Graduation Music Matchbook with Easel Pocket by Reneé

Hello Ai fans!

Before I get into my post for today I have an announcement.
Be sure to check back later today for a special giveaway for my upcoming
Art Impressions 13th Anniversary!

Today I'm sharing a special request I had for a graduation card.
I often sell my cards to friends and this was a card that one of them
wanted for a student who was graduating last month.

They requested that it have this specific picture of The Who on it and that
it be music themed.

I had just received the new 5905 – Music Shop MB and 5901 – Mini Rectangle Frame Dies
and knew they would be perfect for his request. I embossed the blue paper with stars before
cutting it with the 5317 – MB Template Dies5317 – MB Template Dies.

I then embossed the same paper with music notes before cutting that out with the

frame dies. I glued the bottom shut so her could put the MB, a little note and a gift

card inside. The sentiment is from 5735 – Birthday Sentiment Set.

The frame has an easel so that it can stand up for display.

I used the 5562 – Journal Letter Die Set to add her name to the back of the MB.

They say it's your birthday!

Hello Ai fans!

I absolutely LOVE the new little frame die sets from
Art Impressions.

All Art Impressions products are linked below.

This is the first project I made using them.

I didn't use them as they are intended but I really love that
you have options in how you use them!

My friend's niece, Sophia, just turned 12 and she told me that she has
really gotten into music. Some of her favorites are the Monkees, Beach Boys
and the Beatles so I incorporated them into my design.

I knew she would be giving some sort of gift like a check or gift card so I wanted

a sort of "pocket" and not just the normal MB Envelope. The new frame dies jumped

out at me.

I turned the frame upside down and glued the straight seam together.

The scallop was now at the top and made the perfect little pocket that stands

up and hold her little music room.

The Monkee and Beatle art was just printed from my laptop.

Just A Little Note by Janet

Creating with the new 5905 Music Shop MB5905 Music Shop MB set was a wonderful journey into memories of band in my high school and college years. The shop has no shortage of details and includes many instruments including horns, stringed instruments, a tambourine, and books and sheets of music. While this is technically a shop, it really reminded me of the old music room in my school. It had cabinets and shelves of instruments and music. It was a place of fun and imagination. It was a place where all my "trebles" could disappear an hour at a time. It was where I developed a true love of music and I'm forever grateful for it and the teacher who was a force to reckon with.

In many ways, card making has become my adult "music shop." It's only fitting that I would enjoy making this matchbook card. As with all MB cards, it starts wit the 5317 MB Template Die. This cuts the base card with fold lines. I cut a window using the window die and frame in this set. I also cut the easel piece which when glued to the back will help the card stand straight and open.

This card is certainly one of my new favorites and I know I'm going to make one for each of the people who accompany me in my flute solos and duets at church. They will be quite entranced by this card. I can't wait to share one with them!

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope my card gives you some ideas of your own. Please visit the store to see all the things you need for your card, journal, and tag making projects. Be sure to take a look at all the new releases while you are there. Have a great Saturday!
