Crafting for You [Envelope Card Box Series #7]

CRAFTY ENVELOPE CARD BOX Hello, fellow craft enthusiasts! If you're anything like me, you know that making something with your own two hands provides a sense of accomplishment like no other. That's why I'm thrilled to share this tutorial for a handmade 3D card that is sure to wow anyone lucky enough to receive it. Designed for crafters by a crafter, this envelope card box is a true celebration of creativity and personal touch. The Inspiration Behind the Card Every card tells a story, and this one is no different. Inspired by the joy of crafting with friends—our crafting BFFs—this tutorial is not just about making a card; it's about creating a memory. The Stampin’ Up "Crafting for You" stamps and dies used in this project encapsulate everything a crafter holds dear. From a miniature Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to a quaint basket of yarn, this card is a mini representation of our crafting world. Gorgeously Made Designer Series Paper The charm of this card lies in its intricate details and the use of the Gorgeously Made Designer Series Paper. The paper's torn images perfectly complement the 3D elements that seem to float within the card, creating a dynamic and visually engaging effect. This design choice not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also highlights the craftsmanship involved in creating such a piece. Perfect for Every Occasion Whether it’s a birthday, a congratulatory note, or just because, the sentiments "you inspire me" integrated into this card make it universally appealing for various occasions. It’s a versatile piece that conveys warmth and appreciation, making it an ideal choice for those moments when you want to express your feelings through more than just words. Crafting the Envelope To add an extra touch of coordination and style, I prefer crafting a custom envelope that matches the card with the same Designer Series Paper. However, for those in a pinch, a standard business envelope will also fit this slimline card perfectly. This flexibility ensures that the presentation is just as impressive as the card itself. About the "Crafting for You" Bundle For those who live and breathe crafts, the "Crafting for You" bundle is a treasure trove.

Celebrating the Eclipse with an Eclipse Card!

SLIMLINE ECLIPSE CARD In anticipation of today's astronomical spectacle, an eclipse, I found my creativity steering towards the cosmos. The event isn't just a marvel of the skies but a muse for my latest project—an "Eclipse" technique slimline card.  For this project, I dove into the soon-to-be-retired Stargazing Designer Series Paper, which proved to be the perfect backdrop for our celestial theme. The starry sky and space-themed patterns brought the vastness of the universe to the palm of my hands. The choice to use the Alphabet A La Mode Die set for cutting out "Happy Birthday" directly from this cosmic backdrop was deliberate, aiming to blend the celebration with the infinity of space. And of course, no starry night is complete without a sprinkle of sparkle, hence the addition of Rhinestone stars to mimic the gleaming cosmos. Crafting the Envelope: The First ImpressionThere are 2 paths you can take for the slimline card envelope. The traditional route with a business-sized envelope offers simplicity and convenience, but I can't resist the charm of creating a custom envelope. Matching the envelope with the card's Designer Paper, it sets the stage for what lies within, promising a journey through the stars before the card is even seen. Instructions & Video Tutorial: Guiding Through the GalaxyIf you're eager to recreate this stellar journey, detailed instructions, measurements, and a complete supply list are readily available in a free PDF in the INSTRUCTIONS section.  The Stargazing Suite: A Farewell to a Galactic CompanionThe core of this project, the Stargazing Suite Collection, deserves its ode. As it prepares for retirement, I can't help but reflect on the cosmic journeys it has enabled. From crafting astronauts to rocket ships and creating paper planets, this collection has been a gateway to the galaxy. Its galactic stamps, cosmic dies, and holographic paper have not just been tools but portals to crafting our very own universes. NOTE: THE STARGAZING PAPER IS GOING ON SALE TOMORROW 40% OFF WHILE IT LASTS Don't let the adventure end here. Dive into my Stargazing SERIES section below to discover more tutorials inspired by the Stargazing Suite. As we bid farewell to this celestial collection, let’s make the most of its remaining time, crafting our tributes to the night sky. Conclusion: A Cosmic ConnectionAs we look up at the eclipse today, let’s remember the beauty and mystery of the cosmos that we can capture, even in something as simple as a handmade card. Join me in this crafting journey and let's make connections that span galaxies. Happy crafting!
