Snowman Box Card to Welcome Christmas in July

Hello crafty friends this week we are celebrating Christmas in July. I know if I want to send handmade cards I have to get started on them now. Today I am sharing a new Snowman Box Card from My Scrap Chick. I just love this card and the wintry scene inside.

Isn't he adorable. This card would not only be good for Christmas but would work for a winter birthday and is suitable for boys and girls.

Thank you for stopping by today, hope to see you tomorrow.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G.

 

Photo Tutorial for the Comfy Chair Easel Card.

Use the product photo as a guide when selecting your choice of papers for individual parts of the chair. To see some inspiration for colors and prints here are some photos of this chair done by our Design Team.

1. Cut out all your pieces.

  

2. Add the cushion, skirt, back and arm layers to the front of card backing.

 

3. Add the top skirt to the front.

 

4. Add all the trim/piping pieces.

5. Add the Chair doily.



6. Assemble the bear. Use a fine point pen to add eyes.



7. Attach the bear and throw pillow to the chair.



8. Assemble inside tag layers. If you decide to use one of the printable tags included with this set, you will find those in the PDF. Otherwise you can use your own rubber stamped greeting or handwritten note. Use a pop-dot to add some height to the tag layers because this is what holds the card upright when opened.

9. Score along lines of card base. Apply glue ONLY to the front bottom half as shown.

10. Attach the finished Chair to the front of the card carefully lining up along the side and bottom edges of card backing.

11. Look of card when completed and fully closed for mailing. Card will lay flat.

 

 

 

12. When card is opened, the bottom of the chair skirt will rest behind the tag layers and held open for display.

Card Starters with Layered Frames

Card starters will really help get the creative juices flowing. Pull out all those beautiful paper flowers, embellishments, ribbons and rhinestones and use them on these backdrops.




Card Starters

 These were made to work for any theme or occasion from a frilly tea party invite to a fisherman's card with just a change of papers and embellishments.

 

 

Each of the cards has a message panel on the front that can be used for digi images and rubber stamping.

 

 These 2 tall cards are side folding and a big 5" x 7" to fit A7 envelopes.

 

 

 It's so easy to add dimension to these cards with the use of pop dots between some layers. Or keep them flat and easy to ship in the mail.

 

 

Card Starters 

 

 

Easel cards are our most popular seller. They fold flat to tuck into an envelope, but display easily when open. And they are so easy to put together.

 

 

 

 These can work for any theme from a frilly tea party invite to a fisherman's card with just a change of papers and embellishments.

Honeycomb Card Bundle of 6, Bumble Bees and Bee Greetings

If you love big bumble bees and honeycomb designs you'll love the new Honeycomb Card Bundle.

 

 

When I designed the first honeycomb pattern for these cards I kept playing around with different layouts. I couldn't make up my mind and pick just one. So I kept them all (or at least these 6) and tucked them all into one big bundle.

 

And where there's a little honeycomb you're bound to find some big ol' Bumble Bees. So I took the bees from the Sunflower Set and gave them the spotlight in their very own Bumble Bee file.

 

 

These 2 Bumble Bees can be easily resized to fit whatever project you're working on.

 

 

They look great on the front of the Honeycomb Cards.

 

 

 

 

The honeycomb cards include some spaces to use your rubber stamps and handwritten words -OR- you can grab this Freebie below and they'll fit perfectly with the cards message tags. This is a pdf so just print right from your home printer onto white cardstock, cut and adhere to the card fronts.
