Box gift card holder

Hello friends:

This is Ruthie following with the theme challenge 'Fancy Me' I bring to you a box gift card holder on Shabby Chic Style. I love CAS and Shabby Chic, I can do any style but those are my favorite. This box will become handy when you don't know what to give, it won't look simple because it's handmade.This is the top of the box, looks cute, isn't?

You can see here another view of the box. I used cream cardstock for the base of the box; I put distress ink at the borders (I used walnut stain); I used pattern paper Prima the pad Hello Pastel; I elected to use pink and brown colors. Put some pearls and stamped the banner

Here is how the box looks open, as you can see you can put chocolates or candy inside and the gift card and the center. You can stamp also inside like I did.

Here you can see the groove for the gift card. You can make it the size you want or need to put in the gift card.

And here the view with the gift card in. And lastly, it was not my idea I found a tutorial on the web. Here is the link where I got it Pop Up Gift Card Tutorial

Hope you like it !!!

Don't forget to participate in or challenge 'Fancy Me'.

See you next time!! 

Paris Memories

Hello friends!! Today's inspiration project for Lulupu The Craft Lounge is a card; I made this Eiffel Tower card. You would be wondering.... where is the embossing part? As you remember this challenge is about Stamp & Color + Emboss; well, let me explain to you how I made this card.

Well, first I cut my card in black cardstock; then I applied the Embossing Magic Bag over the cardstock to avoid static and to avoid the embossing powder going everywhere. The I  used the VersaMark Watermark Ink Stamp applied over the Hero Arts Cling Stamp Zig Zag stamped over the card and then trowed over the Embossing Powder Seafoam White heated until dried. Then with prismacolors pencils I colored the negative spaces (you can use any watercolor pencil).

 

I embossed the Eiffel Tower too; with Gold Embossing Powder, same technique. Looks like metal right? I love how it looks!

I made the sentiment same as the tower. I like the result very much!!!!

Mini Album

Hello friends!! I'm kind of sad, because my laptop crashed, yea..... but anyway here I'm with a Mini Album for a baby boy!! I used to think that doing a MA would be hard and would take time; but no; it's really easy to do them. Let me show you!

First I made the base of the MA with white solid cardstock. I used my Silhouette Cameo; and the file album for a baby.

Then I used DCWV patter paper Nana's Kids and  Animal Crackers to cover the base cardstock. Added the ultrasound images and added stickers with baby motives to embellish the album.

It's easy to combine papers when you use the same collection of papers. Or go ahead and mix and match from your collection!

Since this is a MA for a baby boy I chose boy pattern paper. Aren't these cute?

I tried to not put a lot of embellishments to keep the attention on the ultrasound images.

The MA is a great idea to keep all the pictures together on one event.

This is the back side of the MA; I left it without embellishments because this part would be facing down. I used the crop-a-dile to make the holes, to put the eyelets and added twine. 

Hope you like Mini Album. This is for my step-daughter who is having a baby boy.

Technique: Embossing a wine tag

Hello friends!! Today I come with the embossing technique but with a variant. I decided to do embossing on a wine tag but with different colors; yes, so I used a the VersaMark Watermark Ink Stamp Pad Dazzle Frost and the Bricks Tempalate. 

Its's quite simple but I would still go ahead and share the easy steps!

STEP 1:

I used the Inkadinkado Embossing Magic Bag to remove any static from the paper. This is one useful product i cannot have neat embossing without. I put the desired stencil on the tag and apply the VersaMark Watermark Ink Stamp Pad Dazzle Frost over the cardstock. With this particular embossing ink you get a beautiful dazzle effect as well unlike the plain Versamark.

STEP 2:

I used green, yellow and red embossing powders. Choose colours you love! And then with a heat craft tool settle the embossing powder; you will see how it changes the consistency and creates a fabulous texture look.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut this wine tag ; makes it easier! You can have a wine tag in just a few minutes! Also, there are couple of templates floating around too.

Here is a close up! I used the Lawn Fawn stamp from the set Hello Friend with Archival Dye Ink - Jet Black. Archival inks are water resistant and my favourite. You can use them on all surfaces and they are suitable for stamping, embossing too!

Now it is ready as a gift!

Hope you like this technique and this wine tag. I love it!! You can use this technique for just about andy project!
