Dutch Paper Crafts Design Project - Anja's Leaves

So now to the good stuff.  I had the pleasure of the using the Marianne Creatables Anja's Leaves! You will love these. They are so versatile and so easy to use, they truly can go on probably every project you do.  Now, since I have done this project I can see them used in so many different ways. (gosh I can't wait to get playing again!!).
Let's begin:
We'll start with the simplest. I went with a white on white card and just added an accent of color. I really love the cleanness and simpleness of this technique.  Simple yet bold at the same time....

And I even kept the inside of the card, simple as well.

I used the following Marianne Dies, Anja's Leaves for this card:
LR0228 and LR0229 on the front
LR0227 on the inside.
Next Up is a Tilda card (did you really think I would do a full project and not throw her in?)

She's an oldie, but still a goodie!  I used quite a few different Marianne Dies along with some Cheery Lynn Dies and even put some Nellie Snellen punches to use on this card (all which are available at Dutch Paper Craft). 

 I went a little more detailed on the inside of this card since I had so much going on for the front.

Along with this card, I added a "envelope" to  match.  I used the plastic case that comes with the PTI stamp sets (the older stamp sets...the newer ones are just a tad smaller).

Here's are some of the goodies I used on this project:
Card:
Marianne Anja's Leaves: LR0226 and LR0227
Butterfly: Cheery Lynn Small #2 DL113
Inside of Card:
Flower: Nellie Snellen Rose Punches:  Jumbo FLP030, Medium FLP029 and Small FLP028
Card Box:
Flower: Nellie Snellen Rose Punch Medium FLP029 and Small FLP028
Marianne Anja's Leaves: LR0226

Now for the "Big" project for this realease.  I've been wanting to do this for a long time and thought the time had come!  And surprisingly this project was quite simple!!  I bought an unfinished wood box from Michaels and spruced it up a bit.  Made some notecards to add to the box...and here's what I came up with:

I painted the box with some white paint and then just embellished with a little bit of everything, LOL.

I made 3 (or 4..can't remember now) little notecards and envelopes to add to the box. The picture only shows one but I made them the same:

I kept them simple so they could be easy to mail. Now, here is the notecards stored in the altered box.

And if you are still here....I'll add just one more picture, hee-hee.

Here's a list of all the goodies I used on this project AND they are all available over at Dutch Paper Crafts.
