Card in a box featuring the Painted Poppies Suite!

 During these crazy COVID-19 times, I’ve been challenging myself to try something new - whether it is a new recipe, learning a new skills or trying some new craft technique.  For a chance to be entered into our prize drawing, please leave a comment below about what you've tried that's been new during our shelter-in-place orders.  The eligibility for the prize drawing will be May 15 - May 30, 2020.

Today, was my first time making a card in a box! I was so very excited to try this technique as that I usually stray away from 3D Projects and bold printed papers. I was invited to a Zoom call where we tried this out.  I’ll admit at first my box was remedial because I made a mistake assembling it.  I stuck to it and got my wonderful birthday creation you see below.  Believe it or not, it folds flat in a regular A2 envelope for mailing.  However, I was having so much fun, I used quite a bit of layers so I’m sure extra postage would me needed.  I’m really in love with how this card turned out!





If you like what you see and you don’t already have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I’d love to be yours!  These products can be purchased in my online store.  I’ve linked all my ingredients for the card in a box down below.

Holiday project for JoAnn's!

For the months of November & December, we will be featuring this papercrafting project at my local JoAnn's store.  I thought it would be fun to give it a try before the classes actually kicked off.  


This holiday ball was created using a foam ball and several different paper punches.  It was fun, but time consuming to make.

This shows the details of the punch.  I used an EK Success border punch , layered it twice and then rolled it.  

The red flower is another example using an EK Success punched that was double layered and then rolled.
I also used a Fisker's scalloped punch for the flower creations.  

Corsage pins were used to hold everything together.

Sheer red and white ribbon was doubled up to create a bit of pizzazz!

This is the final product.
Thanks for looking!
