Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!

Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them?  I have a solution for note cards.

Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5".  We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year.  White or Scalloped.  You can find them on page 168.  Or click here for the Scalloped.  

Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!

I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards.  Look!

Save

The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile.  I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile. 

I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post. 

Save

This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box.  The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

Here are the measurements for the box:

Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
    • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
    • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too.  Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!

• Butterfly Kisses fun fold card with Enamel Effects

  September 6, 2022

  ---

  Here's the last fun fold card I made in last week's FB Live video.  Each one featured the Butterfly Kisses designer paper and the Charming Sentiments bundle. 

  Save

  The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

  You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.

  I used a few sets of dies on this card: Build a Butterfly, Sentiment Silhouettes, Stylish Shapes (stitched circle) & Stitched with Whimsy (stitched frame).

  Measurements:

  • Calypso Coral 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Starry Sky 5” X 3 ¾” plus 2 1/2" stitched circle

• Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses

  September 2, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool! 

  Save

  Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

  Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?  

  Save

  I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

  The measurements are in the photo below: 

  Save

  I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.
