Vintage Mailbox Gift Card, Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends and Happy Monday!

Today's card features the super cool Mailbox Card Base from the Vintage Love Release from Honey Bee Stamps which I magically turned into a mailbox for a Gift card, so keep reading to see how I did that.

CARD RECIPE

Mailbox - A2 Vintage Mailbox Card Base Dies

Gift Card Post Card- Mini Postcard Die

Frame - Lovely Layouts Posted Dies

Inside sentiment - Mailbox Memos Stamp Set

Background Stamps - Postmarked Stamp Set

Gems - Vintage Love Gem Stickers

To create the space for the Gift Card, I added a thin piece of foam tape along the edge of the top layer of the mailbox and then glued it to the bottom layer. 

To hold the gift card I simply used a tape runner and applied low tack tape to the back of the gift card I then attached it to the Mini Postcard Die that I had stamped using images from the Postmarked Stamp Set.

To keep the mailbox door closed I cut a thin strip of magnetic material and attached it to the door and the inside of the mailbox.

On the inside, I stamped a sentiment from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Once the recipient removes the gift card they will also see another little message that I stamped from the Mailbox Memos Stamp Set.

Hope this Vintage Mailbox Gift Card inspired you to use your supplies creatively! Hidden surprises are always fun for the recipient, making this card extra thoughtful!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Shaker Card for Mom | Surprise Blog Hop | Studio Katia

Hello everyone and welcome to our surprise blog hop to celebrate Studio Katia and the amazing Katia herself. 

The month of May marks the anniversary of Studio Katia's 7th Birthday and we couldn’t let it pass without thanking all of you and also Katia for her amazing products. 

Like many around the world, the last few years haven't been the greatest for Katia and the design team wanted to let her know how much she is loved and appreciated. 

Since Katia is like the Momma figure of this team I thought this Birthday Shaker would make a great card to share on this hop.

CARD RECIPE

For this frameless/infinity shaker:

•  I began by die-cutting the Half Striped Cover Plate and gluing it on a card panel. Cutting the frame at a diagonal so that it only covered the bottom right corner of the shaker. 
• I then stamped the happy birthday stamp from the Cone Bouquet set and then the Mom from the Spring Roses set onto the card panel.
• For the Foiled Roses, I used the ROSE GOLD Glimmer Foil, in the hot foil system with the Roses Hot Foil Plate.
• I then used the coordinating Spring Roses Die to cut out the foiled roses.
• For the frameless/infinity shaker, you can use pre-made shaker pockets, acetate, or packaging material. For a how-to video click HERE. I created an acetate pocket.
• Fill the shaker with Pastel Rainbow Confetti and Pastel Rainbow Sequins. 
• Glue shaker pocket onto a card base.

Here is a closer look at these beautiful foiled roses. As you can see I only glued the edge of the frame down. This allows for the shaker pieces to move in between the striped frame.

GIVEAWAY

We are offering three $25 CAD gift cards as prizes for the hop and to be in with a chance of winning we just need you to comment on all the stops on the hop and share a little bit of love for Katia along the way.

Birthday Slider Surprise Card | Studio Katia

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!

I have been busy so making Birthday Cards lately. This week started the chain of birthdays happening now until the end of August. Today's card was made for my little niece who celebrated her birthday this past week. I love making interactive cards, especially for children and this one was fun to make.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I started off by stamping the MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE image and then coloring it with Copic Markers. I then used the MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE DIE to die cut the image.

Next, I die cut the pieces for the SLIDER TAG DIES. I then used the BIRTHDAY BALLOONS DUO STENCIL to blend out the balloons to the top and inside pieces using Distress Oxide Inks and the INK BLENDER BRUSHES. I did do my best to line up each layer of the slider tag to make the balloon images appear seamless. Before assembling the slider tag, I added the Happy Birthday sentiment from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS to the inside of the tag so that when the slider piece is pulled it reveals the birthday sentiment.

I then glued the slider tag onto a card panel and stenciled on the other balloons. To the bottom half of the slider panel, I glued the Birthday Cake that I had previously colored.

To finish decorating the cake I used a glue pen to add liquid adhesive to the candles and then sprinkled them with SPARKLE GLITTER to make them sparkly. And then added glossy accents to the flames and the icing on the cake.

To embellish the rest of the card I added some 3M CRYSTAL RAINBOW SEQUINS and that pretty much finished off this card.

I hope this Birthday Slider Surprise Card inspired you today and maybe you'll consider trying it out yourself the next time you want to add a little surprise element onto your card.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
