Mother's Day Box Card

Happy Tuesday everyone.  This is a new one for me as I have not had much time to stamp much less share and this week, I have quite a few to share with you.  I will start today by sharing my mother's day card (box card).  I can't wait for her to open the envelope and see this.  I just love it.

 

 

Here is a side view of it!

 

 

And then a close up of it so you can see the glitter on the butterflies.  I embossed the flowers with white embossing powder and the punched them out.

 

 

The designer paper I used is a retired paper from stampin up and as I was going through my papers, I found it and knew I would use it to make this box card.

 

You can find the tutorial here and my first box card here!

 

Hope you like it and hope you have a wonderful Thursday!

 

Clean & Simple 255

Last night I was able to play and actually got two cards done.  One you will see Monday, but here is the one I did by using the clean and simple challenge sketch from yesterday.  So simple, yet I just love this card.  I used one retired stamp which I love, one stamp current for the inside and a new embossing folder that I just received.  So here you go!

 

 

I also used the white baker's twine and used my marker to color it.  It is not even, but I do like the look.  Here is my side view!

 

 

And the inside!

 

 

Maybe it is because it is so early in the morning, but the inside looks blurred.  Well at least you get the idea.

LNS Challenge 222/TSSC262 Monday Lunch Time Sketch

Good Monday morning dear friends and hope your weekend was wonderful.  Time passes so fast and when you stay busy as I have these past few weekends it passes even faster, so Monday is just to soon for me.  But on to our challenges this week.  Yes, once again I combined the Late Night Stampers Challenge with the Monday Lunch Time Sketch at Techno Stamper's blog.  Our Late Night Stampers challenge is to use "Your Favorite Retiring Colors" from SU!  I love so many of them, but I must say I will miss Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze and Regal Rose.  So those are the colors I chose to use on this card.  And, I am so happy with the outcome.

 

 

For the flower, I actually stamped my stamp with versarmark and then stamped it in Regal Rose then onto the Pretty in Pink Card stock. I embossed it with clear embossing powder to help it stand out better and to put the two colors together.  Then using the Secret Garden Framelits, I cut the flower out.  So very easy.  Of course the leaf is part of the framelits also.  I did the embossing for the Happy Birthday the same way, by stamping in the versarmark and then the Baja Breeze ink using the clear embossing powder to highlight the sentiment.  The designer papers are from an old 6X6 paper pack that was a hostess gift years ago and was the only thing I could find in the regal rose.  But it worked beautifully.  I used the front and the back of the designer paper.  Added a few of the butterflies using the Beautiful Wings embosslit folder and the Baja Breeze card stock.

Box Card and Tag

 

This was one of my last projects I did this past week for Stampin' Fun and Friends along with a tutorial on how to do the card box, the band for the box and the tag.  The wonderful think about these card boxes is it can be any theme you want and you could just add a piece of jewelry or anything small.  I actually showed how you can decorate the inside of this one and add something besides a tag, or you can just keep the inside plain and add a tag.  There are so many options available.

 

Now here is the tag as a stand alone.

 

 

I love this designer paper as it gave it just the right amount of a distressed looked once I dded the sponging.

 

And now you get the see the box card closed!

 

 

And isn't this flower ribbon just beautiful! I am loving it.

SU Pinwheel die

I finally got around to trying this wonderful pinwheel die.  Isn't it just the cutest. I am already in love with it.  What inspired this card was this weeks sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  At first I thought what could I do with this and then the light just came on.  There are times you just have to think on it a few minutes.  Now I am glad I took a second look because I do like the outcome of this card.

Here is a side view of the card!
