My husband, on his way to bed last night, suddenly remembered that today, 4-24-13, is Administrative Professionals Day. He wondered if I have a card handy or maybe can make one for the pro in his office?
The only info I received about her is that she doesn't like cats. I DO know that she is very good and resourceful, and, having run an office myself, I know how much goes into doing it well. So this is the card she will receive and hopefully like.
This is a straightforward easel card, held up by the third flower from the top left as well as the small sentiment. I didn't want to go multi color and dug through my color choices until I settled on this soft lilac tone-on-tone color combination. The bottom piece is punched out with the new Martha Stewart Daisies Punch all over the Page punch. I love that design, it is so airy and pretty! The flowers are of course my own.
Usually I make envelopes to fit the cards, but this one needed a nicer presentation, so I made a matching box to finish the gift presentation. Some of my design team members create elaborate gift boxes for their cards, check out their blogs to see their stunning creations, so in comparison mine is rather simple.
See, Sigi can do elegant as well... :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, everybody! She was out of the office on 4-24 but received it yesterday and was thrilled. She had never seen an easel card before.
ReplyDeleteBeen working on another easel card in between feeding now 10 babies. The four newbies, screaming, starving orphans, are doing well now.
