I used the two balloon stamp sets, Balloon Bash and Celebrate Today, for one of the box cards for Tuesday's class and while still on my desk, decided to make a card. I had recently seen a z-fold card. This fold has been around for a long time but it's always fun to bring new life to an old style. Take an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of cardstock. Position the longer side along the top edge of the score board and make two score lines, one at 2", the other at 4-1/4". So, when you sit down to make a card, try this one out; I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Thought I would share the wonderful class we had last night. Five ladies joined me in learning how to make the fabulous box card. We made two of them using the Butterflies Basics, Balloon Bash and Celebrate Today stamp sets. Essential tools for making a box card is the Stampin' Trimmer for cutting your paper and the Simply Scored board for scoring your cardstock. Also, because we had to add some diagonal score lines to the project, we used the Simply Scored Diagonal Scoring Plate (item #125586 $15.95). Here are the cards up close.

The end of May is busy for me as I have a couple of weekends away but I'm happy to host a class on Tuesday evening, May 19 at 7:00 PM . I've selected a box card template to make two cards. This box card is very easy to create from one sheet of 8.5 x 11 inch card stock, some Designer Series Paper and a few embellishments. Wrap it with ribbon and you have a unique looking card. I'll have a template for you to take home so you can make some more. Register on my Events page or notify me by email .
