Card ideas for the Box & Cards; free project sheet with video tutorial

April 14, 2026

I shared this beautiful box with cards on yesterday’s blog post. You’ll see it in the video and project sheet below too. Today I’ll focus on the cards included in the pretty box.

The featured products include the Lovely Blossoms suite. This card box can fit up to 6 cards with envelopes inside. It’s super easy to make too! It’s included in the free project sheet seen below.

For these cards I used the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here. And the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper seen here.

This first card is a fun fold card; quite unique!

It doesn’t look much different from the front. The colors include Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Old Olive & White. Here’s a photo of it open:

The White inside layer has two extra folds in it. There’s a narrow flap adhered to the card front that let’s it open in an unusual way. The measurements are in the free project sheet below.

This next card is deceptively simple; but I added a simple trick to layering the DSP on the front:

The main image is from the Lovely Blossoms DSP. This DSP includes multiple printed elements perfect to make the focus of the card. It’s the printed Olive DSP under it I want to call your attention to. Both pieces measure 3″ X 4″. I cut the Olive DSP in half on the diagonal and added that as a layer to the flower layer. Quick and easy but unique. Instead of the traditional even layers this adds interest to your card.

Lastly is a card that shows off a special die-cut in the Lovely Arrangements bundle:

It’s Petal Pink with Secret Sea and White. That multiple circles die is so cool! It truly adds some playfulness to the card. The greeting is stamped on a circle die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.

My free project sheet includes these 3 cards plus the template and instructions for the card box as well. Click here to download or print it.

Below is the video tutorial for the box and tips on assembling the fun fold card at the top. Don’t forget to follow me on my YouTube Channel here or my Facebook Page here.

Flight & Airy surprise accordion fold with video & free project sheet

February 5, 2024
I shared this beautiful card in last week's Live video. We also made it at my local Card Clubs as well.

Save

There are so many fabulous projects and features on this pretty card front I'll list them here:
- The colors are Fresh Freesia with Boho Blue & White.
- The Fresh Freesia layer is first cut with the Perennial Postage dies before texturing.
- The beautiful texture is from the Layering Floral 3D embossing folder seen here. I cannot recommend this folder enough! I rubbed my Craft White ink pad directly over the deep texture to highlight the flowers. *watch the video
- The pretty butterfly is from our Paper Butterfly Accents. We added Boho Blue & Fresh Freesia ink to it with Blending Brushes.
- The greeting stamps are from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set. It's one of our free choices with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.
- The White greeting label is made by punching the ends of a 1" wide strip of card stock with our Handmade Tag punch. It's layered onto the Heartfelt Hexagon punch.
- See the Flight & Airy designer paper here. It's another free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order through February, or while supplies last.
- The inside layers were also made with the Perennial Postage dies (like the front layer)
But the coolest thing about this card is that you get a fun surprise once you open it!

Save

There's a full strip of Flight or Fancy designer paper inside, folded accordion style in the center. This leaves the outer areas flat for adding greetings etc. Remember there's a video tutorial to watch here or below.

Save

You can add more labels, greetings or punches on each of the accordion folds as well if you wish.

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here. She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper. I just love this card!!

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here. It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last.

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe. Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star!

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper.

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.

It's a simple fun fold too!
