With a few adjustments to the Vintage Botany Club Stamp Card instructions, I created 10 cards with gift box from the Photo Booth page kit!
Since the instructions are written for 8.5 x 11 papers, trimming each 12x12 will yield 8 bonus cards!
PHOTO BOOTH CARDS
Begin by trimming each 12x12 at 8.5". Trim the 8.5 x 12" horizontally at 11". Set aside two 8.5 x 11" papers to use for your box base and lid. From there, simply follow the assembly line card making instructions with the ten remaining 8.5 x 11" papers to make ten A2 cards.

EASEL CARDS
Trim the remaining four 3.5 x 12" pieces horizontally at 10. Score horizontally at 5 and 8". Stamp quote on glassine envelope with StazOn. Add photo turns to bottom of envelope. Adhere film strip washi tape to bottom panel.
Create collage background and stamp sentiment. Trim edge of ribbon. Tie twine in bow through button and adhere. Add second sentiment to bottom of easel card.
Using an embossing folder, emboss card panels. Distress edges of Cutapart. Stamp “perfect” and trim to fit bronze frame.
Using an embossing folder, emboss tan panel. Use oval die to trim Cutapart. Loop twine and adhere behind sentiment using foam adhesive. Die cut a simple sentiment if desired.
BOX ASSEMBLY
I didn't notice the direction of the printed artwork on the paper before scoring, so my box had the images upside down. To resolve this, I created matted panels from left over papers and added them to the front and back sides of the box.
Attach bronze frame with brads. Hand write title. Decorate with die cut ribbon and sprigs of greenery.
I hope I've demonstrated the incredible card making potential of Club Scrap's page kits. Don't be afraid to give it a try!
