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.

Easter Friends; simply adorable! Video tutorial included.

March 22, 2022
I chose the Easter Friends stamp set for one of our Club cards in March. It truly has adorable images! See it here.

I shared a few other projects during a recent Facebook Live. Click here to see it.

Look at this sweet bunny image!

Save

I stamped him/her in Smoky Slate and added a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks. I added a light line of Pool Party blends marker around the edge. The designer papers on this card include the Heart & Home and Hand Penned DSP's. These will likely be on the retiring list which comes out on Wednesday, March 23rd.

They could choose between the bunny or the duck. The duck is colored in with Blends markers; So Saffron & Pale Papaya. All greetings are from the Easter Friends stamp set; stamped in Basic Gray.

Save

Other details:
- Stitched Rectangles for the White & Pale Papaya stamped pieces
- Flower & Leaves punch for the large flower
- Bough punch for the little bitty tulips
- Brass Butterflies scattered around the duck or bunny; see them here
- I made a 'faux bow' by folding sheer Pool Party ribbon back and forth, adhering the folds with mini glue dots. No bulk!

Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!

March 21, 2022

I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video. Honestly I didn't want to stop! This set is so friendly and easy to create with.

Save

Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green. Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals. The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals.

The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique. I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers. Fun technique! Watch the video below to see it in action.

Save

This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog.  Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch.

Save

I love that this stamp set includes outline & solid images to match.

Save

For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies. I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls. The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.

Save

I sure love the greetings in this set! Versatile and such cute font.

Save

I also shared this cute card too. I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder. It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.

Save

The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4" & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.

How to achieve the Floating Technique? Lots of examples!

March 18, 2022
Our current Team creative challenge for my Flowerbug's group is to make a card using the Floating Technique. It's a fun technique that uses a window sheet or transparency.

Here are some of mine I shared on a recent Facebook Live video you can see here.

This first one features Black & White with a 'pop' of color – Magenta Madness in this case. Magenta Madness is retiring next week!

Save

I used the Dandy Wishes dies and the Layering Circles dies here. I adhered a bunch of strips of the All Together designer paper to a window sheet, leaving space between them. I cut it out with the largest circle in the set and popped it up on a Gingham textured White layer.

I added die-cuts from the neat Dandy Wishes dies and a heat embossed image from the Garden Wishes stamp set. This set is in a bundle with the Dandy Wishes dies and on sale in March! See it here.

This next card features Misty Moonlight and the Abstract Beauty DSP. I cut the feathers from this pretty DSP that has touches of Gold on it using the Iconic dies seen here.

Save

For this card the window sheet is a simple rectangle. After adding the feathers I trimmed off the excess and added it to the card with mini dimensionals.

Other details:
- the greeting die-cuts are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here.
- The textured White layer is done with the Bark 3D embossing folder.
- That strip of gold & white strips is also from the Abstract Beauty DSP.
- Colors are Gold, White, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy
Next is a card done in purples – Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.

Save

Details:
- Layering Circle & Amazing Thanks dies
- Greeting stamped from Special Moments SAB set
- Texture is Hive 3D folder seen here
- Basic Rhinestone jewels were colored purple with Blends markers
This next sample features the Artistic dies along with the SAB Simply Marbelous DSP.

Save

Colors are Basic Gray, White & Black; very monochromatic. The greeting is from Friendly Hello SAB set, heat embossed.

Tip; to adhere the finely cut die-cut pieces I used our Adhesive Sheets seen here. They're the best solution for these types of die-cuts.

Save
