Bathing Beauties Card in a Box

Summer is in the air here in Arizona, the mercury is over 90 degrees here today. HOT!! It was a good day to play with these bathing beauties:

 

You can find them here: Ewe-N-Me Printables. You get 6 different images in 2 different sizes for a total of 12 images and you can print as many pages as you need. I really love the retro look of these images.

 

Collage sheets are perfect for making a Card in a Box.

 

After I printed and cut my images out, the card was very easy to assemble, I just followed the general instructions for cutting and assembling the card then added Deena's darling images,  a sentiment and some flowers.

 

All of the papers are from my stash as well as all of the flowers.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch

These hang tags are so cute, I decided to have some fun by using them for a card in a box, one of my favorite card shapes.

The tags are double sided with different pictures/sentiments on each side. You get 4 different designs making a total of 8 tags. They can be used as either single or double sided tags.



 The card is cut from a 12" x 12" piece of Kraft paper, I used orange glitter paper for the added pumpkins.

After folding my tags in half I punched holes and added eyelets and twine to the tops.

I took close up pictures of each tag for you to get a better look.

The crow buttons are painted with black chalk paint with champagne Craft Twinkles for tails, I also added some google eyes to some of the extra pumpkins I cut.

I will be entering this into challenge:  Blog Quick Quotes Friday Challenge 56.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

St. Patty's Card in a Box

I used two different printables on this Card in a box: St. Patty's Tickets Hang Tags and I used some of the St. Patty's Collage Sheet that I used for last week's rocker cards.

 

You get 2 tickets of each design for a total of 10 tickets.

 

You get 2 of each design in 2 different sizes for a total of 12 hang tags. I used 3 of the larger images and 3 of the smaller images.

 

If you have never made a card in a box before, here is a Card in a Box Tutorial on youtube for you to watch. They really are rather easy once you make the first one.

 

I printed my printable files onto white cardstock and cut them out then I did my cutting and measuring for the card in a box. The card itself is cut on a cream cardstock, layered with some green and cream stripped paper on the bottom sections and a Kraft paper with green stripes on the upper sections.

 

Assemble the card, use 3 of the large images on the bottom sections of the card, the tickets on the upper sections. I cut out a few shamrocks with my Cricut, first going around the edges with my Cricut Ink, then with the blade. I used a large shamrock to mount a small image onto the embellishment support in the back.

 

 

I used some scraps from the Kraft paper for the supports rather than the ones cut from the cream cardstock because the Kraft paper was much sturdier than the cream.

 

 

I used one of each ticket and sprinkled a few shamrocks around. This does fold semi-flat for mailing. Box cards can be used for almost every occasion and are a lot of fun to make.

 

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.
