Hi friends! I am participating in this week's challenge Birthday Celebration at Wplus9. This week Dawn wants us to "stretch it" and make something outside of our comfort zones. If you visit my blog often you know I like to make Clean & Simple cards.
I have seen these cute box cards all over blog land and have been wanting to make one. They seemed too complicated and I thought they would take too long to put together. Surprisingly, this was pretty easy to do. It does take some time though. I love that these fold and fit into a reg. size envelope. I used my color coach for the color combo.
I thought this would be a perfect card to send to a new mom. :)

ReplyDeleteOMG i love these birght colors,,,,,,,,waht a supberb contrast Kristie,,,,,,,,,,Take a look to my Kewpies,,,,,category to use in these kind of projects and feel free to ask me your free sheet if you like them ......wowwww.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?! This is awesome! I've been intimidated by these exploding boxes, but if you say it's do-able I just might give it a try. Love those little hearts popping out of the box. They look like they're floating.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristie! Thanks for enlightening me! I must me living under a really big rock cuz I have never seen a box card! And it seriously folds down to fit into an envelope?
ReplyDeleteI love these colors together...which also makes me think that it is time to pull out my color coach from wherever it is that I have put it!!! Polka dots and stripes - my absolute favorite.
Awesome, awesome creation Krisite! I can just image how thrilled the mama of a new wee one would be when she opens up the envelope and reveals this treasure!
Now I'm off to search out a box card tutorial! Have a great weekend :)
Beautiful card, any new Mum would love to receive such a great celebration of her little one :)
ReplyDeleteHow FUN is this Kristie...Out of the box, those hearts. Love this <3
ReplyDeleteKristie this is such a fantastic project, LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun project! I love the cheerful colors and all the hearts :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! I love making these.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable Kristie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun box :) love the color combo !!
ReplyDeleteThis is just too cute...so fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is such fun. Love the colors and the whole idea of a card that pops up like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is darling!! I love the fun colors you used. If you don't mind, can you share a link to the tutorial? I would love to make one of these for my nephew!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous, Kristie. I see these popping up everywhere, and they are on my long list of cards to try. You exceeded excellently! I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh, you made one! I've been thinking about trying that too but it seemed overwhelming. Bet it was fun and it sure should make your Mom happy.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute...I have been admiring these on Split Coast Stampers...but I've been afraid to try one...so now that you say they are easy...smile...maybe I'll be brave and give it a try...Thanks for the inspiration with your lovely box card!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, I think you just inspired me to set up out of my usually CAS comfort zone!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun idea. It looks great! I made an exploding box once for a wedding to hold a gift card,it was a lot of work, and I've never done it again. But I like the idea of a more simple card box like this one. So much more interesting and fun than a card.
ReplyDeleteGreat Card! I love it! What type of wire did you use to get the hearts to stand up so well?
ReplyDeleteHi Robin, I used window sheets to hold up the hearts. :)
