Stamp with Leigh

Hello, and welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop with sneak peek's from the upcoming Mini Catalog.  The Mini Catalog is organized to help you find products for any 0ccassion and crafting style and is your one stop inspiration for fall and holiday card making and crafting.  You can start shopping the new Mini Catalog September 4th.

My sneak peek features a pop up box card using the More Than Autumn Bundle.  This bundle embraces fall with pumpkins and leaves as well as Christmas with candy canes, gingerbread men and hot cocoa.  This bundle also features a tiny heart and die that could be used for Valentine's Day.  I like having a bundle that can be used for a variety of occasions.

I used Gray Granite for my card base and then added Nest of Winter Designer Series Paper to the flaps and base and for the wrap sections on the cups.  Instead of using Memento Tuxedo Black ink for my images, I used Gray Granite for all the stamped images.  Using Gray Granite gave me a softer look to my images.  I then pulled out Pumpkin Pie, Crumb Cake, Peach Pie, Bronze, and Medium 500 Stampin' Blends to add color and dimension to my images.  Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends alcohol markers make me feel like an artist!

I attached some of the die cuts directly to the base, while other die cuts were attached to thin strips of a Window Sheet and adhered with glue dots.

There's plenty of room for a hand written message on the back of the box.  

This card was so much fun to make!  I have four great-nieces and I'm already working on versions of this card box for them.

I would love it if you would leave me a comment before you go on to enjoy the blog hop and all the beautiful sneak peek's you'll find!
