Stampin Up How to make fun interctive card with mini envelopes & patterned paper

Hello and welcome to Amethystarcrafting. My name is Jane Allmark and I'm a UK Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator.

Our project today is using Speciality Designer Series Paper (DSP) and mini envelopes to create a fun and interactive card.  Open the little envelope to reveal a little message card.

Did you know that you can make any size envelope even tiny little ones with the

ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD. This cute little envelope was made using a piece of Speciality Designer Series Paper measuring 3.5" square and punched at 1.5"

To make any size envelope take a square piece of cardstock or DSP and just divide it in half to find where the first punch will be

• 3" x 3" punch at 1.5" to make a 1.5" envelope
• 2" x 2" punch at 1" to make a 1" envelope
• 4" x 4" punch at 2" to make a 2" envelope.

These are little square envelopes but are perfect for putting on a card with a little message inside.

Watch the video to see how to make these lovely cards

Painted With Love Speciality DSP 

This paper is whilst stocks last so buy some now as it is just gorgeous with the gold foil.

The stamp set I used for the little heart and leaf were from the Ribbon of Courage Bundle. This is such a great stamp set and coordinating dies as there are some beautiful hearts, flowers and leaves which are just right for little embellishments

For anyone who is a cancer survivor or is currently battling cancer what better way than to send a card with the Ribbon Of Courage.  The sentiments are lovely and I use Sending Hugs and Kisses on lots of projects as it says it all.

Magical Day Clear Mount Stamp set. is one of the sets I will be most sorry to see retire.  Yes it is retiring so I urge you if you like fantasy with unicorns, mermaids and dragons then grab yourself this set before it is gone.

I fussy cut the little unicorn for the envelope from the gorgeous Myths and Magic DSP. This is Speciality paper as it is covered with sparkle and glimmer making the little fantasy characters really pop.  Again it is while stocks last so get in there fast.

The pretty twine that I used to tie the little envelopes is Silver Bakers Twine which is white twine with a silver thread running through it and is just perfect for tying the mini envelopes together with a bow so they can be opened to reveal the little message inside and then tied up again.

Thank you so much for continued support here and on my YouTube channel.

Stampin Up Magical Day. is such a lovely bundle with Unicorns, Wizards, Dragons and Knights giving the perfect fairy tale images to use for many different types of cards.

Hello and welcome to Amethystarcrafting. My name is Jane Allmark and I'm a UK Independent Stampin Up Demonstrator.

MAGICAL DAY BUNDLE. is such a great set with Unicorns, Dragons, Mermaids and Knights to create some beautiful mythical cards and projects.

How to make a Magical Day Unicorn card 

• Stamp 3 unicorns is Basic Black ink and colour using Stampin Blends. To achieve the pink outline use the Pink Pirouette dark Blend and the Lifter around the edge to give a soft outline to the Unicorn.
• Mount on Painted With Love Speciality Dsp. this paper has lovely gold embossing and the hearts work perfectly for this project.
• The sentiment is from Ribbon of Courage bundle. with the heart framelits die.
• To make this card pop each of the elements are mounted on gold die cuts and then a drop shadow is created to give a gold edge.  For the heart I cut out two gold hearts and mounted them under the sentiment to give a complete gold edge.
• The finished card was mounted on some Calypso Coral cardstock and on a Whisper White card base.

What is a "Drop Shadow" and how to create one.

Drop shadow is term for creating a layer of colour underneath a topper element by cutting an exact image using the same framelits or dies and then gluing them together slightly off centre to either the right or left to create the drop shadow.  The unicorns and the heart in the above card all used the drop shadow technique.
