Note Cards and Box

I saw this idea on YouTube and decided to make one to see how it would turn out.  I love this idea! Great for a gift for any reason.

This box holds 6 notecards from Stampin' Up! along with 6 envelopes. 

The box is made with a piece of card stock measuring 9" x 9". Use the Envelope Punch Board and punch and score at 3" and 5". Turn the card stock to the left, line up the first scored line with the punch pointer, and punch and score. Repeat with the second scored line. Repeat these steps on the two remaining sides. Round all four points with the corner punch on the Envelope Punch Board.  Cut along the large triangles to create tabs. Use adhesive or glue to adhere two tabs to the inside at one of the large triangles. Place adhesive on the two small triangles (sides of box) where the large triangle fold over the tabs and sides - make sure to only put adhesive where the large triangle will touch.

The belly band is made from a piece of card stock measuring 1" x 12". Fold this around the box leaving a gap in the front. Use punches to create a cute flower on the front - this also serves as a cover to fill the gap in the belly band.

Fold the top flap (large triangle) under the belly band to close the box. 

I made cards (2 of each design) with two different flower stamps and several sentiment stamps from Stampin' Up!.

Have a great day!

Birthday cards

Time for more birthday cards so I made these ...

Mother's Day Cards

Since I need to make several Mother's Day cards, I thought I would get a head start.

Hope you have a great day!

Baby Step Card

I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to try it out. I need to get another baby stamp to add things to this - there is too much open space on the step portion of the card.

Have a great day!

Hey There Friend Cards

I was looking for something to do and this stamp jumped out at me. I stamped it twice and took to coloring it with Blendabilites from Stampin' Up!.

While stamping, it seemed like the opossums were talking to each other and it made me think of dear friends who live miles away. I found the greeting in my stash from a Paper Pumpkin kit I received sometime last year.

Hope you have a great day!

Happy Easter Card

I made this card for my sweet grandbabies!

Have a great day!

Eat Cake

It's that time of month again when I have to sit down and make birthday cards for friends and family who have birthdays coming up in the next couple of months.

I purchased Stampin' Up!'s One Tag Fits All stamp set to go along with the tag punch I already have. The stamp set has been sitting on my desk so I thought I would see what I could come up with using this set.

This is what I created.  The stripe down the center of the card is actually more of a teal color to match the DSP paper - not quite sure why it came out blue. :/

Hope you have a great day!

From the Herd

Isn't this cute?!!?

I CASE'd this card and love it! The stamp set used is called From the Herd from Stampin' Up!

Pugs and Kisses

I made this card for my sweet grandchildren for Valentine's Day.

Hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday Bird Punch Art Card

I made this card for my sweet DIL for her birthday. Her birthday is today - I hope her card made it in time.

I took a picture of the punches used so I would remember how to make it again! I also used the Window Framelits from Stampin' Up.

Hope you have a great day! :)

Thanksgiving already??? This year has flown by on me.

Hope you have a great day! :)

Honey POP Birthday Card

I made this card for a sweet friend of my daughter. I actually snapped the pictures as we were putting it in the envelope to mail (thus the blurriness and cropped inside).

It is made with the HoneyPOP stamp set and honeycomb paper. I so enjoy these stamp sets. They are so fun to play with!

Hope you have a great day! :)

Birthday Cards

By now, all of these cards have been given away so I can now post them!

These cards were made for family and friends with birthdays in October.
