Box Stand-Up Card Tutorial Christmas Versions

I will show you in the video below, how to make these adorable Box Stand-Up! Cards

 You will need: 

Cardstock: 8.5 X 5.5  Score along long edge at 1/2", 1", 4.5", and 5"

On the side that has the short edge scores, this will be your front so you will want to cut or punch out the areas that you want for your windows using circle or rectangle framelets or punches.

You'll want a good heavy adhesive like Stampin' Seal+ to hold it together

This video will walk you step by step thru this project

hope you enjoy!

Shutter Card Tutorial with Step-By-Step Video

 I have always resisted making this fold because, from the look of it, it is too hard to do or too time consuming.  When one of my team members demonstrated this fold for our virtual team meeting, I realized just how easy it was! And I just had to make my own. I hope you enjoy it too.

I apologize, that this stamp set is retired...I guess and happens to be the second stamp set that I've used in the last 2 weeks that was retired.  I actually employed helpers to change out stuff after the new catalog and I guess that's not something I can afford to delegate from now on!

So, here's the front of the card:

And here is the open version with the belly band off

Here's how to cut your cardstock:

Base: 8 1/2 X 5 1/2 inches  Score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8

Front: Designer Series Paper: 5 3/8 X 2 1/8

Inside Sheeth: Cardstock 3 1/4 X 5 1/2

Designer Paper 3 X 5 1/4

Shutter: 3 X 3 3/4 (2 pieces)

Score on long side at 3/8" and apply tear and tape 

To make the tail: Mark center of 3" side and move up 1 3/4" from the bottom

Then cut from the point to the mark on each side

Sentiment: 2 1/4 X 2 1/4

Belly Band: 1 1/2 X 9  Score at 2 1/2 and 6 3/4 plus a hair

And finally, Here's the video I did to show you step by step

Slimline Cards and Hand-made envelope to match

 Let's be honest:

....basic sized cards are simple, make the least amount of wasted cardstock 

and though beautiful, can sometimes just be that...simple...and maybe you get bored.  

So we stepped it up a notch today and we are making a slimline card but then we have to make our own envelope because you just can't find that size easily!  

I have actually turned it into a money holder card cuz I want to make sure I help to keep currency going...how bout you?

Here's the Video I did 

Supplies:

Envelope: Designer paper 9 1/4" X11 3/4"  

Score with the shortest side along the top at 2 3/8" and 6 1/2"

Turn the paper so the long edge is at the top and score at 1 1/2" and 11"

Trim out all four corners.  

Card:  Cardstock 9" X 8 1/2"

Score on the short side at 3 3/4" and 7.5"

Early espresso layer: 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" 

Designer paper layer: 3" X 8 1/4" 

Stamped piece: 3 1/4" X 2 3/4" 

Copper embossed piece: 2" X 7"

Utilizing those extra die-cuts: 3 ideas from 1 original card

So I started out with this card design

but as it morphed into it's lovely completion, I started to think of how i could use the cut out parts to the best advantage.  You can watch the video to see this card come together and then see the second card that came out of it.   

Here's the video, recorded as a Live

So here are the 2 cards I showed in the video:

But I still had plenty of pieces leftover and I needed to design a swap card 

so I used the Petty Peacock cut-out quarter sheets and the long skinny leaves that had been cut out of the first card in the Cinnamon Cider color and I stamped them with Pretty Peacock, sponged the edges with Cajun Craze and added this qorgeous Designer Paper from Gilded Autumn

Here's that last card a little closer up and a slightly different finish!
