Happy Valentine’s Day Birdhouse Box Card

Hey everybody! I’m back on this fine Saturday morning with my second project share for the CutCardStock My Sweet Valentine Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow! Be sure to hop along with us for a chance to win a $40 CutCardStock gift card! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’ve been having the best time playing with my Scan N Cut and thoroughly enjoyed creating the two Valentines from our amazing Basis cardstock for the hop. As mentioned in my last post, I’m showcasing both cards separately so I can enter them into some challenges. I am a fun fold geek and box cards run right there at the top of my favorite list! This card features lots of hearts in various forms and sizes, an adorable birdhouse adorned with red bling, embossed panels, and two of the cutest love birds ever perched in front of their house behind a white picket fence!

I cut all the pieces from Basis 80# Red cardstock, Basis 80# Pink cardstock, Basis 80# Black cardstock, Basis 80# White cardstock and Basis 80# Gold cardstock. Picking out the colors of cardstock is always fun when creating with the Scan N Cut, but I always look forward to the assembly the most! And the sentiment on the front of this card was also printed with the Scan N Cut using the draw feature which I’ve used several times and have grown to love!

Here’s a shot from a different angle. The back (which I didn’t photograph) is completely blank with plenty of room to write a custom message and sign.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. Another super cute box card that I’m totally in love with!

Hi everyone! Happy Saturday! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend… but if you don’t, let me suggest that you hop along with us in the CutCardStock My Sweet Valentine Blog Hop going on today and tomorrow for a chance to win a $40 CutCardStock gift card! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you – I really appreciate your support! I’m stoked to be participating in the hop showcasing two absolutely adorable box cards created with our amazing Basis cardstock and I’ve popped in to share my first project. I’m posting both cards separately so I can enter them into some challenges. Box cards are at the top of my all-time favorite list of fun folds and this one has several really cute features – metallic silver elements, stamped side and back panels, embossed tires, and lots of hearts (some adorned with red gemstones).

I cut all the pieces from Basis 80# Red cardstock, Basis 80# Pink cardstock, Basis 80# Black cardstock, Basis 80# White cardstock and Stardream Metallic Silver cardstock. To me, the real fun is assembling the box cards, and this one was no different! And I have to tell you that I was SO intimidated by the draw feature on my Scan N Cut that I’ve never (you read that right… never) used it in the 6+ years I’ve been using a Scan N Cut. Not sure what happened, but the process just clicked in my brain – I’ve used it several times now and love it!

There’s a panel on the back with a stamped sentiment and room for a signature.

And one more peek of the card folded flat for mailing. I’m so smitten with this card – it turned out so stinkin’ cute I can’t stand it!
