A Little Box Of Love

This is my 4th project this week as Card Captain of the Michael Strong's Yahoo group.
I'll fill this box up with several surprises for my beloved DH.
Ingredients:
White CS for the Box
Light blue leather textured CS
Michael Strong's Cloisonné Heart Stamp (large)
Michael Strong's Punch & Spell Alphabet Stamp Set
Embossing ink
Gold EP
Ranger's Distress ink - China Blue
ProMarkers - Mint Green, Pastel Blue, Vanilla
Light blue half pearls
Scor-Pal
Oval Large Nesting Paper Punch 1.5 x 0.75 inch by EK Success
Double sided foam tape

First I created the box out of white CS, following Michael Strong's tutorial.
I distressed the light blue leather textured CS using Ranger's Distress ink - China Blue.
The heart
I stamped Michael Strong's Cloisonné Heart on white CS, heat embossed it with gold EP and cut it out using TH scissors.
Then I colored it with ProMarkers: I used Mint Green, Pastel Blue and Vanilla.
The heart was glued 3D with foam tape for extra dimension.

The word LOVE
I stamped the letters L O V E from Michael Strong's Punch & Spell Alphabet Stamp Set on white CS, heat embossed them with gold EP and then punched each letter out using the Oval Large Nesting Paper Punch 1.5 x 0.75 inch by EK Success.
Then I colored the letters with ProMarkers: I used Mint Green and Vanilla.
Each letter was separately glued 3D with foam tape for extra dimension.
I also added a few light blue half pearls for extra glam.

A Wonderful Way To Start The New Year

My mini Christmas card was chosen by Michael Strong as one of the winning cards in December's challenge.

Here's' what Mike wrote about my card:
Dorly Weitzen – Israel Here is another WOW card from Dorly! She has shown us that a simple idea can yield breath taking results. She has used dozens of tiny punched branches to form a spectacular little tree. I love how the card opens to reveal yet another surprise inside, a bright red Christmas tree – so unexpected and so Dorly! Well Done!
Mike, Thank you for your compliments.
What a wonderful way to start the new year!

Butterfly Gate Fold Card

This card opens in the middle and has 2 wings.
It was made using mostly pastel colors.
I used lavender pearly canvas-textured CS for the card, light blue leather-textured CS, plain cream CS and a patterned paper from my stash.
I stamped Michael Strong's Cloisonné Butterfly stamp on black textured CS (for contrast), then heat embossed it with mixed EP and decorated it with clear blings.
I used SN scalloped squares so that the outer piece exactly overlaps the inner one.
The butterflies inside were cut using EK Success whale of a punch, and the borders were cut using EK Success Parisian edger punch.
I left enough space inside for writing a personal text.
