Gift Card Box with Three Mini Pop-Up Cards

This card was made for Craft Roulette #224 whose parameters included mini cards, “a pretty day” colors, scent(s)/nose(s) and packaging.

I chose to make a gift card box with three mini pop-up cards to celebrate Christmas. Karen Burniston Dies were used to create the box and pop-up mechanisms.

Cardbases: Mini cards are 2 x 7-inch rectangles of double-sided papers folded in half and trimmed to fit inside the box.

Box:  Using Karen Burniston’s Candy Hearts Box die set, cut one of the box die. Assemble as shown in the video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue journaling cards to decorate the box.

Sewing Just For You

Today’s card is a simple one using Spellbinder’s BetterPress to create letterpress stamping elements.

I used press plates from two companies. The intricate zig-zag frames are from PinkFresh Studio and come with coordinating dies. I used the largest two printed frames in the set using Spellbinders BetterPress Ink in French Blue. (I ended up having to use bubble wrap packaging to get a good die-cut through the thick white watercolor paper that I printed them on.)

The sewing themed piece of thread card, scissors and thimble (on card back) came from the Spellbinders BetterPress of the month club for April 2024 – Stitched for You stamped in Tawny Brown ink on gray Spellbinders BetterPress Cotton Card Panel. The circle sentiment is another Spellbinder press plate and die set – Sealed Cord & Faux Seal Sentiments printed Spellbinders white cotton card panel with the same brown ink.

For the cardbase I used a purchased one with envelope from American Crafts. Stamped on the back flap of the envelope is a pincushion image from Fun Stampers Journey using Stampin’ Up Crumb Cake ink.
