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

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.

• The Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit is stunning! *get a pre-paid subscription & earn free SAB choices!

  January 25, 2024

  I received my January Paper Pumpkin kit yesterday and for the first time ever, I sat down and finished the entire kit!  Here are my cards.

  The original kit makes 8 cards and 4 tags.  I added 4 card bases and a few extra coordinating cardstock strips and ended up with 12 cards!  They released the add on kit for the Lovely Lavender card kit today; it's just $11.50 and you can see it here.  It comes with everything but the stamp set & ink spot!  

  *I love these cards so much I'm featuring the add-on kit in a card kit to go in February!  

  Here's another alternative idea I made with the kit:

  I used our Deckled Circle dies and the new Love of Spring 'add-on' dies for Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  The 'love' and the label die-cut are from these dies!  These dies can be seen here and are just $12.

  I textured the white circle with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and added a 3/4" Garden Green strip to the Highland Heather card base. The twine is from the kit and the gems are our new Fine Shimmer Purple gems.

  If you aren't a Paper Pumpkin subscriber I want to consider it. The kits are worlds better than they were in the past. I love receiving one every month and having easy creative projects I can do when I have free time.  No planning or prep; just creative fun!

  Here are your choices when subscribing to Paper Pumpkin: 

  1. Purchase a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month subscription here.  *get free Sale-a-Bration choices through February!!
  2. Subscribe to receive a kit each month here.

  I highly recommend getting the 12 month pre-paid choice.  When you do, if you add just $57 more to the 12-month subscription, you'll get 2 more for a total of 6 ($50) SAB choices + $36 hostess rewards + extra $30 hostess rewards! It's a pretty good deal!

• Gorgeous Rocker cards with a video tutorial & free project sheet!

  January 24, 2024

  ---

  Here's another special card I shared on last week's Live video. It's called a 'rocker card'.

  The pretty roses are from the Softly Stippled designer series paper – seen here in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. I fussy cut the roses on the upper circles and colored them with Pool Party ink and a Wink of Stella. I love coloring with my Wink of Stella as it adds a beautiful shimmer. Watch the video below to see how. 

  It's made with our Deckled Circle dies seen here. There are a ton of them in the set – 14 sizes! They carried over from our Holiday catalog and can be seen online.

  For the card base I used the second from the largest die; it's almost 5 1/2" wide. Once you cut it, score it in half at 2 3/4". 

  Of course you'll use the next size down for the front half layer and the inside.

  I post at least two of these free tutorials each week!  I hope you'll subscribe to my blog. Go to the right side and click on 'get email updates'.  Then you won't miss a thing! 

  The second sample was made with Calypso Coral & Pebbled Path. It seems like Pebbled Path is a perfectly beautiful color to pair most of our soft colors with. 

  My greetings are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here. It's paired with a beautiful embossing folder and is free with any $100 purchase from Stampin' Up!.

• Wow – Texturing Vellum is a fabulous effect! Check out this pretty Softly Sophisticated card

  January 23, 2024

  I couldn't stop playing with the Softly Stippled designer paper and the Softly Sophisticated bundle!  This card came together by using a sketch layout I saw online.

  There are so many neat details on this card; I'll list a few of them.  

  • Check out the textured vellum!  It's done with the Softly Sophisticated folder (sale-a-Bration choice). Our vellum cardstock doesn't crack!
  • The pretty Softly Stippled designer paper seen here in the background adds even more texture. 
  • The dotted rectangle die-cut is from the Everyday Details dies seen here. 
  • Check out the ribbon treatment. I tied a bow around the Pool Party ribbon (Sale-a-Bration choice) with the Pebbled Path jute twine – separated into one strand. 
  • The stamps are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here – gorgeous greetings and 2-step florals.

  I've mentioned it before but I'm finding our new Pebbled Path to be a wonderful neutral color with our soft subtle colors. It's brown but with a slight gray tone to it.  Lovely!
