No Bones About It Mini Pop Up Card in a Box! with Stampin' Up's Tiny Treat Boxes.

Hellooo!
I am super late posting today as I had a fun card class this morning and a few bit to do this afternoon. So, I am here now before I go to work this evening with another mini pop up card in a box. You may notice that I am (still) loving these and I'm sure this won't be the last you see of them. If you want to watch the video with directions, tips and measurements for how to make your own version of these cards  then please visit THIS POST.
OK, so here is todays version using No Bones About It....
 For this version I used pretty coloured Washi Tape to decorate the outside of the box, 
 with more washi tape on the top of the lid (instead of stamping) which I continued all the way around the inside ;-)
 So, I wanted to use this card to make a dinosaur card in girly-er colours rather than the usual more masculine browns and/or blues usually seen. Because girls like dinosaurs too!! ...and sparkly sequins ;-)
 OK, I'm going to admit a boo boo here. I thought I had picked up the Rose Red ink pad to stamp these bones over the pink pirouette solid but I actually had grabbed Real Red. I (surprisingly) like this combo even though it wasn't something I would have planned, what do you think? Be honest..... ;-)
 I used a lot of different coloured ink pads for this card but you could easily make it in a much simpler colour combo.
and I added a secret message in the bottom of the box too
 So, I hope you liked today's card? and I'll be back tomorrow with a new Two Minute Tuesday Video for you so don't forget to stop by :-)
Thanks for looking today.

Mini Pop Up Card in a Box using Stampin' Up's Guy Greetings

Hello!
This post is all about Guy Greetings again, this is such a great stamp set for men's cards :-) 
Today's card is the one I made for my FiL for Father's Day and I forgot to share with you at the time! I love these mini pop up cards and I have lots of fun ideas to use them so lets start with this men's design, (you could easily change out the fathers day sentiment for a birthday one) and I also decorated a matching bag to go with it...
*Note: You can see how to make these pop up cards in my VIDEO TUTORIAL HERE*
 I added Washi around the outside to decorate the box, as before
 Stamped the top of the box
 and this is how it unfolded
 The card as it was pulled out. Notice the little spots? They aren't in Guy Greetings so do you know where they are from?? Yep, they are from the Sweet Stack stamp set!!
and of course I stamped the bag to match too...
I sure hope boys like ribbon too ;-) 
Well, Dad said he did anyway! lol
So, I hope you've enjoyed today's post and this different version of a mini pop up card? 
'Till tomorrow,

Video Tutorial: Tiny Treat Box Mini Pop Up Card using Butterfly Basics by Stampin' Up!

Hello!
I'm here today with a little, fun card in a box. This is quite different from the others I have made recently and you find a lot of online as this one really does "Pop up"! I follow Dawn Bourgette, a demo from the US on Instagram and just loved this idea, you can see Dawn's card HERE. Thanks for the inspiration Dawn! Obviously I really wanted to make this card but unfortunately there were no measurements on Dawn's post and as I made it I figured out a few more tips and tricks so I thought I would make a video and share these with you!
 I decided to use the Butterfly Basics Stamp set for my design...
I made the Mint Macaron and Tip Top Taupe one in the Video but we made the Cantaloupe* and Pistachio* at class. Here they are closed, wrapped in washi tape (see Washi on page 157 of the Annual Catty) to decorate these boxes. 
* now retired colours
 The lids are decorated with Work Of Art Stamps for the sentiment teamed with the Butterfly Basics. 
**In a total coincidence Work Of Art is on Offer for this week only- Just £15 (in clear mount) 'till the 30th June '15**
 As you open the boxes the Jack in the box card starts to pop up, just pull the thick twine...
 To see your message!
 I love the Tip Top Taupe and Mint Macaron version
 Please feel free to pin this picture so you can easily find this tutorial again :-)
OK, lets take a look at the video!
The measurements for the inner piece as promised on the video, 
*Please note I have not made this card in inches- just converted the measurements!
Cut white card to 4.7cm wide or 1+7/8" x full length of card.
Score at 4.5cm or 1+3/4"
Stamp Now!
Then score at 9cm, 13.5cm, 18cm, 22.5cm and 27cm or
3.5", 5+3/8", 7+1/8", 8+7/82, 10+5/8"
These measurements make a lot more sense when you watch the video and there are also a few measurements that matter when stamping in there too!
 And finally one more set of pictures to finish today :-)
Well, this post has been something of a labour of love so I really hope you have enjoyed this card in a box post! and be sure to give it a whirl. If you do please link back here so I can see and remember to share where you saw this tutorial too!
Thanks so much for stopping by today :-)
