Fun Fold Cards

Make It Monday #122-Hand-Sanitizer Gift Box!

Hello friends, it is time again for another Make It Monday tutorial and today I am sharing with you how to create a gift box for the holidays that perfectly fits the mini hand-sanitizers from Bath and Body. This is a great stocking stuffer and the perfect holiday gift for your co-workers.

Download the template below and you will be able to create three gift boxes using one sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock. Of course you will need extra cardstock, designer series paper and bling to decorate your boxes, so have fun creating. As you know I am preparing for a weekend vendor event in Danvers, Illinois and so many of the supplies I am using today are retired, but not to worry I am sure you already have most of the supplies you will need to create these boxes adorable boxes.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Darling Donkeys Birthday Bonanza

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card features a Z-Fold card using the Darling Donkey’s Sale-A-Bration set. I created a similar version for my January stamp camp. Z-fold cards are so fun and easy too! I hope you enjoy hopping along with us today.

  • Begin with a Cherry Cobbler card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”.  In landscape position, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”.  The first score will fold your card in half, Fold the second score back onto itself to create the Z-Fold.  That’s all there is to it!
  • Cut two strips of your favorite Designer series paper 1 ¾ x 5 ¼”.  Layer these on the 2 inch panels.
  • Next cut two coordinating rectangles from the Stitched so Sweetly Dies, the larger one is cut using Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the smaller one with Basic White. 
  • Stamp one of the Darling Donkeys on the White cardstock and color with watercolor pencils and layer this on the Cherry Cobbler rectangle.
  • Stamp “Hey There Friend” in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock and cut out using the paper snips and put it up on the corner of the donkey with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Next attach the Donkey rectangle to the front of the Z-fold 2” panel making sure to only apply adhesive to the left side.

Now let’s create the inside-

  • Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and layer on the inside. 
  • Stamp Happy Birthday at the bottom of this white layer and add a ¼ x 4” strip of Cherry Cobbler just above the greeting. 
  • Stamp two of the other Donkeys on white cardstock, color with watercolor pencils and fussy cut out. If you prefer, just stamp directly to the inside white cardstock panel and color. Using the brown watercolor pencil create a ground under the donkeys. 
  • Stamp you’re the best in Memento Black ink and Hee Haw in Cherry Cobbler on some Basic White cardstock and cut out with the paper snips.  If you don’t want the added dimension or if you don’t enjoy fussy cutting, simply stamp the words directly to the inside cardstock.

Z-Fold cards are so fun and while they look complicated, they really are simple, just one additional score line and you have it. I hope you enjoy all the wonderful cards made by my very creative teammates.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
