Bright Skies No Glue Ghiradelli Box-VIDEO

I have a really fun box to share today!  This one features the fun Bright Skies Bundle.  If you love this bundle make sure to check out my Card Crate Class To Go for February.  I'm featuring this bundle for four incredible cards!  Get more details on this class here.  This bundle is so amazing, I have had so much fun creating with it!  So I had to keep going!  This box is perfectly sized for two Ghiradelli squares.  I can't take credit for the design of this box, that came from fellow demonstrator Julie Dimatteo.  The design was so fun and I absolutely love that you don't need adhesive to put this box together.  Think of all the planning ahead you can do!  This box would be great to make for craft shows, parties, showers, etc.  And you can make them in advance and store them flat!  So wonderful!!  

I stamped some of the images from the stamp set and die cut them. I also die cut just the smallest cloud.  These little details go a long way.  I've heat embossed the greeting in white on Basic Black Cardstock to make it stand out and I finished my box with some ribbon and gems.  So fun!!!

Sale-a-Bration Sunday- Trusty Toolbox DSP Toolbox and Gift Card Holder

It's another Sale-a-Bration Sunday and this week we're featuring the adorable Trusty Toolbox DSP.  Earn this DSP FREE with a qualifying $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.  Today I'm making a fun mini toolbox with a matchbook style gift card holder.  Together they make a great paring for fun gift.  I'm pairing it up with the Trusty Tools Bundle in the Mini Catalog.  The dies from the bundle are amazing and will die cut some of the tools from the DSP.  The tool box is pretty cute!  I die cut it in Poppy Parade and added shading with a Blending Brush and Real Red ink.  I used Festive Pearls to make the bolts on the edges.  You can do this to the front and back or just the front.  

Once the tools were die cut I adhered them to the inside front of the tool box to stand out.  I trimmed a little of the DSP into thin strips and crumbled them for some 'shreddy' in the box.  You can fill the box with lots of sweet treats.  The gift card holder features even more DSP as well as some of the new Cork Rounds.  It's a fun and quick gift card holder and it works perfectly in this box! 

Make your own.

Tool Box:

Poppy Parade 6 1/2" x 7 3/4"

Score at 1" and 2 1/4" on all sides

Die cut two tool box fronts and six tool box handles

Bright Skies Fun Fold With Sunny Days DSP

I am still on my fun fold kick this month.  I'm addicted LOL!  This time I'm featuring a fold that I learned in a swap.  My swap card came from fellow demonstrator Amy Rich.  It was actually a swap that I did last year sometime, but I tucked away the card knowing I wanted to recreate the fold.  It's an accordion fold and it's sooo adorable!  I'm using the Bright Skies Bundle for my card.  This bundle will be featured in my February Card Crate Class To Go.  I'll be announcing details on that on Monday!  If you love this bundle you'll want this class to go-the cards are AMAZING!!!

For todays card I'm pairing it up with the Sunny Days DSP, you can earn this DSP free with a qualifying order during Sale-a-Bration.  It's made to coordinate with the Bright Skies Bundle so it's perfect!  To make the card base you'll accordion fold on all the score line.  On one end there's a 2 1/2" section on the other there's a 2 3/4" section.  I used the smaller section for the top and the larger section for my bottom, where my greeting is stamped.  

I added DSP to the layers as well as lots of stamped images too.  In a fun twist I actually made 20 of these cards for a swap I did this month.  I can't wait to get my swap cards back!  This is a fun fold and perfect for so many bundles and stamp sets.  Give it a try!

Enduring Beauty Bundle-VIDEO

I'm so excited to share this amazing new bundle with you!  Today I'm sharing the Enduring Beauty Bundle.  In the bundle you get the stamps, dies, and decorative masks.  These three products work in harmony to make such stunning projects!  I used only two inks on my project and blending over the masks with Blending Brushes.  I encourage you to check out my video to see these products work in action.  This is a great alternative to coloring the image, and this is a big image!  I was able to do this with my masks so much quicker than with Stampin' Blends or water coloring.  But if you love to color you can also do that too! 

I used Flirty Flamingo for my pink and Granny Apple Green for the green.  I made sure the base layers of each were light and then you can get darker with your layers.  Such stunning results.  Your friends and family will think you're an artist!  Make sure to check out my video for tips on how to line up the stencils effortlessly!  The rest of my card is pretty simple.  I added some more leaves from the dies in Granny Apple Green Cardstock.  The greeting is from the set.  I finished the card with some Brass Butterflies and Flirty Flamingo Baker's Twine.

Kiddin' Around Book Binding Fold

One of the sweetest bundles in the Mini Catalog is the Kiddin' Around Bundle.  I love these adorable images.  It's part of the Just Kiddin' Suite which is full of amazing products!  I thought for this card I'd take their adorable imaginations and turn this card into a book binding fun fold card, I was thinking kind of like a story book.  I didn't use any of the dies for this card.  This is basically as one layer of a card as I make but you can absolutely die cut the images and pop them up.  I used a TON of Stampin' Blends to color my image, you can check out the colors in the supply list below. To give it the illusion it's popped up I went around the outside of the image with Pool Party, this gives it a faux shadow and makes it look like it's popped up.  

I heat embossed in silver the stars on the book binding edge and a couple on the main focal image.  I added even more shading with a Pool Party Ink Pad and a Blending Brush.  To create the book binding fun fold, you'll add adhesive between the two score lines on the front of the card and adhere that part of the front to the back, or inside.  You can add ribbon or twine through the book binding part if desired.  I just added some silver Simply Elegant Trim around the front instead.  My greeting is on the inside popped up and punched out with the Double Oval Punch.
