front flap.
The cute chipboard Eiffel Tower I have had in my stash for ages...It was nice to use it up ..When opened up as you can see from the pics below there is 2 pull out pieces of card  which you stick your  photos  to and then they slot back in so the photos can be seen in the circle apertures
I made the flowers using the new sue Wilson peony dies....
