Baby Blocks 7-12-14

Baby Block Card 7-12-14I saw Dawn Griffith make a similar card and adored the idea! I just love her designs and videos!

I made a few changes to her design.  Mine is made with Lullaby Designer Series Paper and also uses the matching Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding card stock.  Stamp and punch a ticket from That’s the Ticket and a few hearts punched with the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack.

I shrunk mine down a bit from the one Dawn showed.  This allowed me to fit the card in a standard medium envelope.  It also made the perfect size blocks to use the Postage Stamp and 1″ Square punches.  With the smaller size, I was able to cut this from less than have an 8 1/2″ x 11″ piece of card stock and it already includes the part to overlap.  I also realized that the tops of my blocks are open where Dawn’s open to the front.  My version could easily be turned that way.  I couldn’t tell you which I prefer.

Box in a Card? Card in a Box?  Either way, this project is fun!  It fits in a standard medium envelope.  When you take the card out of the envelope it pops into a box, open with hearts floating up.  I showed one with balloons too.

 

I love the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder!  You can’t buy it…  at least not now.  But you can get it FREE during Sale-a-bration through March 31, 2014!  Or you can wait and pay your hard-earned money when the next annual catalog comes out in June.

 

We inked the folder with a brayer to color the background of the embossing.  This can be done with any folder.  The banner reads “You make me happy.”  This card/box makes me happy!

Cottage Window Viewer Card 4-13-13

This card looks complicated, but it’s just a basic 4 1/4″ x 11″ card base with an extra couple of folds.  We added a panel inside for the view out the window. It folds flat and fits in a normal envelope, but pops up for dimension.  The farther apart you put the folds, the deeper the view.

Waterfall Card 11-10-12

Waterfall CardThis card doesn’t show well in a still shot.  It really needs a video.  When you pull the ribbon flaps flip over, one by one.  There is a tree on each panel and each tree is a little more decorated.  I’d seen the technique and was eager to try it.  Worked great!

Double Twist Easel Card 5-12-12

Double Twist Easel CardThis card folds flat, but has 2 panels that can be tipped up and propped open.  It needs an image that without a definite top so the bottom image looks OK upside down, but it looks great sitting on display.
