Hello friends! Today I’m up on the Mama Elephant blog sharing a project using the new Confetti stamp set.
I used my Envelope Punch Board to create this little envelope using Echo Park pattern paper. The stamps in the Confetti stamp set are perfect for the front and back of envelopes. I used the tiny sequins to dress up the front of the envelope and the solid circle love sentiment to make a sticker for the back. The envelope measures 2 x 3 1/2″. On the envelope punch board, it’s the first measurement and says “gift card” and requires a 5 x 5″ piece of paper.
And to hold the gift card, I created this fun little card. I adore this handwritten sentiment in the Confetti stamp set.
Here’s a video, with my trusty side-kick Emma, showing how I created this project. Thanks so much for watching!

can you please tell me the measurements you used for the envelope and card? I’m sorry if you mentioned it in the video ( I’m deaf) so I’m only watching what you do and same time keeping Little E entertained 🙂 Thanks!
How cute!!!!
super love this Laura!
I love that technique and the great idea to create a sticker with the xyron to close the make-your-own envelopes!
I’m not sure what to call the technique either….maybe brilliant?
I am so glad you made a video of how you made this card. I don’t know what that technique is called either but I love the result. I am going to give it a try for some Christmas gift cards this year.
Love the technique…….you’ll have to come up with a name for it or……..we can call it the “Laura” technique 🙂 I noticed you have the same problem with the smaller envelopes. I have gone back and cut the back flap on mine and then put a sticked to seal it……sticks much better that way. Thanks for sharing. Ciao 🙂
Sorry……that was suppose to be sticker 🙂
Delightful card and matching envie! Loved the video too! How about “paper-pieced stamping?” 🙂
PS – I think I like the sequin stamps better than real sequins, which I’m not all the crazy about.
I call it GENIUS! I was wondering how you got that to stamp so well on the paper strips!
I love it that you include your kids in your videos.
And the technique how about calling it 3D double stamping.
Too cute – your helper is superb! Love how you beautified that gift card – neat idea with the “paper piecing”.
Very cute technique! I love that you include your family in your videos. I did see the one with your crazy husband, he’s a peach to get involved with you, and you have an adorable little Emma.
I love how you created this gift card and envie, Laura! Your stamping technique is so clever, too! I like Barb’s idea to call it “Paper-Pieced Stamping”…just a thought!
Hugs to Emma ~ The prettiest little side-kick on the web!!!
your daughter is soooo cute.
love your creativity! how do you think up all these wonderful ideas?
Emma is very cute! and so is your card!
This video is so adorable! The little card and technique you used are amazing! But the most impressive part is your “super mom multi-tasking” skills throughout your video. Love watching you create and how you make your videos a full family affair 🙂 Hope your little gift card creation survived Emma peeling the sticker off the back. 🙂
I think you just convinced me that I need to get a xyron sticker maker soon 😀
Love the double stamping/paper piecing technique and your sequin pick up technique is one that I use all the time. 😉
Great card/envelope and fun video! How about calling it “hidden double-stamping”? The stamped sequins look like a great embellishment.
LOVE IT..so much fun..the video too!
CheezIts as blackmail, eh? DD suggests “puzzle piecing”. My suggestion is “BLT” for Bässen Laura Technique cuz you definitely started this one.
Always a treat to see you & Emma create. How did you know I needed a great gift card hoder?
Love how jazzy this is thanks to the stripes and colours Laura!! Such a fun ensemble. Off to watch the video now!!
Adorable and hilarious at the same time!! BTW agree with some other suggestions of ‘paper pieced stamping’. 🙂
I love today’s project and the technique. I have no brilliant ideas regarding what to call it–but I see a Make it Monday video in your future. Your video is so sweet, and Emma is just darling.
Oh, How I love to watch you balance your mom life with your creative life! Your interactions with Emma always make me smile. The technique (and gift card with envelope) is really cool, I will have to try it!
Your videos always make you laugh…..reminds me of my life when I am trying to make cards! Frustrating and fun all at the same time. Love the technique….reminds me of a technique I saw in our “Australian Simply Cards” magazine called “triple stamping”….yours would be “double” stamping. Take care, Tracy
Love, Love, Love watching your videos Laura! they are so totally ‘real’, and so make me chuckle LOL!
Awesome Laura! So glad to know the 1/4 punch works with the sequins. And I love this stamping technique.
I’d call it Stamp Piecing!
So many levels of awesome… and your Emma is just like my Josie. My Emma loves to make her own pretend YouTube videos, I should let her help me make one and get over my fear – it’s fun to see your family in your videos!
Love the video Laura and Emma is so Adorable 🙂
A fantastic new technique and brilliant project, Laura … and such a fun start to Saturday … your little side-kick is such a sweetie! Anita (in France) 🙂
Awesome technique! I’m gonna have to try it out! 🙂
So adorable!!
Wow, looks wonderful 🙂
I have to tell you, you have a one little crafter growing there 🙂 thanks for sharing such a great technique
sooooo AWESOME! love this technique and your work and video are GREAT!thanks for sharing.
First I have to say your daughter is sooooooo cute! It’s wonderful that you have her be a part of your stamping. It’s not easy with a little one. Second- I LOVE your STRIP STAMPING. That’s what I would call it. 😉
