Now's the time to gather them up, at least 10 at a time, add an envelope, and you don't even need to write a greeting! Just add a sentiment that is needed and voila!

Send them to SCRAPBOOK.COM and they do the rest!

And.. YOU are spreading KINDESS

3 Box Pop-Up Card

Hey Crafters!

It's me Jen Evers and in case you missed it, we made a super cool and EASY wow! card on Friday!

Here is the link if you'd like to watch

Click above!

As promised, here are your measurements!

8 1/2 x 11, score on the 8 in. side at 2, 4, 6, and 8

Turn to the long side and cut 2 at 2 in. and 1 at 4 in.

You'll need 10 squares 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 (solid color)

and 6 pieces 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (pattern paper)

2 pieces of white approx. 2 1/2 x 1 1/2

(Make these just smaller than your sentiment!)

Lastly, make your sentiment slightly larger to cover the white pieces!

Picking 1 paper as a background for everything,

1 paper for a dark background behind your squares,

and 1 pretty pattern paper, will help!

Try to make them "Matchy, Matchy"!

These also fold down flat for easy mailing!

FUSION / Creativity just took a giant leap forward!

Double your ideas with this awesome blog!

I love having the picture, a sketch, or the whole

kit n kaboodle to choose from!

I used a mix of Close to My Heart stamps (for the dragonfly), and a simple cloud stencil with two different Distress Oxide colors:

Dusty Concord

Peeled Paint

To finish up, I added a few gems for interest.

My Favorite Things Create and Share for a chance to win!!

COME JOIN US AT MY FAVORITE THINGS!

Challenging myself to do something a little out of

my comfort zone, I lined up some ideas ahead of time here.

Additional inking on the sides makes the layers pop more.

Another peek at middle steps.

Here I'm adding gems, stickles and flair! I used Field Notes

Ephemera from Tim Holtz!

I love me some Timmy!

Nuvo Glitter and Metallics topped off the special additions

to make it Sparkle!

Two close ups to show some

amazingly magical detail!

Finished card!

Don't you love it? I added Tattered Rose spray to the

cheese cloth and shaded down the butterfly with ink so it

wasn't so bright.

Thank for hanging out with me today as

I tried "SHABBY CHIC"

xoxo Jen

Copying is sometimes the best flattery! CAS(E) a card today!

CAS(E) this Sketch #363

Not much time to play along this time Crafters!

Click on the blue lettering above to be whisked away to

their magical CAS(E) kingdom for next time!

And now..

for my create card, casing their sketch!

A few tools used:

1. chevron embossing folder

2. Nuvo shimmer powders

3. Circle punches

4. black paper / white cardstock

5. Final touch with stickles (diamond)

I ran the black through the embossing folder, and punched out the circles after excessively dousing the paper with Nuvo shimmer powders and a TON of water.

SUPER FUN!
