A Great Big THANKS for Being YOU Box...Honorable Mention it is...










I was asked to make a special WOW card to house several gift cards as a Thank You... so instead of a plain flat card...I made an exploding box...started with Just Add Ink's colour challenge: Calypso Coral, Soft Sky & Dapper Denim..Gave my punches a good work out, embossed and stamped card stocks and threw in some retired designer series paper and ribbon for good measure....Voila!

Deets: All Stampin Up


EDIT: Just found out that I made Just Add Ink's Honorable Mention for the colour challenge! Sweet, great way to start the morning. Thank you to the JAI peeps for choosing my card. :)

Thanks for dropping by.
Smiles. :)

This is pretty special Sheri! What a fun way to deliver gift cards - I love all the happy owls and banners. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.

This is a wonderful idea - I like how this can house several smaller cards. Lots of work and time invested in this project. Thanks for sharing it with us. Chantell JAI

Hey girlfriend, I see you were up until all hours finishing this awesome explosion box. It is so stinking cute, and I love how you finished off the center of it. You ROCK!

Thank you so much Kim for popping by to have a peek at my card. While I wasn't sure about the colour combination at first, I am so glad that I gave it a try! :)

Thank you Chantell for the blog love. It's been awhile since I've made a 3D card so I am happy with how this one turned out. :)

Such a special gift box, Sheri! So fun and cute and I love how you've incorporated the pockets to hold the gift cards too. So clever! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week :-)

Thank you Jan for dropping by and leaving some blog love. I wanted something different for a gift card holder with a WOW factor..so I just measured the gift card(s) and figured out the pocket size and working with a 12X12 piece of cardstock. :) Looking forward to the next JAI challenge. :)

What a great idea for the gift cards. This box is so adorable and who doesn't like owls and balloons. I still haven't made an exploding box. I will have to give it a try.

Thanks so much Carol for the blog love. I haven't made one of these in ages and it's the first time I made one with pockets. I hope the recipient likes the card! :)
