My lovely niece, Eleanor, contacted me recently and asked if I would make a birthday card for her to give to her mum (my sister).
She wanted me to somehow include ‘super’ as a reference to, not only to her getting closer to an age when she can access her superannuation, but to her work as an economist.
It was a fun project to make and it’s in the mail so that Elle has time to send it to Karen.
The only problem is, I now need to make a different card to send to Karen!
It has been ages since I made a pop up box.
I wanted the card to be bright and shiny, so I chose some of the BRIGHTLY GLEAMING SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER.
The copper foil looks so striking against the Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy.
I decided to use the PLAYFUL ALPHABET DIES to cut out the letters for Karen’s initials and the word ‘super’.
This is the first time I have used the ENVELOPES DIES to actually cut out an envelope liner – I’ve used for them for all sorts of different projects.
I made this card during my Facebook Live – as they say, two birds with one stone.
These are the measurements, as promised:
CARD BASE 8.5″ x 5″, scored along the long side at 2″, 4″, 6″ and 8″ then, on the short side at 2″.
INSERTS Cut two pieces of card stock #.25″ x 1″ and score at both ends at 5/8″.
DSP Three pieces 2 7/8″ x 1 7/8″; three pieces 1 7/8″ x 1 7/8″
CARD STOCK One piece 4 7/8″ x 1 7/8″
Here is a link to my Facebook Live to see how I made the card – just click.
I hope you like the card as much as my niece does.
Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.
