Good morning everyone, today I have a very easy project and a very handy one for the fast approaching festive season.

 

These fun images from Authentique Paper were perfect for this project.

Although I make lots of cards at Christmas its always handy to have those back up cards for any surprises!

Sometimes you need a ton of die cutting, stamping and embellishments to make nice cards.

This compact gift box holds all 10 Cards & Envelopes perfectly.

To make this quick project you will need…

10 pieces of 7 x 4.1/2 Kraft Card

Score along the 7′ side at 3.1/2 to form your card base.

To mat the cards I cut 10 pieces of red card 3.1/4 x 4.1/4

The pictures I used are 3 x 4

To make the envelopes you will need 10 pieces of 6.3/4 x 6.3/4

To make the gift box you need a piece of Kraft Card 8 x 8

To decorate the gift box you will need a piece of patterned paper 4.3/8 x 3.1/2 to mat on top.

Envelope Punch Board mine is by We R Memory Keepers

Check out my full tutorial below to see how you score all the lines with the punch board.

Hope you enjoyed this easy project from me today, it just shows you don’t always have to go over board to make lovely cards.

Lets make planning Christmas as stress free as possible!

Enjoy your weekend.

Sam
