Crate of Wine

I haven't made too many of these box cards. They're not difficult, but they are time consuming. I totally copied this one from the Papercraft Essentials magazine that included the stamp and die set.

Leaves

A Scrapbook and Cards Today April Challenge on their Facebook group to make a card using this method.
  • mask off a square or rectangle in the middle of the card
  • using various stamps (they used flowers and leaves) and colours, stamp around the border of the masked off area
  • once that's done, remove the mask and use the blank area to add a sentiment.
I think this will make a great masculine card.
