Snow Way Card in a Box

Hello and welcome back....

Today I have another card in a box to share with you this time using the Snow Place Stamp Set and matching Snow Friends framelits, along with the Peaceful Pines and matching Perfect Pines Framelits.

 

The card box base has been made exactly the same as yesterday, I made up 3 from a piece of 12" x 12" Real Red card. Then I added a piece of Soft Sky card 3 1/4" x 3 3/4" which I had put through the Big Shot in the Softly Falling Embossing folder.

Then I took some Merry Moments Designer Series Paper, (one 3 1/4" x 1 3/4" and two 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" ) and stuck them to the flaps. I made a banner using the Snow Way sentiment and added some holly which I had coloured using Stampin'Write markers and popped it on the front.

 

Then I stamped and cut out the penguin and snowmen plus accessories and stuck them in the box.

 

Next I stamped and cut out the trees from the Peaceful Pines stamp set and added them to the box. One of the dies cuts little v's in the tree which push up to give a 3D effect, really pretty.

 

And finally I added a little bird on top of the large snowman's candy cane, he's from the Santa's Gifts stamp set and some stars I punched out using the Confetti Stars border Punch.

  

And here's the finished card, so, so cute...

Christmas Card in a Box

Hello and welcome back....

Do you remember this?

 

Its a card in a Box, this one was made using the From Land to Sea Stamp Set, well ever since I made this I have been itching to make a Christmas themed one. I love these Cards in a Box and the awesome thing is they fold flat to go in an envelope, so not too heavy on the postage...lol

How cute is this....I have to admin I used a retired set in the making of this card, Holiday Home is one of those sets which you just can't let go and it works so well in this card. The other set I have used is Peaceful Pines which is just gorgeous and it has a matching set of dies, my favourite kind of stamp set...lol. Saying that both sets are easy to fussy cut, lots of straight lines....

 

 

So the card box itself is very easy to make, I used a piece of Real Red card 4" x 12" and scored it at 2", 5 1/2", 7 1/2" and 11" along the long side, then turning it around I scored at 2" on the short side, (which is basically in half). So then you cut up the score lines on the long side to the middle score line and fold down the two small tabs and one large tab leaving one large tab not folded down, this will be the back of the card box.

 

Don't worry if you fold all the tabs down, I put a piece of Soft Sky card which I had stamped and embossed with little white snowflakes in the back for the sky and also a piece of whisper White on the very back to write a message on, so that holds it upright.

Once you have stuck he card box together you need to make two dividers to stick all your elements to. I used two pieces of Real Red card 1" x 4 11/16" and scored them at 5/8" each end. These then get stuck inside the box flush with the top. I usually put the back one in first and then the second one is easier to go in.

So that is the basic box, now all you have to do is decorate it.

I stamped the sentiment onto Whisper White in Choc Chip added a wooden snowflake and a pine sprig.

 

 The houses I stamped in versamark on Chocolate Chip, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake and embossed them with White embossing powder.

 

 

I stamped the trees in Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Always Artichoke, there are six tree in the stamp set, I did two in each colour.

 

These are such a lot of fun to make, you can add as much or as little as you want, check back tomorrow for a snowman card in a box...

From Land To Sea Card in a Box

Hey there and welcome back....

Today I thought I would have a go at making one of those card in a box thingys... I had thought that they looked a bit complicated but actually they are super easy...

So I have seen lots of different designs, but since I live by the sea I decided to use the gorgeous new stamp set From Land To Sea and make a nautical one...

Looks pretty cool doesn't it......

I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Island Indigo Card Stock and Night of Navy Ink for the stamping. I stamped and cut out the images and then arranged them in the box....

And the brilliant thing is it folds down flat for posting...

The outside of the box, top is Bermuda Bay and bottom is Island Indigo stamped with Night of Navy using the Hardwood Stamp.

The back is left plain so that I can write my message on it..

I love it and so how is it made? well check out this video

Once you know how to make the basic box the sky's the limit...lol
