Exploding Box Card featuring Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set and SnowFall ...

Hello and Welcome to my blog.
Today I'm sharing the measurements and products used in this glorious exploding box card. To see the card being assembled please follow the link below to my YouTube channel or go to my Facebook page to watch a replay of the FBLive. Enjoy!

To make this card you need to cut (a lot!):
  • Bermuda Bay cardstock - 8 1/4 inches square, score at 2 3/4 inches and 5 1/2 inches in both directions to form 3x3 grid
  • Bermuda Bay cardstock - 7 7/8 inches square, score at 2 5/8 inches and 5 1/4 inches in both directions to form 3x3 grid
  • Bermuda Bay cardstock - 7 1/2 inches square, score at 2 1/2 inches and 5 inches in both directions to form 3x3 grid
  • For lid, cut 5 inch square of Bermuda Bay cardstock score one inch from each edge and then diagonally from intersection to corner (see pic).

Cut the corner panels from your 3x3 grids to form crosses.


To decorate you need to cut:
  • Silver Foil Sheet - 9 at 2 1/2 square, 4 at 2 3/8 square and 5 at 2 1/4 square
  • Coastal Cabana - 9 at 2 3/8 square, 4 at 2 1/4 square and 5 at 2 1/8 square

Stamp each Coastal Cabana square with the large circular stamp from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set using Coastal Cabana Ink. 


Using the dies shown above from the Snowfall Thinlets Set cut 6 large flowers from Bermuda Bay cardstock, 6 medium flowers from Coastal Cabana cardstock and 6 small flowers from solver foil sheet. Assemble layered flowers with liquid glue or glue dots (for less mess).


Now you're ready to assemble. The basic steps are below but please watch my video for more explanation.
  • Glue the bases of your Bermuda Bay crosses together, layering them is reducing size - largest on bottom, smallest on top.
  • Assemble lid by folding corners in along the diagonal score and secure with your favourite adhesive (I've used double sided tape). See video to watch this done.
  • Glue stamped panels to their corresponding silver panel and then to appropriate faces of box - smallest (5) on top layer and base - middle ones (4) on middle layer - largest squares on bottom layer (4) and around the outside and on lid (5).
  • Decorate faces as desired. There are 13 faces inside the card in total. I have used 6 for small family photos (cut by hand or using Layered Squares and Layered Circles Framelets) and 6 for our beautiful dies cut flowers. I have left the bottom undecorated as I plan on using card as a gift box. I also added Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon around the lid for some added interest. Again I used double sided tape for this.
Finished. Well done!

Reverse gate fold card featuring the Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle from Stampin Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I feature a reverse gate fold card using the adorable Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle and Night Before Christmas designer series paper. I like the reverse gate fold card as it highlights the central panel allowing the image to really pop out when on display. With normal orientation gate cards the central image is hidden behind the folds. The Holly Jolly Christmas Bundle is wonderful. Santa has so much personality and the other image match perfectly. See the link to my online store at the end of this blog to purchase this bundle and the other products featured in my blogs. To make this card you need cardstock and paper cut as follows:  Cherry Cobbler cardstock 11in x 4 1/8in. Scored at 2 3/4in, 4 1/8in. 6 7/8in and 8 1/4in Very Vanilla cardstock 3 7/8in square. Very Vanilla cardstock 2 layers at 3 7/8in x 2 1/2in Night Before Christmas DSP 3 5/8in square Santa's Workshop DSP 3 5/8in x 2 1/4in Cherry Cobbler cardstock circle 2 7/8in d...

Z-fold card featuring Wonderful Romance Bundle from Stampin Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I feature the beautiful Wonderful Romance Bundle with a lovely z-fold card in Petal Pink. To make this card cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock 11 5/8" x 6". Score at 3 7/8" and 7 3/4" along the long edge. Mark one 6" edge at 3 1/2" and cut from the opposite top corner to this mark to create angle. See diagram below: Using a lead pencil draw a light line 1 5/8" from angle. This will be your guide for die cutting the decorative edge. Using the guide line run the leaf edge die thru your Bigshot, starting at narrow edge. Carefully align the beginning of the die with the end of the previous cut to avoid doubling up. Remove the small cut outs. Card should look like this. Cut 3 pieces of matching paper measuring 3 3/4" wide and as high as the highest point of each of the three panels of your card. Here my three panels are 2 5/8" x 3 3/4", 3 1/2" x 3 3/4" and 4 1/4...
