Pop Up Box Kit for June with Crackerbox and Suzy Alien Stamps

Vicky BriggsJune 10, 2021Alien & Outer Space Cards, Belated Birthday, Pop Up Box No comments

Hello Stamper!

Here is one of our Card Kits for June. There is 20% off on one and 25% off on the second one!

You get 3 stamps, alien, spaceship and saying, and 5 Pop Up Cards that fold flat for mailing. The moon stamp is one that is not in the kit.

I started by stamping the images on Ex-Press card stock, coloring with Copic markers, and cutting them out.

This box is actually pretty easy to make. One thing you will need is clear plastic strips to attach the images to. This is the most fun part~I bought some donuts and cut strips from the plastic container. I also had some donuts while working on this project, BONUS! But any plastic container will work.

There are instructions in the kit, but

here are a couple of simple steps I did to put this box together.

Cut 1 strip of 2x5.5 for the back of the box (long blue strip) and

6 panels 2x (a little under)2 3/4 ~3 blue, 3 yellow

Other side of box.

You will get 4 strips with fold creases on the end. Adhere the strip near the fold line and down a little.

Adhere all 3 strips.

Adhere the other end of the strips and lay them flat.

Fold the card in half and lay the last flap over the strips.

When you unfold the box, the strips will be inside the box.

Adhere the little flap to close the box.

Cut your plastic strips about 1/8 thin and adhere to image and to the strips inside the box!

Here you can see the blue panels on the outside of the box.

It really is easy!

I did the back panel in blue for the instructions to see it better but I changed the blue to yellow for the box. I think this box will be fun. I love the 3D effect.

If you want to get real creative, decorate the outside of the box!!

Stamps Used:

Take care, until next time!

Mother's Day Flip Card

Vicky BriggsApril 23, 2021Mother's Day No comments

Hello Stampers,

Any time you can send a card to someone and wish them a happy day is wonderful. Mother's Day is a great day to tell someone that you want to wish them a Happy Mother's Day because you think they are a fabulous mother.

The card I made is for a sister to wish her a Happy Mother's Day because she is a wonderful mom, and moms deserve to be told they are appreciated.

This card can sit on a table or desk to be displayed.

I created a mini card in front with a bouquet of roses because what mom doesn't like roses?

I created a mini card in front with a bouquet of Rose Bunch because what mom doesn't like roses?

I also stamped our Background Swirls set of 3 on the printed paper.

The center flips up to reveal the message of Big Sister and Happy Mother's Day Casual.

The Sister stamp says Big Sister but I masked the Big and only stamped Sister.

Stamps I used:

Rose Bunch

Happy Mother's Day Casual

Background Swirl set of 3

Big Sister

My next card is for a friend, and she is a mom to a very friendly dog.

Take care, and Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Stamper,

Since this is the Spring/Summer hop, I used the Coffee Sunshine. I really like this stamp since it reminds me of a cup of coffee in the morning.

I also used After Coffee saying. This saying is so true for me!

Check out all of our Drink stamps stamps.

I used Spellbinder dies.

I sponged around the bottom saying and added a coffee bean to it.

Thanks for looking,

Vicky

Best Friends Card

Vicky BriggsFebruary 28, 2021Food or Drink Cards, Friendship Cards, Snarky No comments

Hello Stamper!

I did a flip friend card with some great stamps!

I started with a Flip Card and then I cut some printed paper to go over the card. The cutting was pretty since all the cuts were straight.

I used a ruler and an Exacto knife.

These are quick to do. I cut a piece of card stock for the center and added my saying. Since there were a lot of circles on the printed paper, I rounded the saying.

I love this saying, You Drink Too Much; I am going to use it a lot!

When you pull the card open, the middle flips the image over!!
