Hey everyone! I hope this finds you all well and enjoying your Wednesday. Things are quiet here--perfect for a blog post, lol!
Today's feature is a box card and corner bookmark gift set. This card was super easy to make! I found the instructions on the Splitcoast Stamper site here. I love this website! I have found so much great inspiration there!
The unique thing about a box card is that it folds flat for mailing, but when the recipient removes the belly band and opens it, the card folds out into the shape of a box.
To create the sentiment, I used my oval die and stamp set from My Favorite Things. I stamped the sentiment on recycled acetate taken from the blister packaging from a Cricut cartridge. I always use black Stazon Ink in this instance. I then ran it through my Big Kick with the oval die.
I decided to pop the sentiment up for a little bit of dimension using very small, flat beads hidden just underneath the stamped border. You can see them below if you look closely. I used Glossy Accents to adhere the beads to the acetate.
I wanted to add a gift inside, but the gift had to be small and flat in order to fit properly when folded closed. What better gift than a corner bookmark! They are easy to make and very handy to use. Although mine is slightly modified, you can find a general tutorial here. I made this one using coordinating papers and ribbons.
The embellishments match those on the belly band of the card and I scored lines in the flowers to match the others. Here is a closer view...

The card was made according to the tutorial, but the envelope was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Wild Card cartridge. I used some flower embellishments made from colored vellum. Using an embossing tool and pad, I added some additional interest to the flowers and topped them with a pretty fabric-covered brad.
