Wedding Congratulations featuring Sip Sip Hooray and Cheers to That Stamp Sets from Stampin Up!

To create this beautiful congratulations card make a 4 1/8 x 5 3/4 inch base from Thick Very Vanilla Card stock. Cut a layer of Gold Foil to 3 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches and a layer of Very Vanilla to 3 3/4 x 5 3/8 inches. Using the champagne flute die cut two from the Very Vanilla layer and emboss using the Tufted Embossing Folder.  Place die cut layer over a scrap of Very Vanilla and mark out desired area for “bubbles” lightly in pencil.  Stamp bubbles from Beauty Abounds Stamp Set in So Saffron and Petal Pink ink and erase pencil marks.  Glue bubble layer in position on gold foil layer and then onto card base.  Mount embossed layer with Dimensionals (lots of Dimensional) or Foam Strips so bubbles are visible through the champagne flute holes. Tie two bows from Metallic Gold edged ribbon, mount these on mini Dimensionals and fix in place. Heat emboss sentiment in gold on an appropriately sized stitched rectangle. Stamp inside as desired.

Card in a Box featuring cute dinosaurs from the Dino Days Bundle from Stampin Up

Score lengthways in half along the short edge and at 2 1/2 inches, 4 1/2 inches, 7 inches and 9 inches along the long edge.  Cut to centre on each vertical score line and removed the smallest flap as below. This makes a tab for gluing. Construct card by gluing tab to opposite end and folding down 3 of the four flaps as shown in the example below. Cut 2 pieces of matching paper from the DinoRoar Designer Series Paper pack to 1 7/8 inches x 2 3/8 inches and glue to the t...
