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

March 6, 2024

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

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.

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"

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"

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"

She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade. The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible! I love the touch of vellum she added.

Flowers for Every Season & more!

July 28, 2020

Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors.

First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

Save

Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly.

Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also.

Save

What a fun layout! Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer? That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.

Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane. She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings. Love these delicate dies!

Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better? They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully. It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
