More Organization – More Time for Crafting
This card has one extra fold that makes it seem so much fancier. I think it would make a great card for an engagement party or a friend’s promotion. You could also swap out the greeting and use it for many other events.
I used Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, and Basic Gray.
Here’s the same card “stepped up.” You can cut the circle by hand, but if you have a Big Shot, use the Circle Framelits.

Box in a Card? Card in a Box? Either way, this project is fun! It fits in a standard medium envelope. When you take the card out of the envelope it pops into a box, open with hearts floating up. I showed one with balloons too.
I love the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder! You can’t buy it… at least not now. But you can get it FREE during Sale-a-bration through March 31, 2014! Or you can wait and pay your hard-earned money when the next annual catalog comes out in June.
We inked the folder with a brayer to color the background of the embossing. This can be done with any folder. The banner reads “You make me happy.” This card/box makes me happy!

So quick and so elegant! The Tag Topper Punch makes them quick and easy. We used the same gold embossing powder, gold foil, sequins, and Washi Tape on all of them, but everyone made them in different colors of card stock. They all looked great! I think they would look great in Real Red or really any dark color. I can see making hundreds of these for wedding or party favors.
The Night of Navy sample has a wider bottom and they fit a Hershey’s Nuggets just right. Even better, the ones with Almonds come in a matching gold wrapper!

The Envelope Punch Board makes the box easily. We lined it with the same Designer Series Paper. It’s just the right size for a gift card, but we put 3 chocolate hearts inside. The Spiral Flower Die helps make this 3-D flower pretty easily. It’s not something you could pop in the mail, but it makes a gorgeous gift to hand to a friend.

What a sweet card! It must be honey from bee that makes it so sweet. The Hexagon Hive Thinlit makes it easy. Tip: Use wax paper from the kitchen between the card stock and the die so the pieces will pop out. Use the cut out hexagons to decorate this card or another one. The hexagon punch works well to show off the flower from the Springtime Hello stamp set.

This is another one of those thrifty cards using every little bit of paper. The Designer Series Paper uses measurements evenly divided by 12, the dimensions of the paper. The Tangerine Tango is also just about 1/8′ of a sheet of card stock. The 2 poppies that are cut out came from the portion hidden by the Whisper White layer. There was even enough to cut out slivers with the Word Window Punch to frame the greeting. The Whisper White is just a bit smaller than that, but the left-over strip is used for the greeting cut with the Word Window Punch. If you decide to use the Decorative Label Punch for the greeting instead, you can take it from a layer inside the card and then replace that with a punch from the Tangerine Tango.
And isn’t this stamp set wonderful? I sure hope this gets carried over into the new annual catalog! I think it’s a keeper!
