Safari Box Card – Interactive Card

By on May 12, 2024 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Safari Box Card Interactive card (and VIDEO) to share! This is a fun and easy project and I’ll show you how in the video below:

This 3D Brooke Card Die set makes it so easy to create this card, complete with layers. I love the variety, too…pair it with ANY stamp set and stencil for a different look each time.

Today I used the 2×2 Safari Animals Die set for the characters and cut them out with the coordinating dies. Then I stenciled the layers with the Unbe-leaf-able stencil for a fun leafy look.

In the video, I show you how to put the whole thing together. I added a gold FIVE in the background because I am actually giving this card to my five year old nephew for his birthday!

To make that toucan look like he’s flying, I used some extra thick acetate and added the toucan then attached it all to the second layer. Isn’t that so cute?

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Mixed Media Magnolia card

Hello! Today I have a new card and video sharing a Mixed Media Magnolia card. This is a fun one to make, I hope you enjoy the video!





Watch it here or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I start with some watercolor cardstock and heat emboss the magnolia images on it using white embossing powder. Next, I brought out an oldie that I haven’t used in a while: Color Bursts! These really are a burst of color, so be judicious in using them. A little goes a long way! (Watch the video to see how to dot this).





I added some extra color inside the magnolias so they were darker when they dried.





Once the entire panel was dry, I stenciled some Distress Oxides over the top. I used the center piece of the Magnolia Frame die to stamp my focal image…the heart mug! See, it pays to keep all your extra pieces. WINK*






		
		
			
			
		
	





I used vellum for the sentiment today and that finished it all off! I hope you had as much fun as I did with this card. 🙂

Citrus Cupcake card

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a Citrus Cupcake card with you, creating my own colors of background patterned paper.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I started off with some foilable paper from Crafty Meraki, but instead of foiling it, I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks! I used colors that reminded me of grapefruit, oranges, and lemons. 





Next, I colored up one of my favorite cupcake stamps with the same colors. Love these colors for Spring and Summer!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I also foiled that Hi hot foil plate sentiment with copper colored foil! I know it’s difficult to tell the foiling and color in these photos…it’s so difficult to capture foil in a picture!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I put it all together with a sentiment from the cupcake stamp set. I just love how it all came together!

Stained Glass Cards

Hello! Today I have some Stained Glass Cards and a video to share! I have two different ways to create a stained glass look…and I love them both. 





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





The first card I made has a light up feature and a vellum “stained glass” window. I love the silver leading on this one, which matches the silver frame of this card.





I used the remainder of the silver cardstock to create the following card:






		
		
			
			
		
	






		
		
			
			
		
	





What?! You don’t see the silver? That’s because I treated it with some Distress Paint in Black Soot. I love how the effect turned out. See it even better in the video!

Hello! Today I’m excited to share a new card and video coloring up some Spotted Orchids. These are among my favorite flowers to color up, and I have a video with my process using new products from Crafty Meraki!





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:














		
		
			
			
		
	





I paired this with a foiled background using the Floral Filigree Effortless Shimmer paper and an orchid colored foil. So pretty in the light!
