T his project is a Pack of 5 Cards with Envelopes featuring the Amazing You Stamps and Celebrate You Framelits from Sale-A-Bration, all packed in a decorated Acetate Card Box - I'm so glad these were carried over from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue!
Project Recipe
The cards for this are all made the same, just with a different piece of DSP, so I will give instructions for one card and envelope which you will repeat for the other four.
Make a 6"x4" Card Base by taking a sheet of Whisper White Thick Card measuring 6"x8" then score the long side at 4". Fold and burnish the score line with a Bone Folder.
Choose a design from the Picture Perfect Party DSP (I made two packs using 10 designs - Pack One has Doughnuts:Bows; Blowers; Candles; Party Hats; and Pack Two has Gifts; Balloons; Sequin Disks; Paper Confetti; Paper Streamers.)
Cut the DSP to measure 5 3/4" x 3 3/4". Stick this to the front of your card base with liquid glue.
Using a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock cut an oval shape using the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies - Plain Die #1 (I number my dies from largest to smallest).
Using a piece of Iridescent Myths & Magic 6"x6" Glimmer Paper, cut our the word 'celebrate' using the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.
(For Pack Two I used Light Green Glimmer Paper)
Using a quarter of a Stampin' Sponge and the Berry Burst Classic Pad, ink around the edges of the Oval. Stick the glimmer 'celebrate' to the oval so that the top of the letters 'c' and 'e' are just above the centre line.
Using Lemon Lime Twist ink, stamp the word 'Let's' above the letter 'b' of your glimmer word, and the word 'you' below the 'ra'. Add three Berry Burst Sequins from the Tutti-Fruiti Adhesive Backed Sequins pack as shown in the photo.
(For Pack Two I used Berry Burst ink and Pumpkin Pie Sequins).
Add Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of the oval and stick it to the bottom right hand corner of your card about 1/16" from the edges of the DSP.
On the inside of the card and using the Picture Perfect Birthday stamps, ink up the solid rectangle stamp with Lemon Lime Twist ink and stamp once in the top left corner with the top edge about 3/8" down from the fold and level with the left hand edge. Re-ink the stamp and repeat in the bottom right hand corner about 3/8" above the bottom edge.
Using the stripy rectangle stamp, ink it up with Berry Burst ink and stamp this over the top of the Lemon Lime Twist rectangles inside the card.
Ink up the 'blower roll' stamp with Berry Burst ink and stamp this at the end of each rectangle.
Repeat steps 9-11 on the front of each envelope.
(Pack Two is exactly the same inside and on the envelopes as Pack One).
Make up your Acetate Card Box. To decorate, take a strip of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock measuring 11 1/2" x 1" then, holding the box so you can work around the smaller side of the box, wrap the strip around the box, meeting the two ends on the centre back of the box face. Remove the strip and firmly fold the creases. Stick the overlapping ends together then slide the band onto the box until it is about 1" from the left hand end.
Take a length of Calypso Coral Ribbon from the Shimmer Ribbon Pack measuring about 23". Fold it in half to find the middle then using a Mini Glue Dot, attach this to the centre back of the Belly Band. Use more glue dots at each end of the back of the strip, and then on the short sides, leaving the front of the Belly Band clear.
Tie the ribbon into a bow at the front of the box.
Slide your 5 finished cards and envelopes into the box with the ovals to the right hand side of the box and close the ends.
Sit back and admire your creation.
Happy Stampin'
