Planter Box Card Class

Hi there!  Last night I held a Planter Box Card Class for a small group of ladies.  Everyone enjoyed themselves and even though the project appeared quite daunting, my guests were surprised at how easy this 3D card was to make.

 

I made sure I took some photos of the finished creations to share with you -

1.  Playful Palette Planter Box Card

  

 2.  In Colours Planter Box Card

   

 3.  Pink and a Pop of Pumpkin Pie Planter Box Card

Stampin' Up! In Colours Planter Box Card

Only two more sleeps until the new Stampin' Up! Catalogue goes live and that means a brand new palette of In Colours to create with.

I'm holding a Planter Box Card Class and mini catty launch this Thursday night with a small group of ladies, so naturally I chose to play with the new In Colours. 
 

The base was constructed from Kraft Card Stock and stamped with the Hardwood Background Stamp (Soft Suede Ink).  All other accessories are listed below this post in the Labels Section.

    

   

 Here's a round up of the Planter Box Cards I have made so far (Yes, I am a tad obsessed) -

Spring Planter Box Card

Hi there and welcome to addINKtive designs. Today I have a Planter Box Card to share with you.  After a bit of a craft 'slump' three challenges finally got me motivated and back into my craft room ... so a big thank you to all the DT members for their inspiration.

This card is similar to the one that I made for mum for Mother's Day but I changed the measurements slightly so it's a little shorter and have included a mini tutorial at the end of this post if you would like to make one too.

1.  Colour Challenge - Global Design Project #005

 

The colour challenge at the Global Design Project is just perfect for spring and I really, really love the combo!  I have included some Kraft Card Stock as a neutral for the construction of the planter box.

 2.  SUO Challenge - #132 Punch It Up

   

The second challenge that I have entered is at SU Only where the theme is to feature PUNCHES.  Here's my list of Stampin' Up! punches that I have used for my Spring Planter Box Card -

• Pansy
• Petite Petals
• Bird Builder (Leaves)
• Washi Label

Thanks SU Only Challenges!

3.  Theme Challenge - #17 Stamp Ink Paper - Floral

I'm excited to finally join in with a challenge at Stamp Ink Paper where the theme is FLORAL!

 

Thanks, SIP -

Mini Tutorial

 

1.  Cut two pieces of Kraft Card Stock, 2-1/2" x 6" (Score at 3") and four pieces, 3-1/2" x 1" (Score at 1/2" on the short side) and stamp the Harwood Stamp onto each piece with Crumb Cake Ink.

 

2.   Attach the legs to each corner of the base with Fast Fuse Adhesive.

3.  Cut three card inserts measuring 2"x 4" and score 1/2" from each end of the longer sides to make the flaps that secure to the inside sides of the planter box.

4.  Attach the punched flowers, leaves and other embellishments to the inserts with foam dots (Stampin' Dimensionals) and Multi-purpose Liquid Glue.

 

5.  The card will fold flat to fit inside a custom made envelope.  However, I've decided not to give this one away and use it to brighten up the desk in my office instead.

SUO Challenges #130 - Cards for Friends

Hi there.  Welcome to addINKtive designs.  Today I'm sharing a card for the latest SUO Challenge; It's all about making a card for a friend.  My mum actually asked me to make a card for one of her good friends.  It had to be a little bit special seeing that the recipient is also a card maker and certainly appreciates the time and effort that goes into a handmade card!

This Flower Pot Easel Card is made from the largest Envelope Liners Framelits and is the third one in a series of three that I have recently made.

Choose Happiness

 Colour Palette - Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, Perfect Plum, Bermuda Bay

This is the new card that I made to enable me to write and photograph the steps for the tutorial; it involved a bit of fussy cutting with the Choose Happiness stamp set.  However, the measurements (in inches) and construction are the same as the original design featured below.

Petite Petals

This is the original design which you can see in more detail in my post for The Stamp Review Blog Hop.

When recreating this card you could use a different embossing folder, floral stamp set and 'leaf' punch or die.  However, the measurements and instructions in the tutorial are specifically written for the Stampin' Up! Envelope Liners Framelits.

   

 135502 - Envelope Liners Framelits - $45 / 138286 - Boho Chic Embossing Folder - $13
