You're Sublime bubble card...

I have been wanting to try this type of card for years...and after seeing a couple cards at convention, I decided to mess with it....

 it was not as mechanical and hard as I first thought...

 I drew a pencil around where I wanted to stamp it ...after figuring what circle edgelits I was using...

took approximately a 3 x 4 ziplock...have purchased several different places at different times...

 added some hairgel....don't make it too bulky...or card with be too puffy in that section...

 attached it to card with our tear and tape..and use dimensionals to attach to the card...

Remarkable You...

This is a card from a class at convention....

Here are a few varieties using the remarkable you set....different background and flowers....

 the flower section is the only change in all of these cards...used a little glitter with the glue pen...to none at all....

 loved cutting slivers of the black glitter for the border of the DSP pack

 too much glitter....hides the flower

just enough...

 like the background of this flower...

Guy Greeting and washi tape

My honey, Orlando, is a worker bee....to say the least....he has done sssssoooo many things that I am unable to do and is a great handyman....

 I put the washi tape on first and then used the embossing folder...it really pops...would have been nice if I could have gotten the phrase straight...that is what happens when you are busy and trying to get something in the mail..

 the two labels are popped....with dimensionals...

August Paper Pumpkin alternates

Made two cards and a larger box for the paper pumpkin for August....here are the pictures.... for the card below I took the negative shape left and cut it out and glued it onto a scrap piece of foil paper I had...then I took the black tag and cut off a piece from the bottom...1.5 inches for tag...embossed in gold...

 added the gold bow...I used our new glue pen....love it!!!

 I also took the negative space for this shape and sponged it with pink pirouette...used our stamps in the kit and  used our versamark pad and gold embossing powder...and then added a couple of punches....

 Took two of the small boxes and made a big one....I am not mechanical so this probably could have been done a better way...lol...I cut what would be the inside middle except for the tabs to connect to each other....

 this box is not glued together at the top....it is simple one tab laid over the other underneath the ribbon

 you will have two pieces that look like this......after you cut

 and two pieces cut that will look like this....

 when you use the tear and tape and connect the two pieces...they will look like this...

you connect the sides and they will look like this..and yes, they will be wobbly until you put the ribbon on....you could reinforce with a piece of paper or chipboard/I use our paper dividers that come in the pack of paper...

 put tear and tape on the tabs shown

 turn the boxes over and attach the piece you put together...

 when you look at the inside of the box it will look like this....the tabs are stuck under

 this is the bottom of the box facing you

 the inside of the box needs to be reinforced....

 so will used the paper divider sheet cut to the dimensions shown below...this is a tight fit so you may decide to make it a little smaller...

 use the tear and tape before inserting..

 now turn to the top of the box and just fold down and add the ribbon...and yes, the sides will be wonkie...

 after burnishing this area...add the ribbon and topper..
