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.

    I've been sharing projects Annette made as part of my Team's Artist of the Month series.  My Flowerbug's team members have a chance to opt in to create projects featuring a stamp set or bundle they choose.  They get to keep the product for creating project for our group.  

    She chose the Bewitching Bundle from our 2022 Holiday catalog seen here. 

    She made a slimline card from Gray Granite cardstock and added three of our newest In colors.

    She stamped each one in Black Memento ink and colored each one with Blends markers.  They're popped up on stitched White squares from the Stylish Shapes dies.  

    She also added trim from the Silver Mesh ribbon.  Love the spiders hanging in each frame!  

    ~~~

    Next up is a sweet treat bag with Starry Sky.  You can find these bags in our 2022 Holiday catalog on page 35. These bags have star cutouts that make it easy to add color by inserting a piece of paper behind.  Here she added some 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper.  

    She tied the bag closed with Silver Mesh and 1/8" Starry Sky metallic ribbons.  Love the many rhinestones on the hat!  

    ~~~

    I hope you enjoyed all of her projects. If you missed them, click on the heading of this blog and scroll back to see each one.

    She showcased the Bewitching bundle wonderfully!!

    After seeing these fabulous projects I had to get this bundle!

  • Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!


    I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

    First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.  

    Details:

    • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
    • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
    • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

    ~~~

    Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White. 

    Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.  

    ~~~

    And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red. 

    Details:

    • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
    • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
    • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.  
    • I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

    Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!
