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.

Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!

April 26, 2022

Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.

Save

The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach. They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back!

Save

The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here. It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.

Save

The Diorama dies make this card even more unique. I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.

Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work! I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.

Save

I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.

Stack & Cut card technique; make 4 quick cards with your Designer Paper

April 25, 2022
On tonight's FB Live we're making Stack & Cut cards! Monday, April 25th at 7:30 pm here on my FB page.

If you can't watch it live it will be on my YouTube channel here.

Save

I chose to use the Heart & Home designer paper and the Blessings of Home stamp & dies bundle (seen here) for these pretty cards. This designer paper is retiring at the end of May. I like the fact that each sheet has a white wood pattern on one side.

Save

Here's now to make these Stack & Cut cards: Choose 4 different patterns of Designer Paper and then cut them into pieces using the template below.

Sort the pieces so one piece of each pattern fits on each card front. You'll create 4 different but similar cards quickly! Embellish as you'd like.

Save

Here's a photo of the pieces I started with.
- 4 full cards of Pale Papaya – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
- 4 Garden Green pieces at 4" X 5 1/4"
- the 16 pieces of Designer Paper – cut from the 4 pieces of DSP you started with
Save

Here's the template I used for the 4 pieces of Designer Paper. Choose patterns that coordinate in color. I love this way of using our beautiful double sided designer paper!

Tip: it's best if the patterns have a variety of sizes in their patterns.

Save

The Flowers of Home dies (seen here) are delicate with many leaves & flower options.

Save

Join me here tonight at 7:30 pm CT to see how easy it is to make 4 quick cards with the Stack & Cut technique.
