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.

• Changing up this fancy fold from a men’s card to glitzy!

  August 5, 2022

  ---

  I created this neat double-flap fancy fold card for last month's Card Clubs.  It features the He's the Man suite seen here or on pages 78-79 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!   

  

  The colors include Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & White. 

  Details:

  • The White & banner die-cuts are from the All That dies; but get the stamp set & dies in a bundle at an extra 10% off here.  
  • The DSP is from the He's the Man paper
  • All greetings are from the He's All That stamp set. 
  • The background is stamped using Versamark ink on the Soft Succulent panel. 
  • The inside white is a die-cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

  I created a video showing you how to make it; click here to watch.  Or scroll down to the bottom of this post.  It looks hard but is sooo easy!  

  

  Measurements

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"; cut off 1 1/2" of the card front.
  • side flap is 3" X 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the long side
  • He's the Man DSP 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"

  I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!  

  

  I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper.  I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies. 

  The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog. 

  

  This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies.  The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.  

  

  I love the double flap of this fancy fold!   Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards.  I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!  

  

  And here's the video to see how it's made.  Click on the photo below to watch it.

• Unique Silver & Gold Designer Paper technique ideas with video!

  August 4, 2022

  ---

  I played with the Silver & Gold Designer Series Paper on this week's FB Live and this is one of my favorite projects: 

  

  My goal was to share different ways to add color to this pretty metallic themed paper.  for this card I used our Water Brushes and our 2022-24 In Color ink.  I filled the water brush with water, using the largest brush, added a wash of four of the five colors.  

  This card layout is one referred to as the Stack & Cut technique.  You start out with at least 2 pieces of Designer Paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut using the template below.  It's so easy and is a fabulous way to showcase your designer paper.  

  

  The sentiment is from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set – a free choice from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  This stamp set is free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order.  See all of the Sale-a-Bration free choices here.  

  

  If you want either of these products why not take advantage of my BOGO sale and get free products from me with our purchase.  You'll still get New products from Stampin' Up! but also get to choose from my big bunch of retired Stampin' Up! products.  See details below, or view them all in my two albums here on my FB page.  

  

  Here's the video to see how it's done.  Click on the photo below.

• CUTE Butterfly Kisses Card Kit to go or Tutorial

  August 3, 2022

  ---

  I chose to feature the Butterfly Kisses designer paper for one of my August card kits to go.  It's so colorful & bright!  

  

  I created 2 each of 5 different cards; a few are special fun fold designs.  I find it quite enjoyable to create when I gather products that 'work' together so easily.  I let the colors in the DSP guide me and added Starry Sky ribbon & Fun Flowers resin shapes for accents.  

  If you like these cards you have a few options; get the pre-cut kit to go with the PDF tutorial or just the PDF tutorial only.  

  The pre-cut kit includes the following: 

  • All pre-cut pieces including punched or die-cuts
  • 1/2 pkg of 6 X 6" Butterfly Kisses DSP (you'll cut using the directions)
  • a share of Starry Sky Metallic Woven ribbon
  • a share of Fun Flowers Resin Shapes
  • The free PDF tutorial – photos, step by step directions, measurements & a supplies list

  Choose the pre-cut kit here or the PDF tutorial here.
