MFT Stamps | Outside the Box Challenge – Just Add Balloons

May 21, 2021

Hello crafty friends! It’s time for a brand new Outside the Box Challenge from My Favorite Things! I absolutely love this challenge since it requires making a box card. If you’ve never made one before, any of the Outside the Box Die-namics from MFT Stamps make it super easy! No measuring needed!

For my take on the challenge, I created a fun 3D birthday shadow box card using the Shadow Box Die-namics. I made my scene more festive by adding some cascading party banners along the top portion of my card. To do this, I used the fun Shadow Box Swag Die-namics. I diecut my banner pieces from a variety of teal/blue card stocks (listed below). For my images, I stamped a sweet elephant and some balloons from the sweet BB Adorable Elephants Stamp Set. I colored my images with Copic Markers and cut them out with the coordinating die-namics.

I added some grass using the Outside the Box Grassy Hills Die-namics and heat embossed my sentiment with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder prior to adhering it in the front of my card window.

Copic Colors Used:

  • Balloon on Left: BG70, BG53, BG57, BG75
  • Balloon in Middle: G000, BG32, BG34, BG18
  • Balloon on Right: G000, BG11, BG13, BG49
  • Elephant: W00, W1, W3, W5
  • Pinks: RV00, R81, R85

    Absolutely adorable boxcard, Rachel! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your Copic color combos! That’s so sweet that you went to the extent of differentiating which color belonged to which balloons! I love your color selections and am always appreciative of your listing!
