Happy Monday Friends, It’s Anushree here again as a guest on the SugarPea Blog with my third card for the month.
I am quite excited today as I have made a Box card using the cutest stamp set Captain of My Heart and combined it with Treasure Map stencil.
To make my card, first I started making the box frame. I took a Green Cardstock and cut it to 2″ x12″ and scored on 2″, 4″, 8″, 10″ in order. This makes the front lower portion for my card.
Next, I cut 4 strips of 4 1/2″ x 1/2″. Score each strip on the sides at 1/4″ and glue them one after another like stacking them on the sides.
From the top view, these strips will be aligned horizontally leaving a gap of 1/4″ between each.
Then, I took a Kraft cardstock of size 5 1/2″ x 4″ and distressed the edges in Vintage Photo distress ink. I used a white card stock and stenciled Treasure Map; I have tried some pencil shading on the edges of the stenciled image to provide some depth to it. I have fussy cut the map to adhere on Kraft cardstock base. After that I attached this piece to the back joining the lower green cardstock.
I stamped the images on Neenah Cardstock in Memento Black Tuxedo ink and colored in Copics.
Everything as seen in the pictures is attached using clear glue and foam tape.
Lastly, I heat embossed the sentiment in white powder on red cardstock with size 3 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ and attached it on Kraft cardstock size 3 3/4″ x 1 1/2″. I adhered this to the main card base.
My card folds flat and fits well in 5 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ envelope and that also makes it easy to post.
Hope you enjoyed this card. I understand the card is bit complicated due to measurements but it’s truly fun to try something like this.
See you next Monday with another fun inspiration, till then happy crafting!!
Hugs, Anushree
