Another version of my 1 sheet box & cards; featuring the Softly Sophisticated DSP

Today I'm sharing the second version of my 1 sheet box & cards. I shared the other one on Monday;  See it here. 

Softly Sophisticated box with cards Save

These projects feature the Softly Sophisticated designer paper from our recent Sale-a-Bration promotion.  Sadly SAB is over so it's not available anymore.  You can easily substitute your favorite designer paper instead. 

Please watch the video tutorial below to see how to make this box. I used the crinkled Pool Party ribbon from SAB to close it and the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp & punch bundle on these projects.

I decided to attach the ribbon on this box instead of leaving it loose.  I used Tear & Tape and adhered it to the back, upper flap and half of the front.  I tied the tag to the ribbon with twine so it's easy to tie together again.

Here's the template you can save.  It's also included in the free project sheet below too.

Here are both of my 1 sheet boxes; which is your favorite?

Next I'll share the individual cards with the measurements. Each one is a special but easy fun fold layout. I used just one stamp set on these cards – the Heartfelt Hexagon set. The coordinating Hexagon punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock but will be back in April. 

Note the decorated envelopes to match!  Doing this makes your projects extra special and uses up your designer paper stash too.

Softly Sophisticated Coral Save

This card is a new take on a book-binding card fold. It has just one extra layer of card stock to make it a new fold. 

Measurements: Calypso Coral card 11" X 4 1/4" score at 2 1/8", 4 1/4" & 5 1/2". 2nd piece is 3 1/4" X 4", White inside 2" X 4". DSP – large panel is 3" X 4", 1" X 4" & 2" X 4"

Softly Sophisticated Pebbled Path.JPG Save

I love this card fold!  It used the trimmed off layer from the card base as the front panel. 

Measurements: Pebbled Path – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4". DSP 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"

Softly Sophisticated Pool Party.JPG Save

This card shows off both sides of your designer paper since the DSP is actually the front of your card base.

Measurements: Pool Party is 5 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4". DSP – 1 piece at 3/4" X 5 1/2", 1 piece at 4" X 5 1/2". Wild Wheat strip 4" X 1"

  • Blog issues; so sorry!

    I'm sorry to say that my blog host, Typepad, has been having issues in the last week.  So you may or may not be able to view or receive my blog posts.  They haven't said how long the issues may last. 

    I will communicate as much as I can.  Sometimes the site is down fully and I have no way to post anything! Photos seem to be the biggest problem.  

    Be sure to check my Facebook page or my Instagram for recent posts.

  • Boughs of Holly Suite projects; with a special fun fold you’ll be amazed at!

    I think everyone is loving the Boughs of Holly suite seen here; the paper is stunning and the Leaves of Holly bundle is incredible as well!  

    These are the last swap cards from our Christmas swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  I hope you've enjoyed their amazing & creative projects. *Scroll back to see them all. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card:

    Oct marilyn Leaves of Holly Save

    Her colors include Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler with White.  She stamped a few spatters on the designer paper before texturing it with the Gingham embossing folder before adding the die-cut greeting and leaves.  This greeting die-cut with the attached holly leaves is so pretty & unique. 

    Measurements: Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", DSP is 4 1/2" X 3 1/4", the Cherry Cobbler layer is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    Here's a photo of the entire Boughs of Holly suite:

    Next up is an amazing card by Paula.  She made a vertical Pillar card.  I've never seen one before.  

    Oct Paula BoughsofHolly Save

    The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

    The dimensions are:
    • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
    • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
    • Banish all score lines toward the center
    • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

    It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

    Oct Paula Boughsof Holly Save

    Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

    The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

  • Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s

    This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

    Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

    Oct Candy Country Wreath Save

    Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

    Details:

    • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
    • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
    • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

    Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle. 

    Oct mary Country Wreath Save

    A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

    The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

    She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

    Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.
