Fast Friday Cards

It's Friday!! This Friday's Fast Cards features a boxed set of 6 thank you cards. The entire project took about an hour or so including the time it took to drum up the design. But I was not going for 'time' since I was watching the debate, so sometimes I was a bit sidetracked. Anyway, I wanted to use a simple and fast design style that included pattern paper, cardstock and a simple sentiment. I chose the Basic Grey pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment and the flower on vanilla cardstock. Using my cuttlebug, I die-cut the cirlced sentiment. I cut the flowers and set aside for later assembly. When creating multiple cards, I find it easy to do one step multiplied by the amount of times you need to do cards. For instance, I cut all of my cardstock for the card base at once, then scored all at once.












Here are all six cards! They look so fancy together!


















This is a picture of one card with the matching card box. The box is made out of one 8.5 x 11 sheet of cardstock. The lid is a portion of another sheet of cardstock. I added some leftover pattern paper and placed a ribbon on the lid. The lid closes by a magnetic snap. I find the best way to adhere them is to use a hot glue gun; otherwise, the magnets are too powerful, causing the adhesive to not hold.

Instructions

1. Make card base by trimming cardstock to 4.25" x 11" then score at 5.5"
2. Trim pattern paper to about 4.25" x 2.5" then adhere to top of card base.
3. Trim brown carstock to about 4.25" x 1" then adhere to center of card base.
4. Die cut a circle and stamp sentiment on it.
5. Stamp flower on cardstock, then cut out and adhere to center of circle with dimensional.
6. Adhere circle to card base.
