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.

  • Crafting with You; one more way to use it!


    During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.  Crafting with you Boho

    This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

    I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.

    I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.  

    Which color is your favorite?  From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.

  • See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video


    On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up!  It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Here's one of them:

    Crafting with you Bubble bath

    It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….  

    Crafting with You Azure

    This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc.  It's loaded!  

    Crafting with you both Live

    These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families.  Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon.  I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.  

    I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it.  Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle.  The circle also helps tone down the busy background.  

    Crafting with you bundle live

    A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.  

    Crafting with you Bubble Bath

    I show how to make the scissors in the video.  You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver.  Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.  

    CRAFTING WITH YOU BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

    For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer.  Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us.  The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like.  They thought of everything on this set!!
