A2 Surprise Box Card (No Dies Needed) | MFT Stamps BB Sunshine & Friendship Stamp Set

Hello! Welcome to the Cards by Kendra Blog!

Today, I'm sharing a surprise box card that was really easy to make!! No dies are required!



I used the BB Sunshine & Friendship stamp set from MFT Stamps and the Caribbean Tide Cotton paper from Tonic Studios. Watch the video below for complete instructions:

Start with a sheet of 8.5" x 11" cardstock. On the 11" side, trim down to 9". Turn and trim to 5-1/2". Using a score board, score at 2-1/8", 4-1/4", 6-3/8", and 8-1/2". Turn and score at 2-3/4". Using a paper trimmer, cut along each score line from the center score line to the top. Cut off the top right 1/2" rectangle. Add double sided adhesive to the bottom 1/2" rectangle and attach to the other side to form the box. Fold down 3 of the flaps and then add patterned paper. You'll need three pieces cut to 2" x 2-5/8" and then one longer piece cut to 2" x 4-7/8" (or 5-1/4" if you prefer it to go all the way to the bottom). For the inside pieces, use the 3" scrap piece that was cut off initially and cut it to 3" x 3-1/8". On the 3-1/8" side, score at 1/2" - Flip and repeat. Then cut in half (at 1-1/2"). Cut 5 strips of acetate (1/4" x 3") - trim as needed. Use glue dots to attach the stamped images to the acetate strips.

DIY Lip Balm Gift Tag Pouches for Inexpensive Birthday and Thank You Gifts

Valentine's Day Lip Balm Pouches I started out making these lip balm gift tag pouches with 110# heavy-weight white card stock, placing the Sweet Treat tag next to another 3" wide tag that I had in my stash.  I knew I'd be making multiples of these cute little gifts so I was trying to save time.  I placed the lip balm window die 3/4" away from the edge of the Sweet Treat Die while also placing the rip strip in the center of the other stitched tag die to
