I recently made these faceted gift boxes for Mother’s Day and wanted to make some coordinating cards and candy. Stampin’ Up English Garden DSP is beautiful watercolored paper. It is retiring May 31. You can purchase it here.

One set is for my Mom and one set is for Superman’s Mom.

The candy is Hershey’s Nuggets Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Almonds in the gold wrapper. I wrapped them in 1″ x 3″ strips of DSP. I was going to add a flower on the top, but this paper is so stunning I didn’t want to cover it up.

The cards are so easy. I love making the Faceted Gift Boxes. What are you planning to make for Mother’s Day?

I had a sweet birthday yesterday and will write a separate post to show you all the homemade cards I received. I even received cards from some of you, including a beautiful card from Audrey and a sweet email from my stamping BSF friend, Ruth, who I also met through this blog. Superman and I had a nice lunch out at Fire Creek. They have the best tomato basil soup! For dinner I made a healthier version of one of my favorite meals called Ziti Cucina. I really enjoyed all the birthday wishes at Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) and on Facebook. One of the sweet gals in my BSF group, Crystal, made Revelation verse cards for each week of the study and gave them to every gal in our group today. Best gift ever! Sweet daughter Abby made the most delicious carrot cake! She actually went over the top this year. She bought me beautiful Gerber daisies, pretty silver earrings, and a big bag of Blue Raspberry Jolly Ranchers. I love that girl! Sean called me and sent Facebook wishes. Ryan and Keegan bought me a pretty pot for my deck. Keegan also gave me more than the one required hug per day! I’ll take as many hugs as I can get from my awesome 15 year old. I love my family!

Directions for Kate Spade inspired gift card set

The cards in this gift box are not the standard A2 size. They are what Stampin’ Up! calls Note Card size. The cards are 5″ x 3 1/2″ and the envelopes are 5 1/8″ x 3 5/8″. You need to purchase these from Stampin’ Up! or cut your cards yourself and use the Envelope Punch Board to make the envelope. You can purchase the Note Cards by clicking here or Envelope Punch Board here. This size does work for mailing.

You can get both piece A and B cut from one 12 x 12 sheet of cardstock.

Cut the cardstock for piece A at 7 1/4 x 12. Score at 1/2′”and 1″ on all four sides. You fold at the 1/2″ score line with the end tab piece in between the two side layers and then fold at the 1″ score line. The sides of the box are a double layer of card stock. Please let me know if you have any questions about how to fold this box together. You need a strong adhesive. I’m using Stampin’ Up Tear & Tape. You can buy the Tear & Tape here.

You are basically making “mountains” on the front side of this piece to have a separation between the cards, envelopes and sentiment tags.

The yellow piece is in the picture just so you can see the Window Sheet on top of it. The box is 10 inches long so you do the scoring on the 12 inch side. If you don’t have 12 x 12 Window Sheets which are available in my Stampin’ Up store, click here, you can also use adhesive to combine two Transparency sheets and cut them down to a 10 x 11 1/2 size.

I wrapped the box with a piece of Night of Navy ribbon. I thought about adding a tag, but instead added a “thank you” tag on the top card. This is a hostess gift for my sweet friend,Janene , who hosted our family for Easter.I can’t wait to make some more gift card sets!

I’d love it if you would leave me a comment or question at the top of this post and subscribe to my blog.

You can pin the pictures to your Pinterest board, showing the directions in case you want to make a gift set in the future. I’ll also have the directions pinned on my board, “How to Make Simple Card and Gifts.” click here

The Des Moines area has beautiful crab apple trees in colors of pink, white and red that bloom every April. Water Works park has hundreds or thousands of these trees. Super Man and I are going on a bike ride this afternoon to see the trees and I’ll probably take some pictures. Abby heard what we were doing and packed us a picnic lunch. What a sweetie! Hopefully tomorrow’s blog post won’t have a story about a biking mishap!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Faceted Mother’s Day Gift Box

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for April 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are all about our families. This is a great time of year to think about what to make for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or upcoming graduations. And, family vacations are just around the corner… how would you want to remember those special family moments? We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

I love making boxes! I got the idea for this box from Pootles, a UK demo. Do you see the triangles on the side? In real life, this box is adorable! I made these Faceted Mother’s Day boxes for my Mom and Steve’s Mom. They are about two inches tall and three inches wide, so there’s plenty of room for chocolate or a gift certificate. Have you thought about what you are making for the special “Moms” in your life?

When I showed the boxes to my design assistant, Abby, she said, “Oh did you make those boxes for yourself, because you’re the best mother ever!.” I love my seventeen year old daughter and I think she’s the best daughter ever!

If you have a question or comment, please leave it at the top of this post.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
