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.

Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!

March 12, 2020
Do you struggle with double sided designer paper? What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use? Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

Save

I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders. They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant!

On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

Save

The front right panel opens on just one side. It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.

Save

The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents.

Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels

March 11, 2020
This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month. It's also free to anyone who places an online order. *Details below

Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder.

Save

The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.

Save

You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background. I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock. Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool. Such a fabulous look!

The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last. It's already on the low inventory list!

Save

Other details:
- Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
- The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies.
- The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)

Easy card design; get two cards with one cut with the So Very Vellum Specialty paper

March 10, 2020
The 2nd set of Sale-a-Bration products are here! There are 5 new items you can choose from that you get FREE with a $50 – $100 order from now through March 31st. Honestly I am guessing the Vellum and Flowering Foils papers might sell out before March is over.

Save

I made these quick cards with the pretty textured So Very Vellum and the Eyelet Lace embossing folder in the annual catalog.

Save

To get two pieces from each quarter sized sheet of vellum see the measurements and tips are below.

Save

The colors are Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy which are the colors this specialty vellum comes in. It has a dotted grid of texture on each sheet! This specialty vellum is one of the new FREE choices with any $50 order in March. See it here.

Tips:
1. Cut one piece of vellum measuring 4" X 5 1/4". Make a mark at 1 1/2" from the upper left and 1 1/2" from the lower right and cut each piece in half at a diagonal. You'll have 2 perfect diagonal pieces for your cards.
2. Adhere the vellum to the White 4" X 5 1/4" card base using liquid glue; I prefer Multipurpose adhesive. I added a thin line under the dots on the vellum and it doesn't show at all!
3. The die-cuts are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies; I did add a scalloped 1 1/8" circle punch between the two layers and sponged the White pieces.
4. The greetings are from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's a bundle with the dies at a 10% savings. See it here.
