Guest Blogger: Jen With Card In A Box “Backyard Basics” Style

This hybrid card by Jen Hassloch is so amazeballs that it deserved it's own post!!!

Jen has now completed her hybrid project of a Card In A Box “Backyard Basics” style, and it is now ready to be shown to the World!  

Last night, well early this morning {we finished AGAIN at 1.30am!!!); Jen and I had another card off!

Jen got busy stamping her images from the “Backyard Basics” and “Petite Petals” stamp sets in Black StazOn, then using the Blender Pens to add colour from every colour in my Stampin’ Up! Ink Pad stash, we are talking the Brights, Subtles and 2013-2015 In Colours!!!

Jen used the “Petite Petals” Punch and “Backyard Basics” framelits to cut out her gorgeous images.

The beautiful stamp that says “I think you are amazing just wanna let you know” is from the “Lovely Romance” stamp set has been coloured with Stampin’ Makers, and then cut out using the Big Shot and the “Chalk Talk” framelits

The different flaps on the box, which when folded up, closes the box.

On the reverse of the card, there is room to write s secret message or two!

Folded flat, the card fits in a standard C6 envelope. A nifty trick, that only folding the sides down on 2 of the flaps, when the {lucky} recipient opens the envelope, they are surprised by all the colours and dimensions on this gorgeous card…
