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"

  • Beautiful swaps with NEW products!

    We held out Team card swap Saturday and I want to share some of these awesome swaps they made. Our theme was to use new catalog products. This swap was ‘shoebox’ style so we made each other’s cards in person. I love shoebox swaps!

    Tracey created this special card using the new Peaceful Pine in color. She paired it with Cloud Cover and Berry Burst here.

    Save

    Look at that stamped panel; it is NOT designer paper! She stamped it because she loves to create with our stamps. And she finds it fun to create unique color combos too. She used the stamps from the Boutique Blossoms bundle seen here.

    Save

    The Heirloom Boutique suite is one that Stampin’ Up! says will remain current for a year! I love knowing this; it helps when you join swaps and post projects for customers.

    Save

    Here I stamped the outline image in 1st generation ink and the inside of the flower and leaves in 2nd generation ink. *that means stamped off once.

    A fabulous card Tracey!

    And here is Lori’s neat pop-up fun fold card:

    Save

    It had three layered panels that pop up from the card front. Very cool!
    It also features the Bloom Boutique suite seen here. It was hard to get a good photo of this fun fold card that she cased from Susan Campfield. The die-cuts on the front are cut from the new 2026-28 In Color Pearlized Specialty paper seen here.

    Here are the measurements:

    Card Base 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    Flaps – center is 3″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
    top & bottom flaps 3/4″ X 5 3/4″ score at 3/4″, 1 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5″
    Inside panel of DSP 2 1/2″ X 5 1/4″
    DSP – middle is 2 3/4″ X 2 1/2″, top & bottom 1/2″ X 2 1/2″, left & right 1/2″ X 5 1/4″, sides 1/2″ X 2 3/4″, corners 1/2″ square

    What a special card she made!

    Next is another special fancy fold card featuring the Bloom Boutique specialty designer paper; this one is created by Kim.

    Save

    She featured the All Aflutter punch bundle seen here. I’m so happy we have a new butterfly punch again!

    Save

    Her card is a spinner card using Baker’s Twine. It’s fun to set up a card like this so when the recipient removed the card from the envelope the circle spins. You simply wind it up before inserting it in your envelope. So cool!

    We added stamped & punched butterflies all over this card; using the newest In Colors. The inside polka dot DSP panel is from the new Painted Patterns 12 X 12″ DSP seen here. It’s available in most of our color families!

    Save

    Before the string is added to the crease of the fold you’ll cut the larger circle from the front. She has so many layers on her card; it can be tricky to get the circle die-cut ‘cut’ through the layers. We ran it back and forth the Cut & Emboss machine but it did cut!

    It’s an amazing card Kim!

  • Another way to feature your embossing folder…..

    Yesterday I shared one way to use ink on an embossed layer. Today I’m sharing another.

    Look closely at the card below. See how there are two different colors on this textured surface? I shared how to do this on last week’s video (see below).

    Save

    This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It just ran out of stock and may be a month or more before it returns. Please add your email so you’re notified when it’s back.

    Here’s how to do this: I inked the smoother side of my folder (the textured areas are recessed) with Hydrangea Hue ink. I then placed my CS on the opposite side of the folder, closed it and ran it through my Cut & Emboss Machine.
    It leaves the raised areas with the original CS color and the rest darker. It’s truly beautiful.

    Here are both cards; with the addition of Peaceful Pine:

    Save

    Simple & gorgeous! These cards will seem like you went above and beyond but they’re so simple!

    I used the Classic Labels Mix & Match Ephemera for my greetings as well as the new stamp set called Scalloped Blooms seen here.

    I also tried it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder too.

    Save

    Below is the video tutorial where I share how to achieve this technique. I hope you watch it and try it!
