You’ll want to make this easy box for cards. Grab the free tutorial!

April 13, 2026

I shared this fabulous box for gifting or storing cards in on last week’s Live video. It’s one of those projects you NEED to make!

I found a similar project on Pinterest but the measurements weren’t for A2 cards so I reconfigured it and came up with this one. I love it and the fact that it’s super easy makes it a must have to save among your project ideas.

I used Secret Sea card stock, the DSP and with the retiring Branching Out dies (so sad!) for the front. The Secret Sea bordered ribbon is perfect to wrap and tie into a bow for giving.

If you don’t have these Branching Out dies; I think they’re a must have! Get them ASAP before they’re gone for good.

It features the Lovely Blossoms suite; especially the Lovely Blossoms designer paper here and the Lovely Arrangements bundle seen here.

I added three cards & envelopes inside the box but it would fit 5-6 cards if they’re not too thick.

I’ll share the cards in my blog post tomorrow. But in the meantime the template for this box is below.

I created a free project sheet for both the box and the cards. Please click here to print or save it!

The video tutorial is below; please watch it to see how to assemble the box.

I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

Save

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here. She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper. I just love this card!!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here. It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last.

Save

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe. Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star!

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

Save

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper.

Save

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.

It's a simple fun fold too!

I hope you are inspired by these beautiful projects made by my Flowerbug's Team.

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side. Very cool. It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too.

Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

January 31, 2024
Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette!

Save

It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered. Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here.

Details & tips:
- Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper. Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
- The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit.
- That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
- I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left.
Here's how I stamped the inside. The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration.

Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.
