Getting Started – Congratulations 1

Start Challenge - Congratulations with squareThis card has one extra fold that makes it seem so much fancier.  I think it would make a great card for an engagement party or a friend’s promotion.   You could also swap out the greeting and use it for many other events.

I used Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, and Basic Gray.

Here’s the same card “stepped up.”  You can cut the circle by hand, but if you have a Big Shot, use the Circle Framelits.

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.
