A get well card in a box

No, I didn’t spell heard wrong!  Herd of cows .   Get it??

 

This card is a typical card in a box and the pictures should be self explanatory.  You can put your flowers and lady bugs where you want. The only thing you should be aware of is that I photographed the inserts wrong.  The 2 outer inserts should go back to back on the outside of the inside of the card.  Whew!  That was tough to explain!  Maybe the picture will help.  The outside insert on the right side of the photo is facing the wrong way.

Put the skin of the cow on each outer insert, 

 add the grass on each insert, add the flowers and lady bugs, and finally the back of the cow, with his tail.  Add the sentiment and call or text me if you don’t have a clue what I’m talking (typing?) about.  Oh, and don’t forget the small pieces in the 2 sticky dot packs!

Thinking of you (all of you!)

 This is a simple card.  Attach the stamped white piece to the pink piece.  Then attach that combo to the card base.  Take the patterned piece and fold back the “wings” on the score lines to open up the face of the card and see the sentiment.  Attach it to the card face.

Assemble the 3 layers of the flower and attach it to the card front in the position shown.

Attach the inside sentiment.  And again, you are finished with this card.

Another sporting card

This was a fun card to make.  As you can see, the layers from the bottom up are white, black, and red.  Then there is a narrow strip of black and white polka dots, and on top of that is a green plaid.

 

The green plaid strip actually looks like this:

Place the white circle with the stamped image of the greens and flag on the card to conceal the area cut out.  Color the greens and flag.  Color the golfer and cut him out.  Put him on the greens.  Cut out the golfers cap and attach it to the golfer.

Mat the sentiment on the green cardstock and attach to the inside of the card.

And you are finished!

Tennis anyone?

Start by putting the black and white chevron piece about 1 inch from the bottom.  It should angle up on the right hand side.

Next, place the green and white checked piece butted up against the chevron piece.

Glue the handle and the decorative piece at the top of the racquet.  Then turn the racquet over and attach the strings on the back.  Repeat with second racquet.

Crisscross the two racquets on the front of the card, assemble the tennis ball and attach the sentiment.

On the inside of the card, attach the sentiment (sorry about the pun!), trim off the third racquet so that the head of the racquet circles  the sentiment.  And you’re finished!

A pile of presents

 This stack of presents folds flat for mailing but when it’s opened, it’s a fun display piece.

I’m going to list all the pieces individually.  The important thing to remember  is that you should lay out your pieces in the same manner as shown below.

Next, fold “A” in the middle with a Valley fold and “B” with a mountain fold as shown below.

Now, just to understand how the card is assembled, place A behind B and gently slide the left side into the slit, followed by the right side into the slit.  This is very hard to explain but if you’ve ever done a cascading card, you’ll understand.

Now take these 2 pieces apart so you can decorate them as shown below.  Pieces only fit in their matching area.  The same goes for the bows.

Now reassemble your card and from the bottom, it will look like this.

Attach the silver string to the tag and tie it through the bow on the tallest package.  And then you’re finished.

Hope you like puzzles!

 This is much simpler than it looks.  Take your time and it will turn out great!

Take the white piece of cardstock and lay the 9 black pieces as shown below:

Mine are not glued down yet so they are slightly crooked.

Then assemble the Merry Christmas and put it across the second row of pieces.  Attach the star as the dot over the “I” and glue on the snowflake.wrap the baker’s twine around the left edge of the card front and attach the card front to your card base.

Assemble the inside sentiment on the mat and place  it on the inside of the card.  And you’re finished!

For the birds

 This is a very simple card.  There are 3 layers to the ornament and 2 layers to the bird.  There is a third bird on the inside sentiment.

Victorian Christmas

 

Another simple card.  This was actually my Christmas card last year but I forgot to mail them.  Old age I guess.

These are the layers to this card.  Tap on the picture to see all the layers and the order in which they are assembled.  For some reason, Blogspot loves to cut off my pictures.

Each of the layers is popped up, except the bottom layer.  The sentiment is also popped up.

And finally, this is the inside of the card:

Merry Christmas from the stars of Disney

 

  Don’t panic!  You don’t have to color this.  I think it is a fun card to send to a grandchild or great grandchild.The image of the Disney characters is popped up on the white mat.  And the yellow stars are offset from the  red stars.  Add the inside sentiment and Mickey’s ears and you are finished!

 This one was hard to photograph because of the gold card stock.  And you’ve probably figured out that this is another simple one.  It appears I spent too much time last week watching election returns so I picked the simplest cards to spend time putting the kits together.

It’s pretty obvious how the card goes together except you’re probably wondering what this is:

  This is what the sheet looks like when you peel off the top layer.  

Peel off the tree and 3 snowflakes but be careful.  They have sticky adhesive on the back of each of them.   Gently place them on the card.

And though this was very hard to photograph, the inside says Merry Christmas.

And how about a card in a box?

 This card has a ton of pictures and pieces so it more difficult than the others.  But don’t worry, you’ll get it done.

There are 2 inserts to this card.  The front insert consists of these pieces:

That’s the front layer and the second layer consists of these pieces for the house.:

There is a gold “door knob” in your kit.

These are the pieces that make up the box:

And once again, the finished card showing the front sentiment and the side panels and flaps.

Have fun making this!
