ANOTHER CARD MADE FROM THE BOUTIQUE BOXES PRINTED KIT

Yesterday and today I am showing you the cards I made from the Boutique Boxes Designer Printed Kit (pg 25 from the Spring Catalog,  $7.95 plus S&H) This kit was so fun to work with and to see all the things included in this kit.  It is originally put together to make 8 gift card holders with 8 mini note cards included.  But all the wonderful dies, baker's twine, buttons, dimensionals, etc. included  makes it a perfect kit for making additional cards as well.

 I used summer starfruit card stock as the card base.  The border on the left is two different die cuts included in the set.  The kraft with polka dots paper is actually part of the gift card holder that I cut and then distressed the edges for my dsp layer.  (If you don't have the distressing tool, you NEED to get it.  Makes easy work of distressing the edges of CS, dsp, etc.)

I used my French Foilage stamp set for the water marks on the card base.  I used crumb cake for the ink.  Then I put three pieces of baker's twine behind the layer before adhering with the dimensionals.  You can see the dimensional on the left because I am taking the photo from the left.  But it does not show looking straight at the card.

 Here is a close up of the main focal point of the card.  The doily die cut is next on the dsp layer, followed by a scallop die cut and then a circle die cut.  I tied two tags together with bakers twine and stamped with gray a small key from the retired set called Elementary Elegance.  You could stamp a small "TO YOU" or "HELLO", etc. here.

I thought the key was really a sweet hint that someone has the key to my heart!~

One final look at the card.  You know, I am going to remove that one dimensional - it is bugging me that you can see it from the left side.  grrr.  But it is easy to remove and now I feel better!!  :-)

BOUTIQUE BOXES KIT ALSO MAKES CARDS

I used the Boutique Boxes Designer Printed Kit (pg 25 from the Spring Catalog $7.95 plus S&H)  to make some fun cards for my next card class.  This kit includes notecards, gift card holders, buttons, bakers twine, dimensionals, and die cutes like borders, feathers, buttons, scallops, tags and so much more.  It is a fun kit and it can make so many more things than the gift card holders.

 I designed this one from the feather inspiration.  I cut the border die cut in half and used that at the top.  Then I poked out the feather die cuts and used the negative image as a stencil and used crumb cake ink and sponged inside the negative image.  You see a little bit of white on the top stenciled image - that is because I thought I would craft vanilla ink and it did not look good.  So I switched to crumb cake and thought I covered it all, but it "bled" through a little bit.  I will keep this for my "template" and make another one to send out.  Do you do that too?  If it has a small mistake, smudge, etc, keep it as a "template" to remember how to make another one to give away?

I put a score line down the two solid feathers and glued only one side of them down. The printed feather is totally glued down.  I used the die circle and the button and bakers twine.  I used my Itty Bitty Banners stamp set for the sentiment and stamped it on summer starfruit cs with gray ink.  I cut out the banner and glued it in a wave" for some added height and texture. Also tied twine on that banner.

Hope you enjoyed this card from the Boutique Boxes Kit in the Summer Catalog.  Stay tuned tomorrow for another card made from this kit.  This was so fun to have almost all the supplies in front of me before I started creating with them.  I AM LOVING THESE KITS.
