Today I have a little box that is just the perfect size for a gift card AND I have a video!
If making boxes seems intimidating, trust me, they are easy. Most boxes follow the same type of instructions and once you’ve made a few, you can whip right through them. The hardest part is figuring out the dimensions and I’ve done that for you!
It’s also quite easy to make your own shredded paper for the inside. Simply cut your cardstock very thin, scrunch it up and you have your own homemade filler for the box. How easy is that?
All of the supplies I used for both boxes can be found in the supply list below and can easily be ordered over at my online store. Don’t forget that Bonus Days are here until the end of July which means for every $50 purchase, you’ll receive a $5.00 Bonus Days coupon to spend in August.
Top of the box: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ score at 1″ on all four sides
Bottom of the box: 4-1/8″ x 5-1/2″ score at 1″ on all four sides (don’t forget to cut a smidge off of two connecting sides)
Designer Series Paper: 3-1/4″ x 2″

Today’s card is quick and easy! Look at those cute birds! The Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper is definitely the star of this card. It’s a shame to cover any of the paper with a sentiment but it definitely adds to the card.
Did you know that you can find the coordinating colors to all of our packages of paper right in the catalog as well as in the packaging? With Stampin’ Up! paper you never need to wonder or guess which colors will coordinate. I love that!
I used Calypso Coral for the base of my card and then added a layer of Daffodil Delight. The sentiment also sits on a scalloped oval of Calypso Coral. You can find all the measurements I used, farther down in the post.

I love a stamp set that has many different sentiments to choose from and on today’s card I used the Well Said stamp set which includes 51 stamps! This set is jam packed with just about any sentiment you might need. It also coordinates with the Well Written Dies. For a clearer picture of the stamps, click here to go to my online store. Once there, click the “+” and you’ll see the stamps enlarged.
It’s a bit hard to see what the dies look like in the photo above (since they are backwards) but here a few examples that show the dies and stamp set used together.
Back to today’s card! I used the 6″ x 6″ Brights Designer Series Paper in Bermuda Bay and cut the squares using the Layering Squares Dies. The other squares were cut out of Bermuda Bay cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I used the same Brights DSP for the banner and used the Banner Triple punch. Glitter Enamel Dots were added as a finishing touch.
This card will be my FREE Tuesday Tutorial so be sure to come back on Tuesday to grab it!

Does today’s card look a bit familiar? It’s actually the same card I posted last Thursday (see below) with a few minor changes.
I changed the direction of the card and used a different sentiment. For today’s card I used the Layering Ovals Dies and for the card last week, I used the Layering Squares Dies and our Stitched Shapes Dies.
You can find the directions for today’s card over on my post from last Thursday. The only change would be to stamp the sentiment in Old Olive ink and cut it out with the Layering Ovals Dies and to cut another, larger oval using Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
