Baseball Box Card

Baseball Box Card

This baseball box card is from the “Father’s Day Box Cards” SVG Kit by SVGCuts. The kit contains several different box card projects with themes that are perfect for Father’s Day or that could be used year round. In addition to this baseball card, there is a golf cart card (which I previously made), a toolbox card, a BBQ grill card, and a generic card with stars. The kit contains the svg files that you can cut with your electronic die cutting machine, and you can choose the papers and embellishments. Once all the pieces are cut out, you assemble them into an amazing dimensional card! A tutorial VIDEO is provided to make assembly a breeze.

I made this card for my son’s birthday. The greeting I added to the star element is from the “Just Fore You” stamp set by CC Designs stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink.

The card stock I used was all from Gina K Designs: Sandy Beach, Grass Green, Charcoal Brown, Cherry Red, White, and Metallic Gold. I swiped Gina K Kraft ink across the bats to give them a wooden appearance.

There is a panel on the back where you can write or stamp a message to the recipient.

The stamp I used on this card is from the “All About You” set from Gina K Designs and was stamped with Gina K Charcoal Brown Ink.

Box Cards fold flat to fit into a regular envelope, and depending on the embellishments that you choose, they may not even require extra postage (if you make them light and flat enough).

Warm Wishes

Posted in Cards, Christmas, Holiday Cards by lisababitz

Warm Wishes

(inside: …for a wonderful holiday!)

Here’s another of the coffee (or tea, or hot chocolate…) themed stamps I ordered last week.

This holiday card features the “Warm Wishes” stamp from Neat and Tangled and the glittered patterned paper called “Falala Christmas” by Best Creation Inc.

The image was heat embossed with versamark ink and Gina K white embossing powder. In addition to the striped glitter card stock, I also used Scarlet Jewel and Soft Stone card stock from Papertrey Inc.

The inside sentiment was stamped with PTI Scarlet Jewel ink. The stamp was custom made at rubberstamps.net.

I made boxed sets of this card design.

Thanks for checking out my card project!

Joy to the World

Joy to the World

(inside: May the blessings of Christmas be with you all through the year.)

The background frame is from the “Inspiration Mosaic” stamp set from Gina K Designs. The nativity stamp (EE0145) is by Prickley Pear, and the Greeting is by Momenta (20685R7). All images were heat embossed with Versamark ink and Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder on Gina K Ivory card stock. This panel was mounted on a Kraft card base (Recollections). The inside sentiment is from the “Christmas Blessings” set by Our Daily Bread and was stamped with Gina K Kraft ink on an ivory panel.

I used my MISTI to line up the stamps and to make sure I got good stamped images for the front of my card and was able to make multiples for boxed sets.

Coffee Note Cards

Coffee Note Cards

I see many coffee themed cards in my internet travels, but I have never made one myself. Last week, I was asked if I had any coffee themed cards on hand… Guess what I did as soon as I got home! After looking online at the large collection of coffee related stamps and dies available, I ordered a few and not-so-patiently waited for them to arrive.

As I mentioned in my “Falling Leaves” post, I also received a request for blank note cards without a greeting so I decided to combine the two requests and design another plain note card but with a coffee theme.

For this card, I featured the Stampendous “Coffee Background” stamp which I stamped with Gina K Dark Chocolate ink on Recollections Ivory card stock. I crimped a strip of Recollections Kraft card stock with my Uchida Crimping tool and adhered that to the stamped panel. (This kind of reminded me of the corrugated cup sleeves you often see with take-out cups to protect your hands.) The edges of both were inked with the Dark Chocolate. After adding some baker’s twine (from Target), I added this to an ivory mat and a kraft card base. A blank ivory panel was adhered inside for a personal message.

I used my MISTI to make sure I got a good stamped image for the front of my card and was able to make multiples for boxed sets.

I am still waiting for a few more stamps and dies to arrive in the mail and will be making more coffee themed cards when they do!

Christmas Blessings

Christmas Blessings

(inside: Wishing you a Christmas season full of peace, goodwill, and joy!)

I started off thinking I wanted to use browns and blues for my color palette and thought the idea of a wood print background might be nice to create a rustic feel. (Wood.. stable…that’s where my mind was on this one.) Anyway, I saw several wood print backgrounds in my travels, but this one with the turquoise and brown really caught my eye. I told myself that turquoise is kind of blue (for Mary) and kind of green (for Christmas), and I often see people use non-traditional colors, so I decided to go for it. Still trying to decide if I like it for a Christmas card…..

The stamped image and greeting are from the “A Blessed Christmas“set by Paper Smooches. I stamped the holy family on white card stock and the greeting on Darice Picket Fence with Gina K Charcoal Brown ink. I colored the image with Copic markers (Mary: BG15; Faces: E53; Joseph: E57; Jesus and Headband: E55) and hand cut it out with scissors. To make them more rustic looking, I stamped over the colored image and greeting panel with the texture stamp from the Gina K Designs “Frame & Filler” set (retired?) and Kraft ink.

The inside sentiment is from the “Christmas Blessings” set by Our Daily Bread and was stamped on Gina K Sandy Beach card stock with Charcoal Brown ink.

The circle panels were cut with Spellbinders circle dies (from the Large and Small sets). The small circle was cut from the Picket Fence card stock and stamped with the Stampin’ Up “Cheesecloth” background stamp and Kraft ink. The large circle (and all the mats and card base) are Recollections Kraft card stock.

The music notes panel is “Tiny Music – Teal (518068)” by the Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby. I stamped the holly over the music print with Stampin’ Up Lost Lagoon ink using the stamp from the Sizzix/Hero Arts “Stamp & Emboss Holly Background 657769” set.

The wood print paper is called “Petite Wood Fence – Turquoise (1145234)” by the Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby.

I inked the edges of all of the panels with Gina K. Charcoal Brown ink.
