You're Sweet Slider Box with Pop Up

It's Fun Fold Friday here on my blog, and today I'm sharing another Slider Box. This one has a sentiment that pops up when you slide the drawer out of the sleeve - so fun! You can see this action in my YouTube video:  

Using patterned paper and cut aparts, I decorated the outside ...

Below is what is inside the box. The You're Sweet panel pops up as the drawer/tray slides open & the Surprise Cube pops out as do the hearts.

One of the included rectangle dies has a nice edge decoration, so I cut it from acetate so I could add the speech bubble to it. That was then attached to a Bam Box that was also adhered inside the decorated drawer/tray. 

A few of the single hearts are from Karen Burniston's Hearts Crosshatch, and the others are the fallaway pieces from Whimsy's Slimline Heart Background. I shared that card last week.

I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.

Year of the Rabbit

Today I'm sharing the card I made to send to a friend to celebrate the Lunar New Year.  I pulled out some very old Chiyogami paper and this BigZ die from Tim Holtz. Since the rabbit die is a steel ruled die, it could handle the weight of the Chiyogami paper attached to white card stock with double sided tape. Once cut, I added white lines with a paint pen then gave the rabbit a blast with shimmer spray.

There was a scrap of black paper in the package, so I added it with a pair of magnets to hold the card closed. The second magnet is under the slightly popped up oval.

When you open that black flap, the Happy New Year pops up ... because I added it to Karen Burniston's new Bam Box. 

The Happy New Year was cut from gold mirrored cardstock, and I added decorative panels to the Bam Box with red mirror cardstock. A few more gems, another die cut rabbit as a signing blog and my card was finished.

A couple of times recently, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.

Pop Up Camping Easel Card

 

It's Masculine Card Monday here on my blog and today I'm sharing the Birthday card I made for my hubby. I just love the water coloured mountain/nature scenes in this patterned paper. The Happy Birthday and Happy Birthday Shadow (by Karen Burniston) are popped up with foam tape, and I added a die cut tree-line for even more trees.

Inside, the new Bam Box allows the camper to spring up and is also the bumper that keeps the card front in the easel position. I have had the camper die for over a year, and can't believe this is the first time I've used it. Sheesh ... 

Inside, I added another panel of the patterned paper - this one features a campfire in the foreground with mountains in the distance. I stamped an older Funny Bones sentiment from my stash. 

This card was very meaningful, since not only was it a milestone birthday for my hubby, we had just bought a camper!! So the sentiment, while funny and true - hit home as our bank account is still in shock. Ha.

The card started out as 5 x 6.5" - it was a card and envelope set I picked up at Michaels many years ago - but I trimmed it to 5 x 6.25" as that worked better with the 6 x 6" patterned paper.

I rooted through my embellishments looking for a small dog sticker, but most of the ones I had were too big for the camper. However - the Doodlebug Designs one fit and it was blue so matched the card!

... one more look ...   I gave the card to him on his birthday last month, and it is still out on display. He really liked it!

A couple of times recently, I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since a lot of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.

Winter Pop Up Birthday Card

Hello my crafty friends. This Birthday card has it all ... stencilling, Glimmer Foiling, stickers, die cutting, stamping and of course it's also a pop up card. 😊 I made it for my Sister In Law who celebrates a December Birthday.

The lovely blue snowflake background was reverse glimmer foiled using the solid plate and the leftover foil from doing different panel. Since the sentiments were gold foiled, I added plenty of gold peel off stickers, die cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die and added it to the stencilled card front.

Inside, I used the new Bam Box die set by Karen Burniston. As soon as you open the card, the Box pops up the Happy Birthday. So fun! 

There is more stencilling inside, a stamped sentiment and a gold foiled word on the left side.

Additional Supplies:

5 x 6.5 card & envelope - Michaels

White cardstock

White pearl cardstock

White matte glossy cardstock

Pop Up Anniversary Card in Purple

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. If you follow me you know I rarely post things in the same order I make them. This card was made back in October and was actually my first play with Karen Burniston's new release. Specifically the new Bam Box and that is what I used to animate all the hearts inside. It is SUCH a fun die - and the spring action comes from a #8 elastic/rubber band. I'm so happy that they are now selling small bags of the elastics on the website.  So people don't have to purchase 1000's of them from Amazon or office supply stores. 😊

The card is held closed with a belly band that slides off to reveal the inside...

I added gold leafing to some of the patterned papers, and also used gold mirror card stock so this card has LOTS of shine. Oh, and Shimmer Spray too. 

I don't make a lot of 6 x 6" cards, because of the additional cost for mailing. But this one was hand delivered so it was fun to make a card in this size.

 

Additional Supplies:
White cardstock
Shimmer Spray
6 x 6" card and envy
Patterned paper - Guilded Ink, Michaels
Navy 12 x 12" cardstock

Get Well Slider Box With Pop Up Surprise

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Fun Fold Friday here on my blog. Today's project is another Sneak Peek of Karen Burniston's upcoming new release; using the Slider Box and Bam Box. I also added the Get Well Charms and I talk about lots of ideas for this fun box in my YouTube video:  

As I said in the video, I made this pretty much as soon as the Design Team received their sample dies -- back in early October! I wanted to send something to my Mother In Law, who wasn't feeling well and my husband was flying to Ontario to visit her. I thought this would bring a smile to her face. (She is much better now!)

Not only is there the fun pop up surprise (thanks to the Bam Boxes) but chocolates too! I stacked two Bam Boxes but you could also use a strip of acetate that is adhered to the bottom of the box instead. I just HAD to try the Bam Box and have been using it a lot since It is SO versatile and I hope you have been enjoying all the sneak peeks that the Design Team has been sharing this week.

... one more look ...

Below you can see all the items that are in this new release, which will be shipping on Monday. We will also be celebrating with a Blog Hop on Monday.

One of the ideas I suggested in the video, was to create a sleeve for tissue packages - perfect for cutting into a gift package! I used the rest of the patterned paper from the box above, and a felt sticker that had been sitting on my stamping table. It was leftover from another project and I figured it was a great way to use it!

Additional Supplies:
Patterned paper - Basic Grey, Fresh Cut Peony
