Social Stamping – Out of the Box

Hi everyone – Happy Saturday.

Kelly has set the theme for this weeks Social Stamping Blog Host as “Out of the Box”

Some of the ladies participating this week were wondering what the theme meant – including me!  So it will be fun to see the all projects in the Blog Host.

I debated what the theme meant – could it be something in a box, something made out of a box, new stamps that arrived in a box or maybe a diorama?

While I was pondering what I was going to make, I received a Birthday Gift in the post (delayed by the Post) from my lovely sister.

With it was the most wonderful handmade card (she never fails to Wow and surprise me).   The card was perfect for this theme so after some discussion I decided to make my version of it.

Here it is;

I used the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp set, Flowers for Every Season DSP, Misty Moonlight Ribbon and the retired Window Box dies.

This was such a fun project to put together and I can see that I will make more of them in future.

I could not finish this post without showing you the card Nadine sent me.   I love it!

As I said before, I think this Blog Host is going to be great, with lots of different fun  projects.   I encourage you to visit everyone’s blog and enjoy the projects that we are sharing.

JAI # 154 – Just Add A Pop Up Card

The Challenge at Just Add Ink this week is to add a pop up card!  What a fun challenge this is.  I really enjoyed putting together my Pop up card.  

There are several types of Pop Up Cards,  but I finally decided on a pedestal pop up.

Here is my card:

For the front of this card I CASED the layout from fellow DT member, Delys.  She gave me a card with a similar layout which I really liked – so I have used it here.  I also love the colours in the Twitterpated papers so used those for inspiration too.

And when you open it up……
Ohh, Pretty!!

So – go to Just Add Ink to see some more Pop-up Cards and visit each of the Design Team blogs where we will each reveal how they all pop up!
