PPA 123 & Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! This weeks Pals Paper Arts Challenge was to get dressed up like Fred Astaire…

I decided that I would do a Valentine’s Day card in a rich color, but not your typical card. I give you the 3D box card. The card is cut from a 12 x 5 1/2 piece of Whisper White Card Stock. The windows were cut out using my trusty Paper Cutter. It folds flat and can be put in a standard A2 envelope. I used the new Take It to Heart Set  for the far image from the Occasion Mini Catalog that you can order from starting January 4, 2012. I stamped it in Rich Razzleberry and also used the same color Card Stock. The Silver Glimmer Paper was cut out using the new Framelits Hearts Collection also from the new Occasions Catalog along with the sentiment from the P.S. I Love You Stamp Set. Finally I used the new Adorning Edge Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the hearts along the bottom of the card. For the perfect finishing touch I added some Basic Jewel Rhinestones to the top left corner. I am very happy with the way this card came out and hope that you like it too! Thanks for stopping by.
