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.

  • Pretty Pumpkins with Be Dazzling specialty paper


    After seeing other projects with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle I had to get it.  I love the images and the font in the greetings. 

    I stamped the large pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie ink and colored them and the leaves with Blends markers using both Pumpkin Pie & Olive markers plus light Crumb Cake for the stem & light Cajun Craze for the darkest areas on the pumpkins. 


    I was playing around with the Be Dazzling specialty paper and decided to try to color it.  I had a spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol & either Pumpkin Pie or Cajun Craze ink refill.  So I spritzed it on to a piece of the glittery paper.  It worked beautifully!  I did have to let it sit for a few minutes to set well.  Then I rubbed it with tissue to get any excess off before I die-cut the pretty filigree pumpkin with it.  

    I also spritzed my White twine to color it as well. 

    Other products:

    • Ornate Layer & Potted Succulent dies
    • Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the leaves

  • Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card


    We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month.  It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

    Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those?  The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible!  I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out.  But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart! 

    Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card. 

    The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green.  We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink. 


    ***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over.  So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first! 


    Details:

    • Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
    • Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars 
    • I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
    • You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work 

    I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep. 


    And below is the video; this card is so fun!
