Tuck and Double Reveal Card Lovely and Beautiful DSP

 This tutorial was by Laura Stranks, her YouTube channel is called Creative Gems and has a ton of tutorials as I have mentioned before.  Her Facebook group has all of the written tutorials for free.  She writes great tutorials! This paper is also in the Lovely and Beautiful DSP set. I did also use paper from Floral Impressions, both Stampin Up.

Pop-Up Book Card Lovely and Beautiful

 I made this type of card several years ago but it popped back up on my radar recently.  It has a tutorial currently by Simply Simple Stamping.  She has a lot of good tutorials on YouTube but she charges for the printout- however I believe she gave this one free. Anyway I used the new Lovely and Beautiful set by Stampin Up. I colored the flowers with the Blends, alcohol markers. I cut out gold sprigs and the center of the flower which looks stunning in person.

Lovely and Beautiful Tag Card by Patty Bennett

 I saw this card on YouTube by Patty Bennett, she  received a similar one for her 3 million dollar achievement from the Stampin Up company. I made this pretty much exactly the same way she did except I have different stamps, flowers and die cuts than she has.  It is so beautiful!  This paper is to die for.  I think I have said that before but some papers are prettier than others, right?

Beautiful Birthday Card Fan Card

 This is the box fan card by Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Crafters. I’ve made two and going to teach a group of my friends to make a third. Its stunning! This is for my mother-in-law for her birthday.

Slider Pop-Up Card Valentine’s Day

 Here is a slider card where the image pops up. It’s just a little bit different than I usually make of this card and I like it much better! It slides so much easier. The gnome is from the same creator of the cupcakes and mailboxes etc. on CreativFabrica. I am enjoying all these downloads , I paid $30 for the whole year and each of these would be $3-4 on etsy. I have downloaded fancy fold cards for my Scan n Cut too. Plus very cool fonts. 

Lovely and Beautiful Birthday Card

 This is the new Stampin Up Lovely and Beautiful paper and dies (flowers). Rose Coleman offered this tutorial, the colors are so pretty! The frame dies are an older set I already had, no sense buying the new one since it is pretty similar. Oh and the strange images are because I cant upload the photos lately so I am copying them from my photos on my phone and pasting them here. Hopefully this will be sorted out soon!

Sweet Valentines Card

 I have been enjoying these sweet cutouts that I printed from CreativFabrica. This card was made to go with the explosion box of chocolates. Just a simple pop-up that peek-a-boos out the side.

Valentine Card Folio

 Another Folio card but this one is different.  Once again a YouTube video by Ngoc Vang called 4 in 1.  She gives very clear step by step directions.  I used Stampin Up DSP called Made with Love and the cut out prints from CreativFabrica.  I cant tell you how much fun these challenging card are for me!  

Valentine Explosion Box Gift With Candy

 This is a normal explosion box that I altered measurements to fit the candy bars. I downloaded the cute images from CreativeFabrica and printed them on coated printer cardstock and wow, what a difference! That paper printed so nicely. Then I fussy cut them because I didn’t have the time or patience to deal with my Scan n Cut. That thing is so difficult. I had to do “the matt hack” which works so that problem is solved. I have to draw with a pencil around the images which the scanner may or may not recognize. Then mess with trying to get the cut lines right. Then hope that it doesn’t tare the paper as it cuts! Yes, I have had success occasionally but I can fussy cut them faster than all this! 

I used Stampin Up DSP called Made with Love and real red cardstock.  The box is three layers  

Valentine “Love Machine”

 Sam Calcott has a YouTube video making this, she is so clever! She is in the UK. Easy to make, just 14 boxes are a bit tedious to make but I didnt mind. Anyway this is so fun, you pull out the little boxes on each day leading up to Valentines Day and get a treat!  

Here is the “machine” as it stands then…

You lift the tab up following the arrow and you can access the boxes. 

DIY Surprise Card Thank You Card

 This is what the card is called on YouTube if you want to look for the directions. I liked making it, didn’t take too long. Decorating took twice as long! That’s always the hard part. I used the Cute as a Bug set from Stampin Up  oh and I scrambled the wording as I wrote a thank you note before I took pictures!  It looks like weird black squiggles. Anyway its cute when the little tabs pop up with the bugs.

Card Folio with Cute as a Bug Designer Paper

 

Remember the card folio I did a few months ago? Well I made another one!  This is a thick and substantial card. 

I will explain the layers.

This is the first layer open.

This is with the sides fully open, they fold out twice and also the bottom folded open.

This is with the note card pulled out.

This is the back of the card opened up. Thanks for looking!

Valentine Explosion Box with lots of Pockets

This box was quite a lot of little extras! All the pockets and things to go in them, it was so much fun to create.  I followed a video on YouTube called Vintage explosion box tutorial.  Her step by step instruction was perfect!  All in centimeters and no voice just good written pictures in the video.  I am going to try to point out and explain the pockets a little bit under each picture.

Outside of box, made an easel to prop up the heart.

Opened, see the next box inside.

First box fully opened, you can see all four flaps with their tuck-ins.

This is with all of the tuck-ins pulled out. starting at 12:00 the pink flap lifts then there is a three layer fold out which zig zags to open. You can put pictures, stickers, write notes, etc.  At 3:00 there are two little note papers to pull out. At 6:00 two more little notes that are folded in half to pull out and it opens to a note area inside. At 9:00 is a little shutter card that has two sides when you open it.

This is the second box opened up showing the 5 additional pockets.

At 12:00 you lift the tab and the heart opens up to a 3 layer pull out note paper. At 3:00 the red band slides off and the envelope opens to expose and little note card to pull out.  At 6:00 is a waterfall card. Slide it sideways and each page opens up.  At 9:00 the 4 curved pieces open up to a note card. lots of places to put notes or pictures etc. available!

This is the center of the box, it opens with three pieces of paper that on the diagonal opens up to a place for four more notes or pictures etc. of your choice.

I loved making this, waiting for some paper to be shipped to make another one!
