MAKE YOUR OWN CARD BOX & MATCHING CARDS

This box will hold 6-8 cards and envelopes. This box was very quick and easy to make. The decoration on the card box slides off, then you can open the box.

I saw cards similar a long time back that someone else had made and made my own version. Recently, I decided to make a box to match the cards. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.
I used the Beloved Blossoms stamp set b1270, Baroque Alphabet stamp set E1006, Say It In Style stamp set D1283, Hollyhock cardstock & stamp pad, Garden Green cardstock & stamp pad, Blush Designer Ribbon Rounds Z1138, Key Lime brads Z1137.

THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX ~ MAKING & DECORATING YOUR OWN BOX



I love how my box turned out!!! I made it using one 12x12 sheet of CTMH Chocolate cardstock, Fancy Cuts Botanicals (trendy die-cut shapes), Clear Sparkles, 2 buttons, Sassy Strands (for sewing buttons), and 3-D Foam Tape (to add dementional to some of the flowers)



I did not even put a dent in the sheet of die-cuts that I used for this box and I love how the Fancy Cut Botanical die-cuts look on my box. Three (12"x12") sheets of die-cuts came in the package for only $3.95!!! Each sheet has a different color scheme. I can decorate a LOT of boxes with those three sheets! WoooHooo! I can't wait to make something else to decorate. So simple and fun~! Now get busy and make a box of your own to share with us!!!

Emporium Layout


This is the two page layout we made at my Scrapbooking Worksop in February. I used the Emporium Level 1 Kit X7105A for the workshop. Everyone took home 6 layouts total....4 premade that came in the kit and these two additional layouts that they made at the workshop. For the title, I used the Stitch Alphabet stamp set E1008 and Embroidery Floss Z1095. Everyone got to choose the word of their choice to stamp for their title, then hand stitched it with the yellow floss. The flowers are stamped using the Delight in Everything stamp set D1204 with the following inks: Creme Brulee Z2167, Vineyard Berry Z2157, Crystal Blue 1292. An Antiqued Copper brad Z1040 was added to the center of each flower.

YUMMY!!!! CUPCAKE SPRINKLES!!!!

This stamp set (Cupcake Sprinkles D1336) is so yummy! It makes me wish I had a real cupcake to eat every time I use it!!! What do you think about the background of this card? This stamp set is Argyle D1325 . There are 4 background stamps in this set. Can you guess which side I started stamping the background on? Yup, it was the left side and I quickly figured out that I needed to stamp the grid first in Tulip ink Z2266, then I stamped the inside of the grid with Sorbet Z2164, last of all I stamped the open spaces that were left with Creme Brulee Z2167. I used the vase from "With Love" stamp set for the bottom of the cupcake, so that it would fit in the circle that I punched to use on this card. I used papers from "Daydream Level 2 Paper Pack" X7108B to stamp the top and bottom of the cup cake on and for the strip of paper in the center of the card. I clear embossed the top of the cupcake with Clear Detailed Embossing Powder Z821 , then I went around the edge of the top of the cupcake with a "Watermelon" marker Z2358 The bottom of the cupcake was stamped in "Watermelon" Z2158 too. The edges of the "Sweet Leaf" cardstock circle was inked with "Olive" Z2137 Card Size: 5"x7" Now that you have all the details, Go Make One!!!!

A CARD FOR MY VALENTINE




This is the 5" x 7"card I made for my husband, Milton, for Valentine's Day. I used the Key To My Heart stamp set for the key which I stamped in Black ink Z2105 and the sentiment on the front of the card which I heat embossed using gold embossing powder Z668. The large heart is from the Love Language stamp set D1343 and is stamped using the Cranberry ink stamp pad Z2116. I added Prisma Glitter Z134 on the white designs on the large Cranberry heart, then I added a white flower with a Clear Sparkle Z1104 in the center of the flower. I made the base of the card using Cranberry Cardstock. The patterned paper layered on top of the Cranberry cardstock is from the Silhouette Level 2 Paper Pack X7090B. Sheer ribbon is wrapped around the left side of the card and tied into a bow.


Key To My Heart stamp set and Level 1 Paper Pack. This stamp set is an "E" size stamp set and is HUGE on an 81/2" x 11" carrier sheet. This set was for a limited time and is no longer available, but I have 2 sets for sale. To purchase this set e-mail me at debra_pate@yahoo.com
