Hi stamping friends . Yesterday afternoon I created some cute birdhouse cards for my Facebook Live . I cased the card sign from Chantal Herve . Such a clever design and oh so cute ! I love birdhouses !
For the first card I used the Birds & Branches stamp set & the matching Birds & More dies .
For this next card I have used the Friendly Hello set from the upcoming SAB catalogue which goes live on January 4 th . Can't wait that long ? If you sign up to join my team you can order this set right now with a qualifying order of $180 before postage and you also receive the matching DSP . Demonstrators can not only buy product early but can also start earning SAB product with each qualifying demonstrator order . How cool is that !
My last sample was created using a background I hand stamped using the Sweet As A Peach stamp set . I used Pear Pizazz for all of these cards and my flowers were stamped using Mango Melody
You can see my video over on You Tube here for more details
Last night I created an impossible box with a matching card . I got this idea firstly from Jan B and then found several different versions on Pinterest and I believe the original creator was Julie DiMatteo #paper pixie . The box is created from one single piece of card stock or designer series paper . When it is closed it appears as though it has a removable lid but it’s actually all one piece ! Pretty cool right !
I also created the matching card using my Basic Borders dies and some products from the Eden’s Garden suite of products . If you love the DSP and gems you need to get them now because they are not going through to the new mini !
You can see how I made this in my video as well as some gorgeous Christmas cards I’ve received.
As promised in the video , here are the box sizes and measurements . I forgot to mention that when adding DSP to your box , if using card stock as the box , it doesn’t need to go the whole way up to the top - just have it as I have shown in the photo or your box will not open . See here
