BYOP Boxed Card Set!

This project includes five over the top cards that each show a different method for holding a gift card inside the card. With this project we explore using the BYOP stamp set and Adventure Bound Designer Series Papers to create five beautiful cards and a lovely storage box to keep them in. You will get the opportunity to use each and every image included in the BYOP stamp set to create cards for five different occasions.

 

This awesome project was made by Amanda Corbet, and you can get her tutorial over at Craft Project Central when you meet one of the bonus project requirements of subscribing to two or more months in a row, putting the Craft Project Central badge on your blog, or referring a friend and when you subscribe, letting us know!!

Gift Card Enclosure Treat Box for Class!

This sweet little treat box is one of the projects we'll be making at stamp class this week! Our theme for class is 'a little bit of Goodbyes paired with a little bit Current'. So this 'box' is made from the super-cool Gift Card Enclosure pre-cuts. I'm sad to see them go - so versatile for a cute way to give a gift card... 

Not only a cute way to give a gift card, but also a fun way to package a little treat! So we'll be making this treat box, and the 'healthy treat' of almonds will be part of the project too! ;)

Hope to see you at class,

Something Borrowed Gift Ensemble!

Paper flowers are a great way to dress up any table for a Spring party. Use this floral display around cupcakes, candles, or a cake stand. After the party, you can use the wreath to decorate your door. The neutral colors of the Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper will work well with most party themes and home décor.

Mother's Day Memory Folder & Card!

Sometimes you need more than a card to express how much your mom means to you. This beautiful little folder tells her five different ways, and it doubles as a hanging organizer to keep business and appointment cards, coupons, or little mementos. The pockets are the perfect size for Project Life cards, so this can also be used as a Brag Book later. Create a coordinating card and a napkin holder or gift box topper to make Mom’s day extra special. This would make a fun “class with purchase” or a girls’ night out event.
