Horsin' Around Stamping

Hamster Habitat Box Card with Video Tutorial

May 3, 2024

3 May

Hello there. Today I’d like to share a fancy fold card that I made for a challenge from my Upline, Linda Bauwin. From the moment I saw the Hearts & Hugs stamp set, this card has been in my head. Check it out.

3 Hamster Habit Box Cards

So, the parameters that Linda gave us were that we could only use items in the new catalog- no Online Exclusives whatsoever. That threw a big Monkey Wrench in my plan! LOL. I really wanted to use the Deckled Rectangles and the Everyday details dies, but I couldn’t, as you’ll see in the video. Onto Plan B! The other difficulty I had to navigate was that my 12×12 paper options were sorely lacking! I had to make due with 8½ x 11 which was difficult considering the exact measurements I wanted the tank to be. I assure you, I will be making more of these with 12×12 CS, Deckled Rectangles and the Everyday Details dies in the near future, so stay tuned!

I had a couple different attempts at the hamster wheel too. Be sure to watch the video so you can see where my hamster wheel started as well. 😉

I’m really diggin’ our new In-Color Glimmer paper. It’s awesome! After a couple of tries, I decided I like the Pretty in Pink glimmer best for the background so I tweeked the design above. The design below is actually the one that I sent in.

Cute right?! I might be a bit biased since I’m a critter fanatic 😉

And there’s a card attached to the back. Here’s the inside

The card flattens out and fits perfect into an A2 envelope too (another challenge requirement.)

Nice and snug for mailing 🙂

And as promised, here is the video tutorial

And that’s it! I hope you enjoy it!
