Hello stampers and happy Wednesday to you! Today I am showing you a most lovely card called a Box Fold Card. This card was brought to my attention by one of my loyal followers and she asked me to do my take on it. When I checked out the link that she sent me, I loved the card just the way it was. Then I realized that I did not have 8 1/2 by 11″ cardstock here in the Netherlands, I only had A4 cardstock which is longer and narrower (approximately 8 1/4″ by `11 3/4″. That meant I had to recreate the fold with metric measurements. This also meant that I had to adapt the card because the closing mechanism no longer worked. Huge thanks to Beverlee Morales for the incredible design of this card.
Don’t you just love how this box fold card matches my lovely new blouse? Purely coincidental but it really does make me very happy! Bubble Bath is just the most ethereal shade of pink!

How exciting!! The new annual Stampin’Up! catalog is now “live” which means you can get all the new in colors and core colours as well as a host of beautiful new stamp sets and accessories and paper.

Hello stampers. Happy Tuesday to you! Soon I am going to be offering a different type of In Color Club. The first one is called “Look and Touch”. My idea is to introduce the new colours gradually. First you will get the cardstock, a ribbon share and a half pack of in color designer series paper as well as the in color gems. By looking and touching, you will see which colours you like. Then you can decide if you want to join in on part two of the In Color Club.
In Color Club Part One
I made what I think is a very cute sampler showing the new Stampin’Up! In Colors to perfection. One of the things that sets mine apart from many that you will see online is that I have stamped off the image so you can see what it looks like in a lighter tone. Sometimes we forget that we get multiple colours with each ink pad! Seeing the ribbon alongside the cardstock is also really helpful!
I used the Stylish Shapes dies and the new Cheerful Daisies set to make this sampler. My in color gems have not yet arrived, but when they do I will add them for a pretty finishing touch. The labels on the right were coloured with Blends so you can also see what they look like.
Want to Make One of Your Own?
If you want to make one of your own, it might be handy for you to see the backside of this project. You will see that I re-used some cardstock as there are stamped images on the back. Yes, I am frugal!!
I put strips of tear & tape on the back to first add the small banners and the ribbon, and later the larger banners. Then I added extra strips of tear & tape to secure everything and to adhere the backing on. I upcycled again by using the cardstock that came in the package with my new catalog!
