The Envelobox Creater - Bebunni Gift Card Set

I made this Greeting card set and gift envelop box with The Ultimate Tool and The Envelobox Creator.







 To make this lovely gift, I followed the directions in The Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD.  I made the envelopes for the A2 size note cards with the The Ultimate Craft Tool. NOTE: you can get a deal with the The Boxer and Envelobox Creator Bundle with Advanced Techniques DVD.

The Boxer

I made this elegant accordion box file with The Ultimate Tool and The Boxer Board. It's actually a simple project and once you've mastered the basic design steps, you can make it any size you want.



It was easy and fun to make by following the directions on The Ultimate Advanced Construction Techniques DVD.  This would be a really cute gift box for gift cards or coupons. When my children were little, they would give me coupons to help around the house, wash my car or listen. :) I still have some of those - I need to use them!

The Boxer allows you to measure, score and fold accurately. One side is in inches and the reverse side features metric (cm) measurements. The lines at each edge are engineered differently to enable you to create custom size boxes with ease. You can use it to create boxes and more! For boxes, simply use two identical size pieces of cardstock, and this board will make your lid slightly larger to fit perfectly over your box base. Designed to work with your Ultimate Crafter’s Companion Tool, but can also be used as a stand-alone product.

Crafter Companion Supplies Used:
Complete supplies included at the bottom. The little glass leaf embellishments came from my stash.

Sheena New Release - Available Now!

Today is the day Sheena's new release comes out - woohoo! There are 10 brand new stamp sets and 14 coordinating die sets.  My design is made using the stamp set Sheena Douglass Perfect Partners - The Country Life and matching die set Sheena Decorative Metal Die - Loosestrife.


The main images were stamped onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and colored with Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils and Spectrum Noir Blending Solution. I touched the pencil tips directly to the blending solution on a sponge. In the darker areas, I held the pencil close to the tip and applied firm pressure. For the lighter areas, I held the pencil further from the tip and applied a lighter pressure, blending in small circles where light and dark met.

Tractor and grass: 017, 027, 044, 051, 112, 114, 120



sky: 074, solution and Spectrum Noir Paper Stumps


loosetrife flower: 029, 036, 044, 051, 054. I used my eBosser to cut out the die.

Sheena Perfect Pairs - Introducing New Die Cuts

I'm so excited to share a design featuring Sheena's new stamp images and matching dies! If you visit my blog, you know that I am a huge fan of Sheena. I also love designing scenes. These images are from Sheena Douglass Perfect Partners - Enjoy the Silence. The matching die cut tree is from a set called Sheena Decorative Metal Die - The Old Tree.


The images are stamped onto Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and airbrushed with the eBrush System with Spectrum Noir Markers TB2, DG1, GB2, (air pressure 3 - high pressure for a smoother blend) TN9 (air pressure 1 - low pressure for a more speckled/textured look). TIP: always test on a scrap piece of paper before brushing onto your good piece.


I used my eBosser to cut the tree die. I edged around the tree with a black water-based marker.  With Sheena's new release, there are 10 stamp sets and 14 coordinating die sets. It's coming very soon!! The finished card size is 5 1/4" square.
