Christmas Gift Card Class - making sets of notecards to give away

This weekend I held a class where participants made 2 little sets of notecards, boxed up and ready to give away. Single pot plant from Gift from the Garden coloured with markers. cut using Stitched Sirdcle Framelits, note the 1/2" strip of DSP from the envelopes. I was fortunate to have enough of these fabulous retired boxes for everyone to parcel up their packs, but there are plenty of other packaging options You could make a larger envelope using the envelope punch board You could make a box using a sturdy card like the Kraft cardstock and the Envelope Punch Board. - I often use the Box Buster by The Crafty Owl, you can find this fabulous tool for calculating the size of card you need and the score lines here . Joanne has created this great site and allows anyone to use it You could use the Kraft Tag and Bag  you could use the Mini Treat Thinlits and create a bag At any rate, a set of cards is always a sweet gift. I had created several options but they

Camera in a Box

I made this card earlier in the year for a good friend. I just discovered I neglected to post it, and I don't seem to have any directions and measurements recorded anywhere here!! I love the Card in a Box format and this post includes directions and measurements - with thanks to others as I have borrowed pictures from on the web!! There is a lot of cutting and prepping but the effort is worth it. This is a cool video with the basics here How to make a pop up card box tutorial FREE Card Template - YouTube You can decorate each of the panels which are highlighted with one or 2 layers. layers: cut 2 each: 2"     ' x 5 7/8" 1 7/8" x 5 3/4" cut 3 each: 2"       x 2 5/8" 1 7/8" x  2 1/2" 2"       x 3" 1 7/8" x 2 7/8" Happy stamping, Liz

CTC#106 Favourite Hostess Set

Welcome from Monique's blog  as this week we use our favourite Hostess Set - well that's hard!! They are all super cute,  but if I have to pick fave well it has to be the Pun Intended set. I have used this set extensively for birthdays and father's day and just beecause! This week I have made a little set of 3x3 notecards - since that is the theme of my class this weekend. I am using current colours but making a big effort to use up some of the DSP I have in my stash, so this project uses some Cherry on Top papers. And in the tradition of using up bits on my desk ... a few quick notecards. I love the notecards in both white and crumb cake, they make it a snap to pull a quick notecard together, and at around 50c for the card and envelope they are a great item, make sure you add them to your list!
