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.

  • Check out these Team swap cards!


    Today I'm sharing a few of our August Flowerbug's Team swaps.  Our theme was to create a card without a greeting on the front.  It was quite the challenge for some of us!!  

    First is a fractured card made by Karen.  She shared how to make it and we were all blown away by how easy it is! 

    I loved it so much I shared how to make it in a recent video.  See it here and my blog post here. 

    She featured the Inked Botanicals designer paper and the Trucking Along bundle.  The Truck builder punch is unavailable at this time; it will be back in October.  Her card base & 1/4" strips are Calypso Coral.  Love that truck full of flowers!

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Cheerful Daisies bundle seen here. 

    She added lots of die-cut daisies & leaves; some are sponged. She added the circles image (from Timeless Arrangements) using the Baby Wipe method.  Love this look!  And after stamping the circles she textured it with one of the Basics 3D embossing folders (online exclusive).  Plus she colored the White glittered ribbon (another online exclusive) by sponging on color.  So many great details! 

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Mary who featured the Darling Details bundle seen here. 

    The pretty & delicate frame adds beautiful detail to the Delightfully Eclectic designer paper in the center.  Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Night of Navy and Crushed Curry.  

    This wonderful bundle may have slipped your notice; here's a photo of both the stamp set & dies:

  • The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!


    You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular.  It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.  

    Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy!  So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

    I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here.  There are so many they have their own category!  

    This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper.  The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper!  No measuring needed!!

    This pretty designer paper is in low inventory.  Do you have it yet?  It's just beautiful!

    My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.  

    Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock.  You start at the upper center.  Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off.  *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success. 

    Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink. 

     

    Which do you prefer?  One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.  

    I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.

  • Bendy Window card with free PDF & video tutorial!


    I shared this super unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  If you're on Facebook please follow me here for my weekly Tuesday morning videos. If not, you can always follow my YouTube channel here.  

    As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not!  I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.  

    I chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" designer paper (currently in low inventory). Both of these are Online Exclusives.  My colors are Lost Lagoon with Soft Sea Foam.  

    There is a little fold of card stock under the stamped White tag that pops it up when the card is opened. 

    Here's a peek at it.  There are three rolled up mini glue dots on the peak of this piece that adheres the tag to it.  

    I made a second version during the video using Petal Pink card stock.
