Hey crafty pals!  I have a cool box card to share. I had this idea of fitting the PPP mug into the Scallop Box Card , and guess what? It totally worked, and I'm beyond thrilled! So, let's dive into the nitty-gritty. I grabbed some Sage green cardstock and cut out the box card. I assembled the box and added in three inserts and jazzed things up with dies from the Fall Cornucopia and Fall Mug Additions Dies. I used Spellbinders cardstock for all those awesome dies. How adorable is that little fox peeking out of the mug, by the way? And speaking of the mug, I added a sweet design using the Deco Leaves Stencil and some Glacier White Ranges Pigment Ink . Now, here comes the fun part. I used the Fall Mug Additions Dies and Fall Cornucopia Dies to cut out various shapes in different cardstock colors. I glued these on the inserts, creating the cutest autumn scene you ever did see. Next up, I used hot foil to make the Thankful Script shine, cut it with the Thankful Shadow Die, and ...

Hello, crafty friends! Today I am here with a Happy Fall box card that would be so sweet to give to a loved one. For this sunflower-theme card, I used a few PPP stamps. Let’s get started! I first assembled the box card from My Favorite Things in white cardstock. For the panels, I stenciled through the Layered Sunflower Stencils using Distress Oxide Inks in Fossilized Amber, Gathered Twigs, and Mustard Seed. For the grassy inserts, I ink blended them with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink. Next, I stamped, colored, and cut the following images: Cat - Pumpkin Patch Critters Acorn, Small Sunflower - Fall Envelopes Sunflower plants - Potted Sunflowers I then adhered the images onto the box. For the sentiment, I stamped Happy Fall onto the front panel of the box card.  That’s all for this Fall box card. I hope that you like today’s card share and that you’ll create some cards for your family and friends. Have a great day!
