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.

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.

  • Frosted Forest silhouette card – so pretty! Free project sheet too


    I'm sharing a gorgeous wintery card that I made on last week's video. I saw a few similar cards online and knew you'd like to see how to make them. 

    It's in Navy & White with a clean, crisp feel to it. Perfect for wintertime or the holidays.  I shared how to assemble this in the video here or scroll down to see it below.  It's a little tricky to get the pieces in place before adhering to the card base.  

    The trees die is from the Frosted Forest dies seen here.  It's part of a bundle with stamps, dies & stencils seen here.  

     

    The greetings and greeting die-cut are from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.  I love this bundle!

    It's hard to see the texture on the White but I used the Snowflake Sky embossing folder on it. The ribbon is our sheer Navy & Gold glittered ribbon in the Annual catalog. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and three more!  I share a weekly Live video each Tuesday morning on my Facebook page here. Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

  • Unique Frosted Forest bundle shown multiple ways! Free project sheet & video too


    On last week's Live video I shared multiple ways to use the Frosted Forest bundle.  Here are two of the cards I made. 

    I used Granny Apple Green & Shaded Spruce here. I stamped the outline of the trees in Shaded Spruce and then added color by using the coordinating stencils with ink and blending brushes. (Pecan Pie ink is used on the tree trunk).

    Here is an example of the dies with a few coordinating stamps & stencils. 

    See this special stamp, dies & stencil bundle here. 

    I hope you watch the video here or below to see the many ways to create with it. I share a unique way to add extra detail to the large tree. It gives an easy 'leafy' texture. 

    A layered banner greeting across the bottom finished it off nicely. The birds are also included in the bundle. I used Pecan Pie to stamp them and then a blender pen to spread the ink a bit. 

    Here's the free project sheet for these two cards; click on the following link to download or print it: Download Frosted Forest 2 trees cards

    I think the combination of these two colors for these pine trees works wonderfully. 

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and two more!  Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.
