Box Card for my Son’s Birthday

Today’s card is a little different, I didn’t use exclusively new products or Stampin’ Up! products.  The patterned paper is from October Afternoon, I got a pack of 25 in a warehouse sale over 5 years ago and I’m still working through it.  The “Happy Birthday” on the front is from Cherry Chat that retired in 2007, sometimes you just need to pull out some old stamp set and show them some love.  On the inside, I used Animal Outing and Beautiful Bouquet.  For the card, I followed these instructions from Ruza’s Craft Corner.

Sweet Soirée Cards

Sale-a-Bration ends this Saturday!

I love love love buying Memories & More card packs, the problem I always have is using them up.  I personally don’t like the look of pocket scrapbook pages and there are only so many cards I can use on one scrapbook layout soooooo I tend to use them to make cards instead.  I was inspired by a photo from Stampin’ Up! and also by Jackie Aitken.

Here is what I created:

And here is what inspired me from Stampin’ Up!:

I actually did create a version of the Adventures card but I forgot to take a picture before sending it off to the boutique I sell cards at.  The change I made to it was to stamp Await using the Brushwork Alphabet instead of Side by Side.   I needed graduation cards.  🙂

Here are the cards close up:

My Onstage swap is based on this last card and possibly one of the cards for my next class.

Berry Burst on Glossy Cardstock Swap Card

Here is my second swap card from my Saturday swap.  For this one, we needed to highlight a new accessory from the catalog.  I really wanted to do something with the Glossy Cardstock and when I saw this post, I had to try it.  Let me say, you WILL get inky doing this.  (You may notice that those Wood Texture circles are recycled from the card in my last post.  Waste not, want not.)  On Thursday I’ll post the cards I got in return.
