12/17/23 Rising Star at A Place To Start!
Hey everybody, Happy Saturday! Christmas will be here in a couple days and then in another week we’ll be headed into a brand new year. Can you believe it?! I’m thrilled to be back with another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project to share created with the new Pure Imagination Collection. I created a fun tuxedo box card featuring papers and die cut pieces. My inspiration came from Sam Calcott over at Mixed Up Craft. She is amazing and makes some of the coolest projects!

The tuxedo card base was cut from CutCardStock Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with layers from several coordinating papers in the 6×9 Collection Pack. I cut acetate strips and adhered an assortment of Die Cut Pieces to the ends with Therm-O-Web Zots, and then arranged them in the box card. The finishing touch was adding a die cut sentiment to the front.

I layered the back panels on a paper from the Collection Pack and added sentiment die cuts.
