Box in a Card 2-8-14

February 10, 2014February 9, 2014

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!

The Envelope Punch Board makes the box easily. We lined it with the same Designer Series Paper. It’s just the right size for a gift card, but we put 3 chocolate hearts inside. The Spiral Flower Die helps make this 3-D flower pretty easily. It’s not something you could pop in the mail, but it makes a gorgeous gift to hand to a friend.

Snowman Favor 12-7-13

This was an outright copy of Jackie Topa’s snowman. It was made with the Envelope Punch Board! It even used the scraps from punching to make the mouth and eyes. Jackie used the tiny ornament punch for the nose. Since I don’t own that set of punches, I searched for a substitute. What could I make a carrot with? I found the tail feathers of the Bird Builder Punch made a pretty good carrot.

Festive Flurry Ornament 11-2-13

This ornament turned out great. No, I didn’t design it. I copied it from the catalog. Stampin’ Up! even made a video showing how to make it. How terrific is that?

If you need more than the video, I did print my own directions.

Truly Grateful Card 10-12-13

When I saw this stamp set knew I needed it! I love the Early Espresso and gold foil and embossing powder. It’s a fancy fold, but it still fits in a standard envelope. The Core-dination card stock looks great with a little sanding on the wood grain embossing folder. I love the way it turned out!

Love these flip flop cards! I especially love that they can be made in the Labels Card Framelit. This one has the card in landscape orientation. Add a little sparkle with Silver Glimmer Paper and a little texture with the Petals-a-Plenty Embossing Folder. Add an embossed ornament, punched out with the Mosaic Punch. You have your Christmas cards practically done!
