NO FUN FOLD CARD THIS FRIDAY

Although my Fridays are normally spent sharing Fun Fold cards, today I have the last eight cards that I made for my card gift box.

First let me share four birthday cards with you.

I have used the uneven number rule for all of these birthday cards.

I’m keeping the bicycle birthday card to give to my brother later this month – he’s turning 55!

The last four cards that are going into the gift box are Christmas cards.

The Christmas puddings are so cute!

Real Red is always a great colour for Christmas projects.

The holly wreath was created after colouring 7 sprigs and then placing them on a 1 7/8″ circle. The new circle punch is a great addition to the collection.

The background, for the baubles card, was made by adhering many of the snowflake shapes to the white card base. Then the Misty Moonlight banner was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the Hole Punch Assortment (165409) to punch the small hole in the three baubles. This allowed me to thread some white twine through them to create this look.

And, there you have it – a thank you gift box filled with cards for most occasions.

This week has been so much fun. It is so quick and easy to create lots and lots of cards when you use the Ephemera Packs,

I hope that you add some to your crafting stash.

Next week I will have something new to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

TODAY IS 3D THURSDAY

This week I always knew that I wanted to create a super large gift box to hold 20+ cards and envelopes.

The finished box measures 6 7/8″x 4 3/4″ and is 5″ deep.

After designing the pattern for this box and then cutting and assembling it, I then added card panels inside each area of the box to give it greater sturdiness and stability.

Once I had finsihed the gift box structure I then added Misty Moonlight card panels on the exterior areas of the gift box. This added colour and stability.

I wrapped a very long length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around the box, securing it to the front of the box.

The Misty Moonlight panel, on the top of the box, was then secured over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This top panel then had many of the ephemera elements attached to it.

‘Thanks’ was the chosen greeting because I think this box of cards would make an amzing gift to thank someone for what they have done.

When this large gift box is opened, there are two sections holding cards that have covering panels to hold everything in place.

When the covering panels are removed, the cards are revealed.

Tomorrow I will show you the final cards that were made.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY?

If you love a great bargain as much as I do, then this is just up your alley!

Sales Period: 3–30 June 2025

All available suites and suite products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue and Online Exclusives are buy one, get one 50% off.

When you shop the sale, the 50% off discount will apply to the lower-priced item (for example, if you buy a suite collection and a stamp set from a suite, the suite would be full price, and the stamp set would be 50% off).

Suite collections are available if all items are in stock; if all items are not in stock, you can still shop the available suite products.

You don’t have to buy a suite and suite products all from the same suite collection for the discount to apply. You can buy any suite products from any suite.

The discount will appear in your cart once you’ve added two items within the sale parameters to your cart.

Products are available only while supplies last.

See and shop all qualifying suites in the online store.

Make sure that you go back to my post from last Wednesday to see all the details.

Now, let me share some more cards from this week’s project featuring the Ephemera Packs.

I’m sure that you remember the rule of three I mentioned on Tuesday – it’s back again today.

I realise that it might seem a little weird to share Easter and halloween cards in the same image but I wanted to show the striped and spotted embossed cards from the Mix & Match Specialty Cards & Envelopes Pack more effectively.

Sometimes you need to have a card for the ‘not so happy’ times in our lives. Sending a ‘get well’ message or condolence message is usually our least go to card. By including these cards in a ‘year ’round’ card box will help someone be ready when they may not want to be.

For these cards, I have used the PArty Banners Dies again. I really like the way the die cut banners fit onto a card front so elegantly.

Moving from these emotions, let’s add a little love.

I have used the Party Banner Dies again to help create these lovely Real Red Valentine’s cards. Strawberries and hearts are the perfect precut images to add to the front of these cards.

Tomorrow is Thursday and that means it is time to share a 3D project – so, I will show you the gift box that I created to hold all of these cards.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.
