More Cards In A Box

At card club last week I showed them how to make the Card in a Box. I cheated a bit and took the ones I was going to make all cut out ready so I only had to put them together. This is the first one, using Mixed Bunch and Flower Shop stamp sets, with the addition of a butterfly from Papillon Potpourri. and Label Love for the sentiment.

The second one is very similar, but just used Flower Shop for the flowers. The leaves for both  were cut using the owl builder punch.

The last one that night used non SU papers and an assortment of butterfliees from Papillon Potpourri and Best of Butterflies. The leaves were cut with Secret Garden framelits.

And here are all the ones I have made together except for the black and red one HERE, which has already been sent.

Right you can relax now - I don't intend making any more --- at least for a while!!

Card in a box!

I'm sure you've all seen these very popular cards in a box - they are all over blogland at the moment, so who am I not to join in! I'm actually going to show you the third one I made for one of Roy's colleagues. Apparently she was really impressed with her Christmas card which was black and silver(and according to Roy had red in it as well. I've no idea which one she got as I just gave him an assorted boxful. The only way it might have had red in it would have been Rudolph's nose). So he thought I should do the same for her birthday' even though I'd said she was getting a box card. I like to do the one's he gives at work all very similar, ie same stamp set, that way I know they won't get the same the following year! I had already started on the box cards - made two and prepped two to make at card club this week - but none met his criteria so I set to and made, what will be the last one, but first to be given.

I uses Secret Garden and Fabulous Florets for the flowers. The leaves are from Fabulous Florets and the Sizzlits Little Leaves die. It doesn't really show in the photo but the darker leaves were stamped in black then gone over with a Wink of Stella. The lighter leaves are actually silver shimmer card. The next photo shows the shimmer a bit better.
