Today I have a berry sweet card to share using the adorable Strawberry Jam Emma stamp.

I created my card on a 5"x7" base & die cut some panels & layered. I used a scalloped die for the background of my image. I created a strawberry shaker by layering my strawberry die cut mutliple times till I got the desired height & filled some shaker sprinkles inside then covered the top with acetate & lastly another red die cut. I cut & ink blended my leaf die cuts. I fussy cut my image after colouring & adhered using foam squares for dimension. I then glued all my die cut pieces including the shaker into place. Lastly I added the sentiment & some sprinkles to embellish.

Box Card Rainbow Unicorn

Hello Crafty friends, today I want to share how I made this cute Rainbow Unicorn Box Card with you!

For my card I chose the Box Card Rainbow (SVG, Silhouette). The Rainbow card is cute on its own, but I wanted to add a little touch of magic to my card, so I have also added the Unicorn from the Unicorn Card (SVG, Silhouette).

To start I opened both files on separate pages in Silhouette. I then copied & pasted my unicorn to the page with the Box Card Rainbow. From here I was able to resize the Unicorn to fit with my Rainbow as the original was a lot larger.

I wanted this to be a Birthday card, so I swapped out the sentiment by typing a new one using the Samantha Craft font then I print & cut.

To start I glued the little black piece to the back of Unicorn shape that has the holes cut for the eye & nostril. Then I added more glue & pasted this on top of the solid Unicorn shape.

After cutting all my pieces I glued the coloured panels onto my white corresponding pieces.

I then folded the tabs on my Rainbow shapes. The back & middle pieces I folded to the front. The small one at the front I folded to the back. Next I glued them all into place one at a time starting from the back, by first doing one side then gently folding the card flat as I go to make sure it placed evenly before I glued the tab on the other side. 

Then I added some foam squares to the back of the Unicorn & front Rainbow/Cloud & Cloud pieces to get some dimension on the card.

Lastly I adhered the cloud pieces & my Unicorn onto the card & finished off with some Star & Heart enamel stickers to embellish.

The box card folds flat to fit into 5x7 envelope!

I love how this turned out!

Happy Birthday Creator

 Hello Crafty Friends, today I have a card to show you using this month's new release from RAM Stamps called Happy Birthday Creator. 

On my card I have used the Critters & Flowers & Elements from the Happy Birthday - Numbers Creator & Sentiment from the Happy Birthday - Sentiments Creator digital stamps.

This set is so versatile as you can make multiple cards with completely different looks.

I started out by sizing & printing my images onto X-Press It blending paper. I printed the sentiment & critters separately on one side of the page as I was going to use this as the panel & cut it to 4 3/4 x 6 3/4. I then fussy cut my flowers & coloured them with copics. After arranging my flowers I adhered them onto my panel & used some foam squaires on some of the flowers to give dimension. I placed my panel onto a blue frame. Lastly I glued some clear beads & Sprinkles to embellish & added some Wlink of Stella for sparkle.

Copics:

Purple: BV000, BV00

Yellow: YR0000, Y21

Year of the Dragon

 Hello Crafty Friends, I have a new release to show you today & this month RAM Stamps is celebrating the Year of the Dragon with 5 adorable new digital stamps & a coordinating digital paper pack.

Each Dragon stamp comes with an Element from within the Chinese Zodiac; Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal & Water. Today I am using Dragon Fire, Dragon Metal & Dragon Water digital stamps.

It is a tradition in many Asian cultures to give red envelopes containing money for luck during celebrations, so follow along today as I share with you how I made these cute money envelopes.

What You Need: 

1 x Red Cardstock (Panel) 8 1/2" x 7 3/4"

2 x Gold Metalic Cardstock 7 5/8" x 3 3/8" 

2 x Patterned Paper 7 1/2" x 3 1/4" 

1 x Gold Metalic Cardstock 7 5/8" x 1 3/8 " 

1 x Patterned Paper 7 1/2" x 1 1/4"

1 x Red Cardstock (Band) 8" x 1 1/4"

1 x Gold Metalic Scalloped Circle Die Cut

Place the panel on a score board sitting the longest side, (8 1/2"), horizontally. Score the panel at 1 1/2" & 5". Next burnish along the score lines & open flat. Now add 2 small strips of double sided tape inside the top edge & bottom edge of the shortest scored fold as pictured, then flip in towards the center to adhere into place. This now creates the pocket to hold money. Now fold closed your envelope like a card & set aside.

Before the next step print your digital patterned paper of choice, I have used A4 160gsm paper. The digital papers I have chosen for my envelopes are Circles, Lantern & Dragon.

After cutting to size, adhere the patterned papers onto the gold metallic cardstock to create the cover panels. Now adhere the large cover panels to the outside front & back of your card. Adhere the small cover panel inside your envelope on the short folded flap that holds the money. Close your card & wrap the band around your card & adhere the 2 ends together. Make sure the belly band slides freely across your envelope & is not too tight or loose. Next die cut your coloured images with a circle die. Then adhere onto the metallic scalloped die cut. Attach this to the center of the belly band covering where the two ends join on the front of the envelope. 

Copics:

Dragons: C5, R00, R22, R24, R27, R29, E00, E21, E23, N1, N4, N6, N8

Sword & Shield: N1, N4, N6, N8, E97, Y11, Y15, Y17

Rain Clouds: BG10, BG11, BG13

Fire: E97, Y11, 15, 17
