Cascade Wedding Card
As I mentioned in my last post, I was asked by a woman to make a custom wedding card for her daughter who is getting married in a few weeks. I wanted to make a few different samples since I wasn’t sure exactly what she wanted. This is sample number 2.
This card is called a Cascade Card. It folds flat for mailing, but the interlocking panels can be pulled out slightly when displaying it to add interest and depth. Continue reading
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).

Inside-Out Chef Card
I called this card an “Inside-Out” card because the card front is pretty simple, but the inside is the more elaborate part and the part meant to be displayed. The above photo shows the inside of the card after the card is opened and the front is flipped over. Below is the front of the card before it is opened:
I think the images in this stamp set called “Recipe for Happiness” by My Favorite Things are just the cutest ever, and I had loads of fun making this card!
The nice thing about a step card is that it has a lot of dimension but folds flat and usually fits in an envelope. (This particular card is a bit thick even when folded so it requires a trip to the post office to mail.)
This card is being entered in the My Favorite Things – “You Could Be a Card Design Superstar Contest – 2016!”

The rest of this post is a detailed description of how I created this card. If you wish to keep reading, grab a cup of coffee and get comfy – it’s a bit long!

This card features the “Country Nativity” stamp by Uptown Rubber Stamps (H29014). The card base is a center step card; I used the template with measurements found HERE.
The image was stamped on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers [Mary’s Clothes (B95, B97, E41), Joseph’s Clothes (E43, E47), Jesus (E42), Skin (E00), Hair (E44), Stable (E44, E47), Cow (E42, E41, B95), Goat (E41, E43), Sheep (E40, E43), Staff (E47), Stars (Y23), Bird (E18), Branch G29)].
The card base is Gina K heavy base weight white. The brown printed card stock is from the Collectable collection by My Mind’s Eye called Unforgetable “Happiness” Delight Paper. It is two sided, and I used both sides. The blue card stock (mat and inside panel) is called “Winter Freeze” by Melissa Frances.
Raffia and jute was also used.
The Mod Squad Challenge this week is called Teacher’s Pet where we are encouraged to use a pet or animal on our creation. (Sadly, this site is no longer active.)

Golf Cart Box Card
This golf cart 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 golf cart card, there is a baseball themed card, 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.
What I love about box cards is that they 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).
The patterned paper and printed card stock I used was Authentique “Durable” from the Loyal collection, “Green Plaid” by Paper Pizazz – Hot Off The Press, “Persnickety Finicky” by lilybeedesign, and Recollections silver shimmer card stock. The textured white was the back of some scraps of printed paper I had in my stash. The brown card stock was from the open stock at AC Moore (not sure of the name; no label). The textured-looking metalic silver was from the “Silver Textured Foil” digital paper set by ScubamouseStudiosJr which I purchased on Etsy. I also used Recollections green from their Christmas cardstock pack and Gina K Cherry Red.
I used the Sizzix Dot Matrix embossing folder to add the dimples to the golf balls and two Recollections brads on the wheels.
I found the score card on google and stamped “fore you” with Gina K Grass Green ink. This stamp is from the CC Designs “Just Fore You” set.
There is a plain panel on the back where you could stamp or write a message and sign your name. The sentiment I used is from the “And Many Mower” set (retired?) from Stampin’ Up, and was stamped with Gina K Green Grass ink. (This stamp set also contains a “Happy Father’s Day” stamp which I also used in place of the “Happy Birthday” on a few cards.)
