Simple birthday cards that turned out to be not so simple....

The other day I needed some quick birthday cards, and I decided to do some that I have tried out making before. I ended up with three cards, two that I will share here now, and one that I will share a little later.

Trifold Shutter Card

The Trifold Shutter Card (thepaperpixie.com) is a really easy-to-make card that has somewhat of a wow! effect, and it was made rather quickly. The other card, on the other hand, a Twist and Pop Card (mixedupcrafts.com)gave me a heck of a hard time! Due to the fact that it's measurements calls for card stock measuring 12", and I hardly have any, I had to resize the card. The actual card it self is easy enough to resize, the twist and pop mechanism inside, however, turned out to be a totally different cup of tea. I managed something in the end, though, and hopefully the recipient won't be able to see the many "swear" moments I had a long the way! I will definitely have to see if I can get a hold of some larger card stock!!

Faceted Gift Boxes

https://youtu.be/E_LcfEnouks

I have yet again a new favorite box to make!! This Faceted Gift Box was made by the paperpixie.com, once again, you might say😉. If you are interested you should really go visit her blog, where there is an excellent and very clear and easy to follow tutorial on how to make this beautiful little gift box. It is custom made by Julie DiMatteo to hold a Bath and Body Works Body Cream (2.5oz), but it will hold any type of cream, or even something else if you should prefer that.

As seen above, I have made a feeble attempt at making a tutorial as well. Right now I am in the midst of figuring out just how to do that, learning along the way.

To prove that I fell in love with making this fabulous gift box, I have posted seven of them, and all I need to do now, is to get something to put in them, before giving them away!
