Fancy Favor Turned into a Box - Part 2

 

THIS is the box that was chosen for a Stamp Camp project.  We were looking for bolder colors and this fit the bill.  

For the outside of the box, I just used DSP and the Fancy Favor Die with the Big Shot.  Below are the directions that I used for the inside part that slides into the Fancy Favor to complete the box.  They are based on the directions we got at Leadership.  However, when I actually did the cutting/scoring for this part of the box, I used a 8-1/2 X 11 sheet and adjusted each of the vertical score lines to the left by 1/4".

Fancy Favor Turned into a Box - Part 1

 

This is a project that is similar to one we did at Leadership in San Antonio earlier this year.  I LOVE 3-dimensional projects and especially ones that are EASY.  This version was a sample that I made for some ladies to vote on for a Stamp Camp I was involved in.  This version did not make the cut, but come back soon to see what did!

Fresh Vintage Sympathy Card

 

Sympathy cards are never fun to have to use but are always good to have on hand.  We did this simple, yet elegant card at one of my card classes.   It's a great way to use the Fresh Vintage stamp set if you got it FREE during Sale-a-bration.  The Whisper White textured background can be changed using any of our embossing folders.  For this card, I used the Texturz plates that are now retired.  

Tip:  For the Elegant Eggplant frame, I cut the same size framelits in both Whisper White (after I stamped the image, so I could line it up) and in Elegant Eggplant.  I cut the Elegant Eggplant one in half and then separated and attached it to the Whisper White piece.  Then I trimmed the edges that peeked out from the top and bottom.

I am planning several new classes in the next few months including an 8x8 scrapbook class and Christmas card classes.  I hope to see you at some of my events! 

Mixed Bunch Birthday

 

I love the look of this card!  It is not my original design - I pretty much used the card design from here and just changed a few things like the sentiment and the brad.  The color combination and various textures are just awesome.  This was a great card that we did in one of my monthly card classes.  I generally do these the 3rd Thursday of each month - contact me to try one!

Easy Events Baby Card

Baby cards are sometimes hard to make in advance...unless you make them completely neutral.  That is what I did with this card.  It's a very simple layout, with very neutral colors AND lays flat for mailing.  Another card from my card class that has actually came in handy for myself!  I love it when that happens.  :)

My monthly card class is meeting this Thursday (6/28) evening.  Contact me if you'd like more information about attending.  You can get the class free with an order placed that evening (min $20).  That includes 9 cards with envelopes!

Fresh Vintage Thank You

Here is another quick & easy card that was done in my monthly card class during Sale-a-bration (SAB).  Each month we make 3 each of 3 different designs.  I try to make them fairly flat, so that they mail easily.  I like the colors and I love the font on the words.
Enjoy!
