DRU Box Card How-To

Today, I will be sharing with you how to create a box card that is 3-D folds flat when it is time to mail. 
   I have created diagrams to help with the instructions. 

Your card should look like this. 
   With the 1" strips that you previously cut from the cardstock, trim it down to 4 1/2" with a 1" score line on each end. Glue to the inside of the box. For my example, I did it in a different color so you can see how it should look. 
   With the Frantic Stamper's Strolling Monique I created a layer die cut. Die cut in two different papers and trim the portion you want, here the shoes and dress. I then glued it to the base die cut. The finishing touch to her was coloring the hair with an alcohol marker. 
   To decorate the card base use six 2 1/4" x 2 1/4", three 2 1/4" x  3 3/4", and two 2 1/4" x 6 1/4". Here is the finished card. The Impression Obsession Birthday die in the front.

Stamping with Die Cuts

   It is Friday, May 22, 2020, for those who need the reminder. Today, I will be sharing with you how to create stamps with your dies. 
   All you need is some thin craft foam to create these foam stamps. I used these fun party icons by Frantic Stamper.
   With the foam die cuts, I attached them to a stamping block with a repositionable adhesive. When stamping a word make sure the word is backwards on the stamping block. Treat these like normal stamps. 
   This "Make a Wish" die is amazing since creates is an edger die so that means all those letters stay attached to the bottom part of the cardstock. 

Here is the end result. A custom stamp pattern paper card using dies.
