Wildflower Meadow Card + Linky Party Prize

My friend Stacey Schafer (also my former Stampin' Up! demonstrator on my team!) is throwing a party and you're invited!! Stacey is hosting a Linky Party on her blog to celebrate her birthday and you could win one of several amazing prizes if you participate. Among the prizes is a Gingham Garden bundle from me!! Click here to check out the Linky Party on Stacey's blog and find out how you can win!

Here's a card I made with various components of the prize bundle. I love how the Wildflower Meadow embossing folder coordinates with the stamp so you can emboss the stamped image. Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see another card that I made with this stamp.

VIDEO: Pop-Up Presents Birthday Card

I am finally getting caught up after the chaos of Spring Into Stamping! Today I am sharing the video tutorial for the last of the three cards in my March Stamp of the Month Club series for Patterned Party. This card is so bright and fun and the pop-up presents on the inside is just icing on the birthday cake!

Here's the front of the card:

I was inspired by a card created by LeeAnn Greff. I love the pop up presents that she created, but I changed up the dimensions a bit. Watch my video tutorial to learn how to cut the cardstock using the Paper Trimmer to make the pop-up presents inside this card:

LAST DAY for Sale-a-Bration + Sycamore Street Pop Up Dress Card

We made this card in my classes this week. It may look familiar. I used the same idea from this card and adapted it for the larger size. The super fun part is inside:

I love this card. It's definitely a "Julie Card" in its style, but it's not my original design. I CASEd it exactly from a card that I found on display at Leadership Conference. I actually left off the Rich Razzleberry button that was on the original sample. This clean and simple card is easy to mail without the button and won't require extra postage.

VIDEO: Easter Bunny & Chick Triangle Boxes

Aren't these spring favor boxes the cutest!?! I had so much fun turning this triangle box into Easter critters! As I was editing the video, my daughters were brainstorming all kinds of animals that we could make, so stay tuned! I have a feeling we'll be making more this week! [Edited 3/26/13: Check out our other Triangle Box Critters! Part 1 and Part 2]

 

The box is a simple template, that you may have seen before. In fact, I posted a Witch Hat box two years ago that is the same shape (see it here). The idea is the same, the dimensions are just smaller. For the spring favor boxes, I used cardstock that measurements 2-1/2" x 5".

[3-24-13, edited to add: Oh my! As I was cleaning up photos on my computer, I found a photo of a nearly identical bunny box. I guess the idea stuck in my head and I came back to it later and re-created it. I have to give credit where due and the bunny box was inspired by this one on the Inky Antics blog.)

Watch this video to learn how to make the Easter Bunny & Chick Triangle Boxes. They will be the perfect addition to your Easter baskets or table decor this spring!

Bunny Box Supplies: Whisper White cardstock, Pretty in Pink marker & cardstock, Basic Black marker, Large Oval Punch (#119855), Word Window Punch (#119857), Small Oval Punch (#120908) and Pink Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon (#126880)

Collage Curios Soda Pop Top Thank You Card

While trying to design a card for Stamp Club using the Soda Pop Tops, I came up with this card. Something just doesn't feel right about it. (I've been saying that a lot lately, haven't I?) I think it's the stamping and the sentiment I'm not entirely happy with. Perhaps it will inspire you with its layout or color scheme...

Sale-a-bration Favorites: Pretty Petites & Petite Curly Label Punch

I love coordinating stamps and punches, so I was so excited about the Sale-a-bration gift options Pretty Petites and the Petite Curly Label Punch. But the images are sooooo small! I wasn't quite sure what to do with them. I saw a card by Becky Roberts with this layout and knew I had to CASE it. I changed up the colors and tightened up the dimensions. Here's my version:
