Today is Tuesday’s Tips & Techniques. I have a video to show you tonight on my Facebook page at 8:00PM EST featuring the June Paper Pumpkin “A little Smile”. I took the pieces of the kit and turned it into this super fun Framed Box with a pull out booklet with a cards and spots for gift cards.
There is a lot to this card today. It has a framed center which holds cards and also gift cards. When you pull the center out you still have a beautiful card that you can display. Everything on this card is from the June Paper Pumpkin Kit “A Little Smile”. The only thing I added was the 8 1/2″ X 11″ Coastal Cabana card stock.
See in the above photo when the “booklet” is removed you still have a sweet card.
This was the first time I tried to create this type of fun fold card. I saw a card using this technique on Deb Valder’s blog and new right away I wanted to give it a try with the June Paper Pumpkin kit. The contents of this kit were perfect for this type of card.
Because Deb’s card used different stamp sets and I was making mine around the dimensions of the Paper Pumpkin mini cards I had to change up the dimensions to fit my cards from the kit. I’m not going to lie it took quite a bit of tweaking and trial and error before I got my finished project. Hopefully after watching the video tonight you will make it up in no time. I’ve done all the hard work for you. 🙂
Inside the booklet I have another card and 2 slots for your gift cards. You could easily make this for a graduation card and slip in a gift card and cash or check into the pockets.
Love the Beach theme of this project and it would also be excellent as a Wedding card. If you have any summer weddings this would be awesome!
