Getting Started – Baby 1

Getting Started - Baby 1Here’s another sample for my Getting Started challenge.  It has a  Whisper White Card Base, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive.  I think it would be great as birthday card or a thank you card, but I’m showing is as a card for a new baby girl.

Getting Started Sample – Baby 1

Getting Started - Baby 1 stepped upStep it up.  Stamp the flower 3 times on Melon Mambo card stock.  Cut one out on the outline, one on the inner row of petals, and the third around the middle row of petals.  Stack them up.  You can curl them a bit for even more punch.


Stampin’ Up! is encouraging us to try making videos.  I found it’s a lot harder than it seems!  It took me several takes and there are still some things I would change.  Without trying my hand at editing, I think it’s OK as a first attempt.

Getting Started Challenge BirthdayHere’s my first “Challenge” sample.  I used the swirl and the largest flower image and a birthday greeting.  The card base is Whisper White and I also used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, and Basic Gray.  I would be proud to give this birthday card to a friend!

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!

So quick and so elegant!  The Tag Topper Punch makes them quick and easy.  We used the same gold embossing powder, gold foil, sequins, and Washi Tape on all of them, but everyone made them in different colors of card stock.  They all looked great!  I think they would look great in Real Red or really any dark color.  I can see making hundreds of these for wedding or party favors.

 

The Night of Navy sample has a wider bottom and they fit a Hershey’s Nuggets just right.  Even better, the ones with Almonds come in a matching gold wrapper!

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.
