Bordering on Romance Card Directions

By Amy · Comments (5)

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Okay, okay… I know, I shared the template for the coordinating box in my post HERE but not how to make the card! And for those of you who emailed me regarding the box template, I have updated the download to show where to cut (sorry, thought I had done that before).

And good news, you can also see how to make the card–step by step photo–in the PDF (left). I just love the Bordering on Romance set! On the PDF, there is also a complete listing of sets and accessories used.

Bordering On Romance matching card and box

By Amy · Comments (6)

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

This card box is very simple to make from a regular 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock (cut to 8 1/2 x 10 inches). And as promised in my previous post, I have included the downloadable photo step-by-step PDF and the diagram for cutting and scoring. It also has the set and accessory list. UPDATED: I realized after posting, that I didn’t specify on the diagram in the PDF where to cut.

The coloring technique was achieved with Watercolor Crayons (Brights #119804) and a blender pen (#102845). The set is the ‘Bordering On Romance’ stamp set (wood #125480, clear #125482) from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Mini Catalog.

Of course I guess that I OVERUSE the Sizzix embossing folder ‘Vintage Wallpaper‘… I just stinkin’ love it! And I can’t get enough of the Framelits dies ‘Labels Collection’ (#125598). The colors are all from the ‘brights’ collection Melon Mambo, Old Olive & Pacific Point.

This box is so easy to make… I have a trick for getting the end of it embossed and fitting it through the Big Shot, its in the directions. So, how’d I do? What will you use the box for? How about Mother’s Day stationery set for the mom who has everything?

Window Box Candy Holder Photo Step by Step

By Amy · Comments (8)

Monday, February 27th, 2012

Stamp festival is done and I will be sharing the projects for the next week or so (depending upon my luck in getting the time!

This adorable box was made using one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock. I have the photo step-by-step instruction (left) and it also includes a detailed diagram of the box to follow. The biggest challenge was making the window where you couldn’t fit in any punches… so the Framelits dies ‘Labels Collection’ came to the rescue! See how tricky it was anyway to get that frame in there (see PDF).

Pines & Pointsettias Gift Card Holder

By Amy · Comments (0)

Monday, December 19th, 2011

Here’s another sample using the ‘Pines & Poinsettias’ stamp set… this one holds a gift card, sneakily tucked away under the front cover!

I love the natural colors… more than the traditional red & green.

I did a step by step photo tutorial to explain how it was put together, but it is basically folding in the front flap inside and then punching a slit and then tacking it down. I’ll show you in the next four photos…

Fold in the front flap of the card and then open it
With the front flap open, punch a slit with the Word Window punch (you’ll have to punch it in the middle and then slightly to the left and then slightly to the right to make it as wide as you need)
Glue the sides down and make sure you don’t put glue in front of the slit or your gift card will get stuck (LOL!)
Press the front flap closed and you can see that you can fit a half of a gift card in it. You will cover the gift card with a front panel (in this case, the red layer).

The cutting measurements and links to buy the accessories are below. And right now (as this article is being published) there is a special going on in the ‘Clearance Rack‘ on my online store, up to 80% off select products… which means you have permission to take a moment and buy yourself some Christmas presents!
