We made 3 projects this month and you’ll love seeing how 2 of them tie together! The first project is this cute fun fold card. Similar to another card (see Simply Saturday episode 171 on my YouTube channel) it’s a version of a gate fold with a book binding element as well. The photo does NOT do justice to the paper. The Lovely and Beautiful DPS is extraordinary! With it’s gold accent, it is simply gorgeous. This same DSP gets used on project 3 as well. Note the Textured Notes Dies (used on the Fresh Freesia cardstock piece)…these are on the LAST Chance List and are discounted! Get them before it’s too late.

Project 2 is this Love-themed box. It is specifically created to hold the Stampin’ Up! notecards & envelopes. Everyone who attended Club got a blank box template to take home. This is a helpful tool allowing you to make boxes of various sizes. Begin with the dimensions of a desired box, then use the template/guide to figure out what size of cardstock (or DSP) you need to start with, and where to make your score lines. Watch the video for better understanding. Here is the box with Endless Love stamps, dies and the Made With Love DSP.

And then for project 3, we made a sweet little card using the Stampin’ Up! Notecards & Envelopes. This is an easily overlooked item that really should be remembered. Pre cut and scored notecards that are ready to be used. And they come with matching envelopes. The completed card is 3 1/2″ x 5″ which is a nice size down from the typical cards we make that measure 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. You’ll love this adorable card AND this is the size that fits in the box we made as project 2.
Look how sweet Woolly Friends stamps and coordinating punch are! And NOT just for Easter. The sentiments give you lots of options including “Welcome cutie” for a baby card. At the time of this post, Woolly Friends bundle is sold out – but it’s coming back! Be sure to make a reminder to put this in your card mid-April when it’s available again.
