Many Mittens Framelits Mini Pizza Box

Posted on by Josee

Today I’ve got another Mini Pizza Box gift box to show you. In case you missed the last one I made, check it out here.

How To Make This Christmas Gift Box:

Cut the Berry Burst cardstock to fit the Mini Pizza Box top. Then cut a piece of Vellum cardstock to fit on top- run the Vellum through the Big Shot in the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Attach the vellum to the Berry Burst layer with Mini Glue Dots in the areas where you will be adhering the other elements- I hid the glue dots under the ribbon, mitten and snowflake 🙂 Add ribbon to the layers and add to the box top with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Die cut the mitten using the Many Mittens Framelits and Powder Pink cardstock. Add to the box top using Mini Glue Dots.

With Berry Burst ink, stamp the snowflake and tag using the stamps from the Smitten Mitten stamp set and then die cut with the matching dies from the Many Mittens Framelits dies. Adhere to the box top using Stampin’ Dimensionals for the snowflake and a Mini Glue Dot for the tag.

Emboss Resist Birthday Card

Posted on by Josee

I thought I would show you this fun and colorful birthday card today. This card was created using the emboss resist technique on Glossy Cardstock with the Playful Backgrounds stamp set.

How To Make This Emboss Resist Card:

Start with a card base of Pool Party cardstock and set it aside.

Cut some Glossy Cardstock and cut to fit the cardfront. Stamp the circles all over the glossy background using the Playful Backgrounds stamp set in Versamark ink– then add Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder and melt with the Heat Tool.

Using the Sponge Brayer, roll some Berry Burst and Peekaboo Peach ink over the embossed background and wipe off any excess with a tissue.

Add some Peekaboo Peach Crinkled Seam Binding to this layer and adhere to the cardbase with Tear & Tape Adhesive.

On Whisper White cardstock, stamp the Playful Backgrounds solid circles with Peekaboo Peach ink and then die cut with the Lots of Labels Framelits dies. Die cut a mat layer for the greeting with Pool Party cardstock and the next size label die.

Adhere the die cuts together and add to the cardfront using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

As a final touch, add some Glitter Enamel Dots around the greeting for some lovely sparkle!

Heartfelt Sympathy Card for my Uncle

Posted on by Josee

At the beginning of this summer, I re-united with some of my family members. It is a long complicated explanation, but, in short…my biological father was very dysfunctional and I chose to stop talking to him about 25 years ago so and stop causing myself pain by staying in touch with him. In doing so, I lost touch with my 7 aunts and uncles on his side and 2 half brothers. I hated losing touch with his side of the family, but, I could not stay away from him while keeping in contact with the others.

A few months ago, I came across the fact that he passed away in 2015. While I was sad that he passed, because he is a person, I DID NOT feel sad for me as I really never had an emotional connection to him.

His passing gave me emotional permission to reach out to my family on his side though and I have found great joy in reconnecting with them.

I know…too much information, maybe…but I just wanted to share. Before we get onto today’s card, I hope it’s ok to show you a couple photos of some of my family.

Recently, my uncle J-G’s wife passed away of cancer and I wanted to make him a special card. I had met her when I was young, but, had the privilege to see her again this summer. She was such a ray of sunshine and I really wouldn’t of know anything was wrong with her if my uncle had not told me.

I know how special she was to him and I cannot imagine how hard it must be for him. 🙁

How To Make This Hand Stamped Card:

Cut the Chocolate Chip Cardstock to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ and fold and score at the 4 1/4″ mark.

Cut a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock to 2 1/2 x 3 1/2″ and stamp the greeting from Heartfelt Sympathy stamp set in Versamark on to the cardstock. Sprinkle with Gold Embossing powder and heat set with Embossing Tool. When layer has cooled off, take versamark ink pad and drag it across the cardstock piece to create a textured look.

Take background card and drag your versamark across it as well. Cut a piece of Wood Textures Designer Paper Stack to 2 1/2 x 5 1/2″ and adhere to center of card. Cut a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock an 1/8″ bigger and adhere embossed layer to it.

Taker layer and add dimensionals to back and then add to card.

Stampin’ Up Stamps:

Heartfelt Sympathy #138764 (photopolymer)

Stampin’ Up Paper:

Chocolate Cardstock #102128, Sahara Sand Cardstock #121043, Wood Textures Designer Paper Stack #144177
