Cards In A Box!

I first saw these cute Cards In A Box on Pinterest and I just had to give them a try!  A Stampin' Up! demonstrator from the UK, Monica Gale, posted this idea in late December, and this idea has spread around the world!  I recently found a post by France Martin that featured dimensions that would allow the card to fit in our Stampin' Up Medium Envelopes here in the US.  Thanks for doing the math, Frenchie!!

My nephew's birthday is coming up, so I decided to make a special birthday card for his first birthday.  I was inspired by Frenchie's balloon birthday card:

I was so happy with how this card turned out, I had to make another one.  This time, I used the Backyard Basics stamp set and coordinating framelits.  What do you think?

The coordinating framelits make cutting out these images SO easy!  I used a Blender Pen to color the flowers and the butterfly.  I can see where this will be a fun class for my stamping friends!

Here are both cards together:

You can stamp a sentiment and sign your name on the back panel:

I apologize for the photo quality -- I am at a crop, so I am taking photos on the fly with my phone.  I just couldn't wait to share these fun cards with you!

Update:  I posted a photo tutorial about the Card In A Box on March 6.  Check it out!

New Paper Pumpkin Subscribers Get FREE Markers!

I don't know about you, but I am starting to come down with a bad case of "cabin fever!"  It is so cold and snowy outside, and it seems like there is nothing to look forward to now that the holidays are over.  Paper Pumpkin to the rescue! 

Paper Pumpkin is a monthly craft kit that is delivered right to your mailbox.  It will have everything (except adhesive) that you need to complete the project in about 30 minutes.  It is a surprise each month, and the anticipation of what will arrive is half the fun!

And, from now until February 10, 2014, new subscribers to Paper Pumpkin will receive a pack of the 2012-2014 In Color Markers (a $14.95 value) for FREE!  These markers will be shipped with your Welcome Kit. 

It's so easy to get started. Simply sign up for the program by visiting https://mypaperpumpkin.com?demoid=77526 and click Get it. Every month a new, surprise project kit arrives at your doorstep. Just think of the anticipation of creating a fun project to pin, showoff, and share with your friends and family every month!

Of course, you'll want to know more. So here's the nitty gritty:

• Each month we send you a unique, surprise kit with a project-cards, journals, décor, and more! (We've even color-coordinated, measured, and cut everything for you!)
• Each kit includes stamps, ink, paper, and accessories-everything but adhesive.
• Each kit gives you a 30-minute creativity escape.
• We will ship your Paper Pumpkin on or around the 15th of the month. 
• You need to sign up for a kit by the 10th of the month to get that month's kit. If you sign up on the 11th of the month, your first kit will come the next month. (Let's say you sign up on May 10, we'll send your kit around May 15. If you sign up on May 11, we'll send your first kit around the June 15.)
• A Paper Pumpkin membership is $19.95 per month (and shipping is included!) There's no commitment, you can cancel your monthly Paper Pumpkin at anytime. You can also skip a month if you want.
• Not sure?  Then, our Try-It kit is perfect!  Just visit https://mypaperpumpkin.com?demoid=77526 and click on the Try It button for more information.
