Hi Stampers, sorry I’ve been MIA so much lately. Just because I haven’t been blogging as much, doesn’t mean I’m not making lots of cards. I guess I just get a bit discouraged when I don’t get comments and assume nobody is reading my posts… So, any little comment you could leave may go a long way in making me post more often.
Today’s card is a card in a box explosion card that I made as a special order for a co-worker. He met his girlfriend on an online website (the back image is the logo from that website). The heart is half American flag (he’s American) and half Russian flag (she’s Russian). The words on one side are the first he ever typed to her and the words on the other site are the first she ever typed to him. How cute is that???
He ordered this card to give to her for their first anniversary.
This was a fun card to make and he loved it! He says she loved it as well. So, that makes me very happy! You can see more about how to make my explosion box card and find a video and PDF tutorial on a previous post.
Here is a link to my PDF instructions and I also have a YouTube video (caution, the sound is a little low and one measurement I mention wrong – but have pop up words with the correction. Be easy on me, it was my first EVER YouTube video.)
This card used Rich Razzleberry ink and the Flower Shop stamp set by Stampin’ Up! I also used the Heart, Pansy, Bitty Butterfly and Elegant Butterfly punches by Stampin’ Up!
Happy Stamping,
I love your card and thank you for the PDF.
You are most welcome. Thank you for following my posts. 🙂
Love love it! What a unique idea. Casing as I type! Lol
Thank you. Using their first conversation was his idea. But, it sure was a good one!
What a great project and lovely story! I do follow you regularly but most of the time I am on a time schedule and don’t take the time to comment. But, I do enjoy your work.
Thank you! Good to know I’m not sitting here typing to myself… LOL

Look at your cards every day…you do beautiful work. You are appreciated …keep up the great works.. I get a lot of inspiration from you.
Thank you. That’s nice to hear.
One of the joys of handmade cards is fine tuning for special people and events. You hit a home run with this card! I’m sure this will become a keepsake for her:)
Yes, I love to “fine tune”. It makes it just that much more special! Thank you!
Please don’t stop posting! You are one of my favorites! I have made your card in a box numerous times lately – lots of special birthdays!
Awe… that’s so sweet. Thank you!
You are the most creative stamping blogger that I follow. I love all of your 3d projects. Please keep posting!
Wow, thank you! I wasn’t fishing for compliments… really! I just wanted to know I wasn’t “talking to myself”… LOL
I have made your explosion card for my husband’s birthday. He loved it. Thank you. I love your ideas and you are very talented. 🙂
How fun to know someone is actually using my tutorials. I’m glad he liked it – that makes me happy!
