It was my Sister-in-Laws 50th Birthday recently so I made her this lovely card in a box. The card in a box is the one card design I've probably made the most. I think they are unique and really fun to make!
The box folds flat and fits into a C6 envelope for easy posting. Just make sure you don't forget to put a large letter stamp on these when posting!
I used the Flower Shop Stamp set with the coordinating Pansy Punch and the Petite Petals Stamp Set with coordinating Petite Petals Punch. I also added some butterflies using the Bitty Butterfly Punch.
I made my own background paper by using the Hopeful Thoughts stamp set by stamping the leafy image in Versamark Ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I then sprinkled Silver Stampin' Embossing Powder all over the stamped image. I then used the Heat Tool to set the embossing powder to give it a raised, shiny finish.
Finally, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment and some Rhinestones and then wrapped her birthday presents in coordinating wrapping paper and Lost Lagoon Stitched Satin Ribbon.
One of the projects I have for you this week is a screen card I made a few weeks ago. I had a lovely 3 days visiting my grandma and aunties in Utrecht (Holland) and I wanted to say Thank You for their hospitality.
I CASED this card (copy and share everything) from a fellow Pinkie called Linda Parker - click here to see some of her designs on her youtube channel.
I chose Hello Honey for this card as its such a warm colour and I wanted my card to brighten her day. I used the Hopeful Thoughts Stamp Set as one of the stamps is perfect for the background. I combined this with punched out butterflies adorned beautiful with rhinestone jewels for a bit of glamour.
I also distresssed the edges with the Stampin' Distress Tool. (In the next few weeks I am going to be doing a feature on all of my favourite Stampin' Up Tools )
When I arrived at my Grandma's house in July I was really touched to see that the card in a box I had sent to her for her Birthday in April was still on display (if you haven't seen a card in a box before, make sure you subscribe to my blog as I am planning on making an extra special version for a birthday in October).
This card doesn't fit in a standard envelope so I made one using cordinating designer series paper and the envelope punch board. The envelope punch board is perfect for those occasions where you spent ages making a card only to find you don't have an envelope that fits!
I would love it if you could leave a comment to let me know what you think about this card and also any ideas you have for any other colour combinations.
Here is a list of the other supplies I have used to create projects - if you click on the pictures, it will take you to my online shop!
