Card in a box

Loved this card in a box and was perfect for me as I had some jewelry to give to a very dear friend, it comes from Papercraft Button and you can make it too as she's made a video tutorial!

This is the top of the box, like my little 'Don't Panic' stamp? lol I'd forgotten that was on there when I took the picture, but it's right Don't Panic the box is easy to make and I'll give you the link at the end of my post.

Here's what it looks like when you open it up.

and here's the inside of the box.  The video can be found here Have fun!!!

Hopeful Thoughts

The hopeful thoughts stamp set is a bit of a sympathy/thinking of you, stamp set, but I thought the flourish from it would be nice on a birthday or mothers day card.  With that in mind here's the card;

I love that colour combination of crumb cake and soft sky.
Here's what I used;
Hopeful Thoughts Stamp set
Framed Tulips embossing folder
Teeny Tiny sentiments stamp set
Crumb cake card and ink
Soft sky card and ink
Very Vanilla Card
Pearls
Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack
Large Oval punch
Decorative label punch

Start with a c6 card base (A5 folded in half) in crumb cake

Cut two pieces of soft sky card measuring 51/4 x 4"

Stick one of these to the inside of your base card

Emboss the other with the framed tulips embossing folder and add this to the front of your base card

Cut a piece of crumb cake measuring 41/4" x 3", glue this to the front of your base card

Cut a piece of very vanilla card measuring 4" x 23/4" on this stamp the flourish from the hopeful thoughts stamp set in crumb cake.  Using the Itty Bitty punch pack, punch out some flowers in soft sky and add these to your flourish.

Place pearls into the flower centers

Glue this to the front of your base card and add a sentiment of your choice.

Lovely.

Mum!!

It's not long now until mothers day will be upon us and with that in mind I made this lovely accordion style card.

Isn't it just fab? The card is very easy to make using the accordion fancy label die by Elizabeth Craft Design which I'm sure you can find in most good craft shops, they also do a circle and oval accordion style die.  I also used the alphabet die from stampin up for the lettering.

It's made with Island indigo card and the water colour wonder papers, the flowers are from wild orchid.  Now if my mum was still around she'd have loved to have received this on mothers day.

Happy Crafting
