Something special – an Easter card in a box! Happy Easter everyone!
This year, it almost passed me by had it not been for the fact that as a blogger and YouTuber, you have to keep a little ahead of the game and I realised that my lead in time to Easter projects and videos were little more than 2 weeks ahead which all had to be completed before my trip to Amsterdam to meet with my Stampin’ Up! sisters for OnStage Live!
I’m revisiting this “card in a box” technique which I adapted to get 2 cards out of an A4 sheet which you can see here. I’d made square ones before, and was experimenting with a different shape and made a rectangular one way back in April 2014! Back then, there was no HD, and I was a fledgling YouTuber, and it was all done with a taped cassette! So much has changed in the space of 3 years!
Viewed from the front, I added a basket of daffodils and a bunny and some easter eggs.
View from the top, I adhered the front layer of grass (needed 2 die cuts for the front, and another 2 for the “bridge”). The one in front was adhered 1/2″ lower than the back one. The bunnies were staggered and working in threes, as it’s more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
I stamped and punched the greeting from the Little Cuties stamp set using a 1″ circle punch. The Calypso Coral circle was punched out with a 1 1/4″ circle punch.
The card folds flat for mailing in a normal standard C6 envelope.
On the back, I incorporated a Whisper White panel for writing on.
Both the Basket Bunch Bundle and Little Cuties are retiring, so if you love these sets, don’t delay as availability is only while stocks last! The best way to get your hands on them is to order on line – don’t forget to use the Hostess Code and there’ll also be a little “thank you” from me provided you allow me to contact you and I have a record of your snail mail address.
Have a lovely weekend and Easter break! Back soon with a short video showcasing my swaps!
Stampin’ Up! has a new Reward System beginning early April 2025. Customers now must have an online account and need to opt in to earn 10% of their qualifying commissionable product purchases to redeem as Stampin’ Rewards on future orders. A qualifying purchase must meet the minimum threshold requirement on commissionable products. Be aware that Stampin’ Rewards have an expiration date. They need not be redeemed all at once. Stampin’ Up!’s system tracks them and the rewards expiring first will be used first when redeemed. You can check the Rewards Dashboard to help you keep track of Rewards Expiration Date Information. Please note the new Stampin’ Reward System cannot use Rewards toward the purchase of a Starter Kit as the Starter Kit has non-commissionable items in it. The Host Code will become obsolete.
