Watch the video, then see the measurements I used to build the card below. You can, of course, refine the measurements based on dies you currently own... or use a circle die... or a heart die... etc. Measurements: The card base is an A2 card size (8.5" x 5.5"... folded in half to be 4.25" x 5.5" side folding).

Hint: Line up the patterned paper onto the card base and secure with a small piece of removable ta

But I simply had to share this story with you... My "craft room" is really just a space I have claimed in one side of our unfinished basement. My hubby uses the other side of the basement for his workout weightlifting room.  Back when we first bought our house we cleaned up the basement and then we created my little craft area. I started small with a worktable and a few supplies. You may notice that behind my table are three large mirrors.  We found those mirrors leaning against the wall with a lo

This card allows for 12 different surprises for the recipient to discover. I designed this card with our toddler granddaughter in mind... so that meant making a card that can withstand lots of handling. Watch my video below and see how I did it! Wasn't that fun! Here are some still shots to help you see it better... Busy-box Card She loves "yellow", silly eyes, and to feel soft surfaces. I included other things she likes, too!

You can stick to just a few colors, such as this masculine birthday card. Here is a very simple version using this technique. Here is another example... once you have created the background, have fun with the embellishments!
