Transform our newest special release page kit, Tiny Blossoms, into twelve cards and two gift boxes, perfect for gifting!
Tiny Blossoms Cards and Gift Boxes
To get started, gather the following:
Tiny Blossoms Page Kit
Confetti (01.20) Card Kit Instructions
Kit No. 301 Word Art Strip (or assorted sentiment stamps)
White Envelopes: Four each of A2 Envelopes, A6, and A7, plus two 4-Bar (3-5/8 x 5-1/8") for bonus cards
Sort, trim and score your papers according to the sketches and cutting diagrams in the Confetti Card Kit Instructions. I utilized the following paper substitutions for each step below:
- Dk. Pink, Lt. Pink
- Aqua, Seafoam
- Dk. Pink, Lt. Pink
- Large Flower Print
- Aqua, Seafoam
- Lt. Pink, Soft White
Trim the Tiny Blossoms cutaparts as normal. Modify as needed to decorate the inside and outside of the cards.
Create two 3x4.25" panels for the shaker cards by cutting the "picture perfect" cutapart at 8.5 and 4.25". Trim two more 3x4.25 panels from one Small Flower Print. (These panels were originally part of the Confetti Card Kit cutaparts. Set the rest of the print aside for use as decoration later.)
Note: Because this is a special release, you'll have four sheets of paper left over. In this case, one each of the Large Flower Print, Small Flower Print, Dk. Pink and Seafoam will remain—set these aside to construct the gift boxes.
Set A (Four A2 Shaker Cards)
Follow the general assembly guidelines on Page 3 of the instructions, filling each opening with a small scoop of the confetti sequin mix.
Fill three window "frames" with the round flower images from the cutaparts. The fourth frame features a square cut from a Large Flower Print scrap.
Add stamped sentiments or greetings from the Word Art Strip.
Set B (Four A6 Cards)
Follow the basic assembly as outlined on Page 4 of the instructions. In lieu of the foil included in the Confetti kit, consider adding 1.75x5.75" printed panels (trimmed from the left over Small Flower Print), or adding texture to the plain 2x6" panels with embossing folders.
Center a mini sleeve onto the flap of two cards. Make two 2.25x4" tags from scraps of Soft White; round the corners and tuck into each sleeve.
Decorate the two remaining A6 cards with trimmed cutaparts, ribbon and confetti sequins.
Set C (Four A7 Cards)
Follow the card assembly guidelines on Page 5 of the instructions document. The size and design made these cards perfect for showcasing the sentiment cutapart strips. (The second "half" of the sentiments are used inside the card.)
Embellish with fussy cut flowers trimmed from the cutapart artwork with scissors, as well as confetti sequins.
(2) 3.5x5" Bonus Cards
Follow the card assembly guidelines on Page 5 of the instructions document.
Center a Felt Flower (Happy Life 01.25) onto the printed square on each card. Add a sentiment.
Card Boxes
As mentioned above, you'll have four 12x12 sheets left over creating the Tiny Blossoms cards: One each of the Small Flower Print, Large Flower Print, Dk. Pink and Seafoam. It's easy to create two gifts when you transform these papers into card boxes.
