Last Card of the Month for Die Cut Divas

 This Post is all about shaped cards, which includes box cards..

The theme for October is Shaped Cards!

We have included box cards in the Shaped Cards category.

I've made a Christmas card with an envelope pop up die set and I love it.  I've only used this die once and it looks totally different - at least I think so. Check the first card out here,

I stamped all the critters and they were all so cute and just what I wanted for a Christmas card.  They had their first showing here along with the sentiment..

I love this card - it just brightens up my desk and I don't have to let it go for a couple months.  It is interactive and so easy to put together.

Supplies:
Pink & Main Flurry of Fun Stamps and dies (all the snow & critters)
Pink & Main Envelope Pop Up Card dies
Pink and Main Winter Spotlight Sayings
Nuvo Crystal Drops - Gloss - Ebony Black and Simply White
    (black on eyes & snowman's buttons and white on snowballs)

Copic markers on the critters

Vagabond die cut machine

This next card is a shaped card, but not interactive. I made this card with Pink & Main Envelope Pop Up Card dies, using dies only.

I also made a totem pole of MUGS.   The set includes sentiments and four different fun mugs.  I only used three mugs here.  Each cup sits in each mug perfectly.  I just glued each cup, one on top of the other, laid the group on top of a folding white  card , glued it and then cut the entire card around the mugs.  Each individual mug will make a marvelous Tag.

Supplies:

Pink and Main Mugs and Kisses

Glossy Accents
Ailene's Snow
Copic markers

Have I got the die set for you.

I used the Pink & Main Berry Pop-Up Card Dies.  
The same die was used for both cards

This pop-up card is easy to make and as you can see, you can make this unique by changing some things around, using different papers for the box and changing the flower colors.

Another example of using this die set. I made this at a live event in 2025, but never shared.   

I used Pink and Main Berry Pop-Up Card Dies however the 2nd card was pre-cut for our class in 2025 and we used string instead of the panel used on the first card.

I wanted to use a small piece of colored paper to make a gumball machine because the colors were so beautiful and shiny.  I have no idea where they came from, but I had to use them. Success!

I received the "Hello" sentiment from Linda, my fellow Die Cut Divas friend.  It came at the perfect time when I was looking for a sentiment to fit beside the gumball machine.

I went for friendship and since it's summer, I thought a nice cold drink would be perfect.  I made a "Blueberry Splash" with straw and ice cubes.  The ice cubes are cut from a parchment type paper and the straw from a lovely vellum...  oh, Fresh Blueberries sitting in the bottom of the drink.
