Part 3"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all,<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m super excited to share the last and final part of the series with you. This one was totally inspired by a gift I once received from a friend\/co-worker when I was a bride-to-be. She gifted me a gorgeous handcrafted box with an enclosed set of monogrammed thank you cards. I definitely had it in mind while I was creating.<\/p>\n<p>First, I wanted to create a card to the bride that would eventually be signed by the bridal party. I wanted to keep with the theme when writing the sentiment so I used &#8220;infinite love&#8221;. I got to tell you, I went through A BUNCH of words and eventually started sounding like Buzz Lightyear talking to star command. Thankfully, I kept it simple.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the graphic looked like using elements from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/a-bridal-meteor-shower-part-1\/\">original invitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1162\" alt=\"Asset_BoxCover_Card1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Asset_BoxCover_Card1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, I wanted to create a graphic that would be used for the thank you cards Dayle could potentially use to send out to her guests. This one was simple.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1163\" alt=\"Asset_ThankYou_Card1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Asset_ThankYou_Card1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"457\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, I created 2 coordinating boxes that could be used to house all of the pieces to the project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I will have a step-by-step tutorial on this next week!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here is what the boxes looked like. The little one holds the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/a-bridal-meteor-shower-part-2-2\/\"> thank-you-favor-tags<\/a>\u00a0and the other&#8217;s to hold Dayle&#8217;s thank you cards to guests.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxOutside1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1164\" alt=\"BoxOutside1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxOutside1.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I created a belly-band with a flower embellishment to wrap around the box (basically to help it stay closed). Then, I slid the &#8220;bride-to-be&#8221; card under the band.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1165\" alt=\"BoxOutside2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxOutside2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick glace at the card after it was assembled. I gave it a blue and purple matting around the edge to coordinate with the overall scheme.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1166\" alt=\"BoxOutside3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxOutside3.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And here is the final project and all it&#8217;s components! It included a card to the bride, a stack of blank thank you cards, a stack of thank you tags, 2 gift boxes and a coordinating pen!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxElements.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-1167\" alt=\"BoxElements\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joliesamuel.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/BoxElements.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a super fun project to work. I hope you enjoyed following along and can&#8217;t wait to share additional projects with you! Congrats to Dayle Lang and best wishes to you on your upcoming wedding day!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for all new projects next week.
