French Country Prints: Card Set and Box Tutorial

Hello and welcome to my first post as part of Ewe-N-Me Printables DT. It's nice to be here, sharing ideas that hopefully will help you maximize your printables. Digital products are vital now a days, because they simplify your paper crafts and allow you to customize your creations. And that is the case with today's project.

Using one of Ewe-N-Me's French Country Prints, Pink Rose, I was able to create a card set and a matching box to hold it. After you learn how to print the files, you'll find it's quite easy. So after I show you my project I'll guide you with the basic printing instructions, so you can replicate what I made.





This box is 5"x 6.5"x 2/8" and the one layered cards that it contains are 5 2/8"x 4". The basic materials I used were the images, white cardstock, a paper trimmer (with a score blade) and of course my printer. 

Now, to print the box the first thing you need to do is create a copy of the file right beside it in the same folder, and rotate it twice, clockwise:


Then in order to print the structure of the box, you'll need to select "FrenchRose-2" and "FrenchRose-2b", right click and print. Once the printer's window pops, it's time to customize size and other aspects: Select size 5 x 7", and unmark the "fit picture to frame" button (under the image). I printed my images in letter sized white cardstock.


Now it's time to score, cut and glue the box together. On the image below I marked in red the lines you should score and in green the ones you should cut.


Once you're done, you are left with two flaps on the side, already scored, that you have to fold towards the inside and glue to the front side of the print (which has no flaps as shown above).

To finish the box you need to add a top flap. I used a 3"x 6 1/2" piece of cardstock and attached it to the back of the box from the inside. I embellished the flap with lace, die cut borders and ribbon to give the box a shabby chic feel.


To print the cards, you will need to print the image rotated twice clockwise (upside down). Select size  4" x 6" and again unmark the "fit picture to frame" button. Once printed all you need to do is cut (shown below in green) and score and fold (shown below in red).


I hope you like my project and that you find this tutorial useful. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Video Tutorial: Quick New Year's Card with Simple Stories & Deco Foil

I'm back with a fun and really easy to make card for the Holidays or the New Year and I have a video tutorial with Therm O Web today. I'm sure we all are rushing at the very last minute looking for tags and cards and wrapping gifts... I know I always am. That is why my latest Holiday projects have been on the quick and easy side so you can try them out if you need to! The usual theme for New Year's cards is usually monochromatic, metallic... But, what if we used colorful Holiday colors instead? Why not? Well, this time you'll see me use papers from Simple Stories Very Merry Collection. Video Tutorial This is short and sweet video tutorial where I show you how I put together this card. Really with card designing the hard part is figuring out what you want your card to look like in the end but once you have figured out what elements you'll be adding and where you will be placing them the card comes together pretty fast. So the behind the scenes may not ha
