One of this weekend’s Stamp Club projects will be a Card in a Box, not the ones I am showing today, but a floral version.
My first design was very simple, though it doesn’t come across that way thanks to the fun dimension and papers! You can get a better idea of the construction in the next view.
The candles are 1/2″ strips of cardstock with flames made from the wing on the Bird Builder punch. The stamps are all from Perfect Pennants.
And you might not expect it, but these cards fit in an envelope. They fold flat!
Since we are heading into graduation season and I have a graduating senior…I had to come up with a special version for grads! Our high school colors are purple and gold.
Do you recognize the balloon shape? It is one of the ornament framelits. The stamps are Blue Ribbon and Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Both of these cards were made to fit a standard A2 envelope, so when they are folded flat they measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. There are great directions to make these along with a video at splitcoaststampers.com. Click here to go to those directions – they call this a “Pop-Up Box Card”. I followed these directions with the notes for Variation to A2 (Vertical).
I had to pull myself out of my craft room last night once I got started on these. They are much simpler than they look, and you can make them with whatever you have on hand – no special dies or framelits required, and the possibilities for embellishment are endless. Don’t you love that kind of project!?
I will post the version that we make in Club next week. I still have a spot available in each group (2pm and 6:30pm), and we are starting a new 8-month session this Sunday. Contact me if interested.
