Santa stache - card in a box tutorial

Today I have a tutorial for you to make a fantastic card in a box using Santa stache

Items needed

Santa’s stache stamp set

Mustache framelit

Stars framelit

Beautifully baroque embossing folder

Cherry cobbler – stampin` blendabilities

Whisper white cardstock

A4 Cherry cobbler cardstock

A4 sheet of Early espresso cardstock

Glimmer paper – dazzling diamonds

Cherry cobbler inkpad

Memento ink

Crisp Cantaloupe ink

Aqua painter   

Tombo and/or red tape

Stampin dimensionals

To make the box take a piece of A4 early espresso card stock and score at 7cm, 14cm, 21cm and 28cm down the long side.

Then turn it 90 degrees and score at 7cm on the short side too.

Cut along the 4 score lines up to where it meets the 7cm score line that runs horizontally.

Then on the end piece (the flap) where it`s narrower, cut across from the score line so there is only a lower flap. Then using a piece of red tape along the flap put the box together.

Cut the following from cherry cobbler card and emboss with the beautifully baroque embossing folder.

3 panels 13 x 6cm, 3 panels 6 x 6cm and 1 panel 6 x 20cm. Then using off cuts cut two pieces 1.5cm by 9cm and score at 1cm each end as per photo.

Using tombo glue, stick the pieces inside the box below the top edge of the box, so you won`t see it later.

Then stick an embossed panel on each of the side panels, front and the tall piece of the box facing you. Then cut a piece of whisper white card 21 x 6cm and stick on the rear, so that a greeting can be written here.

Stamp 3 Santa’s using memento ink on to whisper white card and colour in using cherry cobbler blendabilities (I used the light and medium) I then coloured the face using the aqua painter and crisp cantaloupe ink, but of course if you had the skin tone ones you could use them! Then cut out the faces, I know sorry I hate fussy cutting too L

Then use the mustache framelit to cut out 3 from the glimmer paper and stick on with dimensionals.  Then attach the Santa’s on to the box, one on each of the strips and one on the back of the box. If you need to make one higher then cut a piece of cherry cobbler card to make a body

Stamp in Cherry cobbler ink the greeting on to whisper white card and cut out using the stars framelit and stick on to the front flap of the box

Here’s the finished project, hope you liked it and enjoy giving it a try

A lovely little package, turned into a Christmas card

Recently I had a lovely little packet arrive in the post from my upline Bekka. it is because I am now a member of our teams design team. Each month one of us has to create a project and provide a tutorial for it along with creating another project each month around our theme.

For the first project Bekka kindly sent us some things and we could create any project we wanted but we had to use one item from each packet. It was quite a challenge as these were the things we were provided with.

Packet of Kraft stickers,Packet of Candy dots and a piece of Venetian crochet trim

After a lot of thinking here is the project I came up with, its amazing how many different things can be created from the same items!

I used the heaxgonal Kraft stickers to make a wreath and used old olive ink to colour them mounted on cherry cobbler card.

Another screen card

A while ago I showed you a screen card that we made at craft club, whilst the ladies were completing their make and takes I did a twist on this and used the flower shop stamp set and cherry cobbler ink

Sorry about the photo but its the only one I took and have since given it away!

One of my favourite things about Stampin` Up! products is that everything matches, and I love that we have punches that match the stamp sets such as the flower shop and pansy punch

A Rainbow card in a box to brighten up a dreary week!

What hideous weather we have had this week, grey skies and rain, rain, rain!

It was one of my best friends birthday this week and she is rainbow obsessed, even lists her job as a rainbow hunter on facebook!

So I decided to create a rainbow card in a box for her, it also gave me another last chance to use the 2013-14 In colours, they retire at the end of June.

As you can see I used gorgeous grunge stamp set to stamp the panels.

Dont forget to check back soon as Stampin` Up! release the retiring list tomorrow and items on the list are only around whilst stocks last!
