Hello Spring Card With Pocket & Spring Treasures~

 

Hello Spring & Shop Updates By Renea Harrison

 Hello Spring and hello to everyone!!

David & I took a little time off to catch up on paperwork, taxes & machine maintenance. 
The Reneabouquets.com and Reneabouquets Etsy are now back open.

Please note that we are making some changes to our hours and shipping policies.
We will now go to a semi-retired schedule. We will be open Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday as our business hours, and our off days will now be Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and all Federal Holidays.

All orders that come in will be shipped in the order that they are received, Monday-Wednesday and if your order is not ready on those days, it will rollover to the next week. Our processing times for all products, even pack and ship will be 5-7 business days. This WILL NOT include our off days, weekends and Federal Holidays. If you place a large scale order, it may take a bit longer, according to how busy we are at the time. If you have ANY questions regarding ship times, please be sure to contact us and ask before ordering. We are a made to order, small business and do not cancel or refund orders.  


While I had a little extra time, I completed the following project. It is a Spring Box Card with an inside pocket that has sweet Spring treasures tucked in. This card is a one of a kind item, and would be so perfect for a Special Birthday, Event or Mother's Day, and is available in the Premade Section of the Reneabouquets Website. 
Please note that this Card was inspired by the Tea Party In A Box pieces created by Artist Kathy Clement (Kathy By Design). Kathy is so talented and she always inspires me in so many ways both personally and professionally.



The base of the card was created from Reneabouquets Premium Paper for durability. 
It is Inches 7 1/4 Tall x 5 1/2 Inches Wide closed and measures 14 1/2 Inches Tall x 5 1/2 Inches Wide when opened. 
The design allows for the card to stand and makes it perfect to display as well. 

On the cover, it has layers of distressed Blue Fern Studios papers with the topped layer having machine sewn accents. To add a sweet, Spring look there is a 
Beautiful Board Bunny Rabbits Chipboard With Corrugated Base. The corrugated piece has been sponge painted with white gesso, and the bunny has a little collar made of burlap string bows and Itty Bitty Blossoms  Lavender And White Mulberry Paper Flowers, and Itty Bitty Blossoms Purple Sherbet Mulberry Paper Flowers.




On the corners there are 
Beautiful Board Small Decorative Scroll Flourishes topped with matching Itty Bitty Blossoms, and Tiny Treasures Darling Yellow Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.



Tucked under the paper roll down is Gesso Painted Corrugated Board and a nose gay of Itty Bitty Flowers tied with burlap string tucked inside.

The lace detail is 

Petite Flower Lace.




At the bottom corner, I took a crocheted, lavender heart gifted to me by my sweet friend Phyllis Fernandez and topped with with a little Prima Daisy.



Here is the inside with the pocket and treasures tucked in.



The flap with the daisy closes with a magnetic closure, opens and up for a special note or a place to journal or add photos to.



The following Spring items are tucked inside:
Envelope Containing a Packet of Certified Organic Basil Seeds
A Pack Of 3 Tiny Treasures Darling Purple Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies
A Spring Book Mark with hand dyed seam binding a little rabbit from the 
Woodland Animals Trinkets Pack



The back is finished out in distressed, machine sewn papers that match the pieces for a finished, designer look. 
Once all the treasures have been removed and used, this piece would make a perfect spot for storing journaling cards, photos or other cards, so that it can be displayed and used long after it has been gifted.

I hope you have enjoyed this Spring project, and that you have been inspired to create something beautiful for yourself. Hugs ~Renea
