Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

November 1, 2023

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

Save

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th.

Save

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't! It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper. The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online.

Save

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard. I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.

Save

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things!

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog. It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here.

Save

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out. Because it comes flat it's easy to do.

I hope you're inspired by this project. I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!

Stunning Garden Poetry Fun-fold card kit with tutorial option

March 12, 2026

The Garden Poetry designer paper was a firm choice for one of my card kits. It’s absolutely breathtaking with the coordinating prints in leafy and watercolor designs.

I wanted to show off both sides of this beautiful paper so I chose to feature fun folds for these cards.

Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video

March 11, 2026

Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

Save

I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

Save

Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

Save

I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

March 10, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

Save

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

Here’s how you do it.

Save

You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

If you’re loving my free project sheets I suggest you create a file on your computer and save them all there. Easy inspiration!
