Bear in a Box Card

Happy Monday! Today I am featuring Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much in the Box Card. S The kit is worth purchasing because it has a heart stencil, glossy accents, colored paper , an additional stamp called Sweet Truffles and envelopes. To see what is in the Valentine’s kit click here.

My goal was to utilize the valentine’s kit’s content. I have only one regret, I did not purchase the matching dies. I wish I had. Here is the list of supplies I used from Simon Says Stamp that were not included in the Valentine’s kit. I have also included the links to make it easier. These are not affiliate links, I am sharing what I enjoy doing and that’s making cards.

Box Card

Box Card Borders

Large Holiday Shapes

Love

Intense Black Ink

There are two sides to box so no matter what angle you are looking at the box, you can see an image. One side is a shaker heart filled with Pastel Hearts Speciality from Micheals. The other side is stamped with the words, ‘I love you’ from the Love You Beary Much stamp set. I used Waffle Flower Craft Tool Mini Media Mat to do a reverse image of the speech bubble. You might be asking yourself what does this mean? It means I stamped the image on the mat. When the image it wet I pressed paper onto it and that’s how I got a reverse image.

The Lawn Fawn Challenge

Every two week, Lawn Fawn features a challenge. Each challenge has a theme. For challenge number 92 the theme was, “Happy Occasions”. I originally made this card for a very special teacher. Mrs.B taught my youngest daughter in the first grade. Just to give you an idea of how special Mrs.B is, my youngest daughter is a 6th grader now, and we communicate with one another, five years later. Since then Mrs.B has moved to another state but to my daughter she is still a very special person in her life. Mrs.B recently had a son. The timing coordinated with the theme so I entered the card in Lawn Fawn’s challenge. Below is the picture of my card that was entered.

I want to congratulate all the other winners. Lawn Fawn has a strong following with artists from around the world. The cards that were featured in the challenge were pretty epic. In addition, I also want to thank Lawn Fawn for posting my card.

In the meantime, the card is in the mail in the hopes of making someone feel special!

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Holidays-Using Gina K. Design Sparkle and Shine Kit

Gina K. Design Sparkle and Shine Card Kit is pretty impressive. It not only comes with paper, stencil, die cuts but three stamp sets. Sometimes, you get a kit and think, “oh no- what do I do with it”. But Gina’s kit was well designed, it flowed.

At Gina K. Design Blog, they have a monthly challenge. November’s theme is to use a tag and a card. The challenge is to use two colors red and white. This is my entry. Wish me luck.

I do not have a lot of products from Gina K. Design. Hence the need to use a border from a different company. To create a shaker card with an interesting border, I used the Lawn Fawn’s Outside In Stitched Scalloped Square Stackables, and Stitched Scalloped Square Frames. I liked the shape of the border.

One more thing, the snow flakes and dots in the shaker card are from Joann’s. But I am guessing, they were in my drawer and I have had them for years.
