I was inspired by Shelli Gardner’s project from one of her Workshop of a Lifetime Make-n-Takes and modified it to create these 3×3 cards and made a cute scalloped box to put them in. I used the Style Beautiful stamp set for the cards.
For the cards, I started by embossing the large stamp image with clear embossing powder and then using a sponge dauber to softly circle some baja breeze around the image. I stamped another swirl image in certainly celery on certainly celery and then stamped “Life is Beautiful” in early expresso on top and punched it out with the scallop oval punch. I added some early expresso taffeta ribbon and placed it on the card with a dimensional.
I stamped the third swirl image in baja breeze on the envelope and added the sentiment on top in early expresso.
For the scalloped box I started with a 6-1/4″ x 6-1/4″ piece of crumb cake and scored it at 3/4″, 1-1/2″, 4-3/4″, & 5-1/2″ on one side and 3/4″, 4″, and 4-3/4″ on the other side. I have created a video tutorial to show you exactly how to assemble the box. I added a strip of 1/2″ x 4″ strip of baja breeze stamped with the individual Solid Stripes stamp in baja breeze to the top of the box.
Here is a video tutorial that I created to show you exactly how to put the box together and create the cool emboss resist effect on the cards. I have to apologize that it is hard to see the image in the video.
