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.

3 fun fold cards celebrating Strawberry Slush!

June 26, 2025
I have THREE neat fun fold cards from our June Team card swap. My Flowerbug's did an incredible job on their fun fold cards!

First up is Sharon's card featuring the Cheers & Sips bundle seen here.

Save

The top card base layer is scored to creates a box that pops up & supports the front panel. Super neat!

She added Fine Tip Glue to her fussy cut drinks for some shine. To do this you need to let it set awhile to dry. I'd recommend two layers. If you don't want it to get a bit curvy from the liquid in the glue, add a layer of card stock under it.

Her inside greeting is from the Unbounded Love set. The gems are from the Holographic Resin dots.

Save

Measurements:
- Strawberry Slush card base 8 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 5 3/4", 6 1/4", 7 3/4"
- front CS panel 2 3/4" X 4"
- DSP 2 pieces at 1 3/8" X 5 3/8", pieces under the greeting are 2 3/4" X 1 1/4", 2 3/4" X 1/4" and inside is 2 3/4" X 1 1/4"
- inside White panel 2 3/4" X 4"

Next is a neat Latch card made by Kathy who used the Sweet Jar bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Cloud Cover and Strawberry Slush. The Designer Paper is from the Florals in Bloom DSP seen here.

The front flap opens up to reveal another panel that she stamped with coffee beans and the die-cut from the Paper Pumpkin add on dies (now retired).

Save

And the front panel open up too!

Measurements:
- card base 7 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

And now for the final card today. This one was made by Paula and was cased from Heidi Colins. It's called a Buckle card:

Save

She used the Floral Impressions DSP on the front and cut a window in the front panels so the buckle could slip in.

Products used include the Stylish Shapes dies, Swirly EF, In Color flat pearls, and Brass Butterflies.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Irresistible Designs emboss resist technique with free project sheet & video

June 24, 2025

I shared this card on last week's Live video. I wanted to feature the new Irresistible Designs specialty paper seen here in the new Annual catalog. It has printed/embossed patterns that are perfect for the emboss resist technique.

Save

Which color do you prefer? Are you a yellow or a purple person?

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather. For inks I chose Lemon Lolly, Smoky Slate and Highland Heather.

I cut my strips first, then blended the inks on. I textured the center Smoky Slate layer with the Glass & Gardens embossing folders. The circle die-cut is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.

I stamped the greeting twice; first on the circle and again on a small piece of card stock. I fussy cut the 'Celebrate' out and added it with Stampin' Dimensionals. This was such an easy card!
