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 easy, yet so wonderful!  Yep.  It’s aluminum flashing again.  Don’t get tempted by the aluminum shingles which are just the right size.  You’ll need the roll of flashing.  The dies cut it just fine.  It works great with the embossing folders.  If you need to make hundreds of them, you may need to replace your folder eventually.  I made a couple dozen of these ornaments and my customers made them too.  My folder is just fine!

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!

I used this card to introduce the new 2013-15 In-Colors.  The coordinating mosaic Embossing Folder, stamp set, and punch are so beautiful!
