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


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.

  • One more Petal Park and Kind & Sincere sneak peek card


    There are still lots of bargains on the Clearance Rack and Last Chance list.  Click on the pictures below to see them all.  Remember they're while supplies last!  Be sure to use this host code when you order:   QFTB9AST



    Yesterday I shared a card seen here made with these two new products and today I'm sharing another one.  I found it easy to create with the Petal Park bundle and the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  They're coming out in the upcoming 2023 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!. I love them both! 

     

     

    Details:

    • I stamped the 'Thanks' greeting on the White panel before I textured it with the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder.  
    • The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink and Night of Navy.  The leaves are fussy cut. 
    • The 'for everything' greeting is stamped and die-cut with the new Something Fancy dies
    • The Soft Sea Foam green card base is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • The white panel is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"; the Navy is 4 1/2" X 3". 
    • The Petal Pink layer is 2 1/2" X 4".  I used the outline leaf image to stamp a background using Petal Pink ink. 

    I think I'll get a lot of use of the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  I love that you can create your own greetings by putting together the large cursive words with the smaller printed words.  So versatile!

    Here are the 22 swaps I made.  The two main colors are soft & fresh yet the addition of Navy brings it all together & makes it pop. I feel like Navy is slightly softer than Black, which is another of my favorite ways to add a depth of color.  

    Thanks for reading up to this point; I hope you're excited about the upcoming Spring catalog.  It's filled with all kinds of fresh, new products!  

    **If you don't have a local demonstrator I'm happy to send you the new 2023 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs for $5.  If you've ordered from me in the past year; I'll send them to you free.

  • Petal Park Sneak Peak from the Spring Catalog


    This week I've been sharing some of the cards I made for online swaps I joined.  I hope you're enjoying the sneak peaks! 

    Today I'm sharing a card made with a new stamp & punch bundle called Petal Park.  It includes a new flower trio punch from the Spring catalog. 

    I chose to use the new Regency Park 6 X 6" designer paper; that's where I got the color combination of Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Mango Melody.  I love them together!  

    Measurements:

    • The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2".  (I cut off 1" from a traditional 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base)
    • The designer paper is 1" X 5 1/4" on the inside right edge.  
    • white panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"
    • Navy is 3" X 4" and the Mango strip is 1" X 4".  
    • The slanted die-cut greeting is from the Something Fancy dies

    In the stamp set there are two sets of flowers – solid and outline.  Plus two sets of leave images as well; outline and solid.  I used both of the flower images, stamping them in Mango Melody & Balmy Blue.  Then just the outline leaves for a lighter background.  I did add some of the small dots in Mango all over the flowers & leaves.  

    I curled the petals after punching so they had a bit more dimension to them.  I added pearls to the centers.  

    The greetings are from another new stamp set called Kind & Sincere.  It has both large and small greetings so you can mix & match your words.  I love this one!  


    Stay tuned for another sneak peak tomorrow!

  • Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration


    I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'.  It's all about carrots!

    Here's what I came up with:

    I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs.  It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets.  It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th. 

    When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards.  The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.  

    The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card.  It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back.  It's so easy!  Here's a link to the video on how to make it.  

    I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.  

    Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap.  I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.  

    You can earn this stamp set free during Sale-a-Bration – January 5th – February 28th.  Any $50 order and it's yours!  Stay tuned for more sneak peaks this week.

    Below is a video tutorial with another version of the vertical slider card:
