Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a super fun Envelope Box Card featuring our Bumble Bee Brads and Pink Jewel Bling! I love my Scan N Cut and I always cut several projects when I take it out of the cabinet for a crafty session, and this card was one from the latest batch. I really enjoyed this!

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Navy cardstock, and the rest of the pieces from CutCardStock Basis White cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Magenta cardstock CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Dolphin cardstock and Colorbok Seeing Dots cardstock. Then the fun began of assembling the card! I added the sentiment using die cut letters and some Pink Jewel Bling. I added several Bumble Bee Brads and then added more Pink Jewel Bling to the flowers.

Here’s a shot from another angle.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! I can’t say enough about all the fun products at Eyelet Outlet! They really bring a project to life!

Season’s Greetings To You & Yours

12/5/21 Top 5 at Jan’s Digi Stamps Challenges!

Happy Hump Day, y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! I’m thrilled to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring red, white and green cardstock which is all on sale this month so be sure to stock up for your holiday crafting! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I have one of the easiest card designs ever to share with you today using Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock, Basis Red cardstock, Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, Basis Green cardstock and Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock! While I used a die set with a different name for this design team project, I found handwritten measurements for an ‘open box card’ (with angled sides) in my tutorial arsenal and typed up a tutorial that I’ll share. The only differences between the die set and my handwritten instructions are the shape and the width of the box layer strips. And, of course, the sky is the limit with regard to occasion, embellishments and sentiments. ;)

I die cut the card base and box layer strips from Silk Glitter Opulent Opal cardstock and assembled the card. This is where the lightbulb came on… this assembled piece looked familiar so I sat down with my tutorial files (about 6″ worth) and looked through most of the files until I found measurements I had written down (who knows how long ago) for the open box card. If you’re interested, I’ve added the open box card tutorial HERE. Bear in mind that the box layer strips on this project using the die set are slightly narrower but achieve the same result, and the shape is different. I die cut the three poinsettia flowers from Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock, the poinsettia leaves from Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock, the greenery and berries from Basis Red cardstock and Basis Green cardstock, and the flower centers from Basis Gold cardstock. I assembled the poinsettias and set them aside. I die cut the sentiment from Stardream Metallic Jupiter cardstock and again from Basis Green cardstock and layered them together with just a tad bit of the dark green showing beneath the red. I stamped the sentiment in green ink on a Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock scrap and die cut it with a stitched rectangle die, and layered it on a slightly larger stitched rectangle die cut from Pop-Tone Jellybean Green cardstock. I adhered one of the poinsettias on the top of the sentiment and adhered the piece to the left side, the second poinsettia to the right side and the third poinsettia in the middle.

Here is a shot from overhead so you can see the construction (which, as mentioned above, is the same as the typical box card but with an open front), and another shot of the card folded flat for mailing in a standard A2 size envelope.

And a few more peeks of the finished project… so loving how this turned out! Let me know if you end up making an open box card using my measurements! This is definitely a fun one! I’ve made several over the years but didn’t use any of them as design team projects so they didn’t get posted on my blog. This design makes beautiful sympathy, birthday, anniversary, and of course Christmas cards!

Friends Are Flowers Envelope Box Card

Hi friends! A very Happy Friday to you – I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this afternoon with a Trinity Stamps Ambassador inspiration project that I finished up yesterday afternoon which I’m super stoked to share! If you know me, you know I absolutely love fun folds, and box cards are at the top of the list of my favorites! Trinity Stamps recently released their Summer Blooms Floral Papercrafting Kit and I had a blast stamping, coloring and die cutting all the blooms in this kit for my envelope box card! This is my own design that I created with my WRMK Envelope Punch Board and this one does not fold flat for mailing like the typical box card (which I did for more stability) but I plan to work on an envelope box card design that does fold flat, so stay tuned! ;)

I cut the envelope base from CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, scored and punched it with the WRMK Envelope Punch Board, and covered the flaps with gingham paper. Using the Summer Blooms Floral Papercrafting Kit, I stamped the blooms (in multiples) on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock, colored them with alcohol markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies (also included in the kit), and arranged them in layers on the front and inside of the box. I stamped a sentiment from the Friends Are Flowers stamp set, trimmed it and layered it on black cardstock. The final step was adding gemstones from the Summer Sparkles Embellishment Mix (also included in the kit) with the Trinity Pick-Up Stick which really added some pretty sparkle.

Looking at the overhead shot, you can see there are three layers of blooms. I embellished the back of the box with a strip of the pink gingham paper and a piece of Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock. Using stamps from Supporting Script Sentiments stamp set and Just For You stamp set, I stamped the sentiment in black and pink ink.

And one more peek… so loving how this turned out! It took a little while to stamp, color and die cut all the blooms, but it was well worth it!

No one’s butter than YOU!

Hi everyone! A very Happy Saturday to you – I hope you’ve had a great week! Things are status quo here. The hubs had a pinched ulnar nerve released in his left arm several days ago and is doing well. I have to keep reminding him to take it easy and not over use his arm… you know how men are! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’m thrilled to be back on the Eyelet Outlet blog today with another awesome DT inspiration project! I created a fun birthday popcorn machine box card featuring our Popcorn & Ticket Brads and Red Jewel Bling! This was definitely a fun one! My Scan N Cut lives in a cabinet to keep it from getting dusty, and when I bring it out, I typically cut multiple files which keep me busy assembling for weeks to come. ;)

I cut the box card base from CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, and all the elements from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock, Hygloss Silver Foil cardstock, and K & Co. Essentials Dark designer paper. I assembled the card and added a stamped sentiment, a Ticket Brad and Red Jewel Bling.

Here’s a shot of the back showing an additional sentiment and a Popcorn Brad on the signature panel.

And one more peek… what a super fun card! As you well know, I absolutely LOVE box cards and I really enjoyed creating this one, and these brads were just the ‘ticket!’

You Rock!

Hey everybody! Hope you’re having an amazing weekend! It’s been quiet here and I’ve gotten a little studio time in while hubby is tending to his garden. We are both in awe over his green thumbs! We had air fried green tomatoes for dinner last night and they were amazing! We have a friend who cans every Summer, and she and Ed have worked out an agreement where Ed shares garden produce with her which she cans and shares some back with us. Love it! ;) Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Today I’m sharing a fun masculine birthday card I created for my musician son (who plays guitar and drums) that I’m entering into The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge. The theme is ‘Make It Masculine’ and this is perfect! The challenge ends tonight so I better get on the stick and get it entered! ;)

I used My Scrap Chick’s fun Rock Band Box Card cut file with my Scan N Cut. I cut all the pieces from CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Gold cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, CutCardStock Curious Metallic White Gold cardstock, Hygloss Silver Foil cardstock and Hygloss Gold Foil cardstock. I stamped the front sentiment in black ink using The Project Bin Jukebox Birthday stamp set.

I stamped back sentiment using the Inspired By Stamping Little Phrases stamp set. L-O-V-E the bull horns! :D

And one more look… this was a blast putting together! Box cards are one of my all-time favorites because they always pack a punch and the recipients always love them! Plus they can be displayed for a long while after they are opened! ;)

The smell of Christmas goodies

Ahoy, Mateys… okay, this is my last post for today. I don’t particularly like having to write so many blog posts (with interruptions from the hubs and cats) but I do enjoy sharing my projects! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! This adorable apron box card is for The Outlawz Festive Fridays Challenge where the themes to choose from are Christmas, Thinking of You, Anything Goes or Congratulations, and I chose the Christmas theme this time. Isn’t this apron just the cutest?!

I cut the pieces for the box card from CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Brown cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Teal cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock, and The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between -2- paper pad, and assembled the card.

I typed the sentiment in brown font, trimmed it and layered it on brown cardstock. I found it handwritten in my stuff and I don’t know who to credit; I’m sure I found it online at some point and thought it was cute, so I jotted it down. It’s perfect for this box card!

And one more look… this is so stinkin’ cute, I can’t stand it! It’s already slated to go to a dear someone who loves to cook! ;)

Cycle-Riding Santa!

Hi friends! Hope you’re having a great week! We’re on the downside to the weekend and time is zooming by! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I’ve popped in this morning to share a project I’m entering into The Outlawz Sunday Songs & Rhymes Challenge where SheepSki Designs is sponsoring and the theme is the song or rhyme “The Open Road.” My inspiration came literally from the word ‘travel’ so I decided to share a cycle-riding Santa box card that I made with my Scan N Cut. What a hoot! He’s definitely ridin’ in for the challenge, lol!

I sure do love me some box cards and made quite a few for a variety of occasions while I had my Scan N Cut out several weeks ago. I cut the pieces for this one from CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, CutcardStock Basis Black cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock scrap, and Hygloss Silver Foil cardstock.

I cut the sentiment panel on the back from CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, and stamped the sentiment from The Project Bin Mid Century Christmas stamp set. So perfect!

And one more look… so smitten with this one! He’s so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it! The best part about box cards is they fold flat for mailing!

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: CutCardStock Basis Dark Red cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Red cardstock, CutcardStock Basis Black cardstoc k, CutCardStock Basis Light Brown cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock, Neenah Classic Crest Baronial Ivory cardstock scrap, Hygloss Silver Foil cardstock, CutCardStock Basis Green cardstock

Life is better in flip flops.

Hi friends! Today is the last Monday in May (already!) – and if you’re in the States, please take a moment to honor all the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the US military as we observe Memorial Day. Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! Since making my blog public again a few days ago (after being private for a couple weeks), my stats are once again soaring. I believe I know who my frequent visitor is and I’m no longer thinking the frequent visits are a bad thing. So visit away, sweet one! ;) I think I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I got my lonely Scan N Cut out of the box and played for a couple days, cutting and assembling some pretty fun box cards and gift boxes. I made 12 projects in all, and six of them are complete with sentiments so I’ve taken pics of those and will start sharing them. I’ll share the other six a little later after I’ve added the sentiments to them. This super cute beach bag box card is for a friend who is a real beach fiend… mention anything ‘beach’ and she’s on it! ;)

I cut the base from CutCardStock Basis Teal and the trim from Basis Aqua, and the rest of the pieces from Basis Gold, Basis Gray, Basis Green, Basis Magenta, Basis Pink, and Basis Red, along with Granny Smith and Adobo Textured 4×6 cardstock. I absolutely love the CutCardStock Basis line because it’s 80# and a great weight for projects like this. After everything was adhered in place, I added some pretty iridescent gemstones to the flip flops and slightly smaller ones to the sunglasses.

I stamped and embossed the sentiment from The Project Bin Summer Fun stamp set on Grafix Craft Plastic – the first time I’ve ever embossed on acetate and it worked like a charm! I stamped the sentiment in StazOn Jet Black, and since it dries fairly quickly, I stamped it again in Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. That stays wet a little longer and allowed me time to sprinkle some Hero Arts Clear embossing powder onto it and emboss it before the ink dried. OMGosh, I have to detour for a minute… my friend Vicki mentioned a while back that she bought some Catherine Pooler inks and how juicy they were. And since I was in the process of removing 67 Stampin’ Up ink pads from my stash and replacing them with all the Memento colors, I looked at CP inks as well. I have always been a Memento ink fan but their color range isn’t that broad, so… I splurged last month on the 68 full-size Catherine Pooler ink pad bundle and I’m SO glad I did! The color range is phenomenal and she’s even added a few more colors since I bought mine so I’ll have to get them too, lol! Okay, back to my project… I trimmed the stamped and embossed acetate piece, rounded the corners, and adhered it to the back, leaving just enough room to sign beneath it. That’s it – LOVE how this turned out and I know my friend is going to love it too! And the cool thing about box cards is they fold flat for mailing! ;)

Products used:
Cardstock/Paper: CutCardStock 80# Basis Aqua, Basis Gold, Basis Gray, Basis Green, Basis Magenta, Basis Pink, Basis Red, and Basis Teal cardstock; CutCardStock Granny Smith cardstock, CutCardStock Adobo Textured 4×6 cardstock

YAY! It’s your freakin’ birthday

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday – hope you have a great week coming up! Our new challenge is live over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m super stoked to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #50 – September Anything Goes! I created a different kind of box card to showcase this month. I found this tutorial several months ago at Splitcoast Stampers HERE and created one in a Christmas theme at that time, so I thought a birthday box card was in order using the super funny Hero Arts Irreverent Birthday Messages stamp set!

I stayed with an ivory and black color scheme with just a pop of color. The next three photos are shots of the belly band off the card and the box opening up…

The card in the bottom of the box comes out to make it easy for the recipient to sign. Isn’t the sentiment just a hoot?! I think it’s more funny to me because I don’t drink anymore, lol!

Here’s one more look… super happy with how this turned out! This Hero Arts stamp set is one of my all-time favorites! You just can’t go wrong if you’re trying to make somebody laugh!

Feel Better Soon

Hi, friends! What does the camel say?! Lol, you know that one! A new challenge is live over at Love To Craft Challenge Blog and I’m thrilled to share my DT inspiration project for LTCCB #48 – July Anything Goes! Those who know me know that I REALLY love fun folds – so I created a pop-up flower pot get well card to showcase this month! I’m proud to say that this design is my own! I did attempt another pop-up flower pot card I found a tutorial on a few months back and let’s just say it didn’t go as planned, lol, so I designed a more sturdy and more simple construction.

After creating the flower pot which is a ‘box’ design that folds flat, I used two flower punches along with a leaf punch and a variety of bright-colored cardstock to create 13 flowers and leaves. There are 12 flowers for the pot and one for the belly band. I added a green Dot Sparkler to the center of each flower and arranged a panel of six flowers for each side, gluing them down as I went.

I created two gingham bases with magnets. The flower pot and sentiment are affixed to the main base which folds flat for mailing. The second base is constructed of 110# kraft cardstock and attaches to the main base to hold it open for display.

And here’s one more look with the card folded flat (held with a belly band) ready for mailing. Love how this turned out and will eventually add my template with instructions to the ‘freebies’ section on my blog!
