Here I have created Cards & Gift Box/Filo using the Stampin’ Up!® Layers of Beauty Bundle over 2 videos, I hope you enjoy!
Layers of Beauty bundle by Stampin’ Up!® is at the moment my all time favorite product.
Why?
It’s a traditional floral image, easy to colour with the use of the masks that come with the bundle and can also be die cut with the coordinating dies. You can change up the look to be either modern, shabby chic or just traditional or old world. It’s all up to you and how you use colour.
Layers of Beauty Cards Part 1
I created these cards the same as you might do a ‘One Page Wonder’- where you create your own Designer Series Paper and cut it up to create card fronts.
Starting with a sheet of Basic Beige A4 cardstock I ruled in faint lines through the center of both the length and width of the cardstock. This was to give an idea of where I needed to stamp the images, so that I would be left with part images either side. I didn’t stamp exactly the same both sides as I wanted some of my cards to have a different look or orientation.
The YouTube video is below showing how I created the cards.
Cutting Measurements per card (except for Card Front use full sheet of card stock)
| Colour | Imperial/Letter | Metric/A4 | |
| Card Base | Night of Navy | 4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½” | 10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm |
| Card Mat | Misty Moonlight | 4 x 5¼” | 10 x 14.4cm |
| Card Front | Basic Beige | Letter size, then cut later to 3⅞ x 5⅛ | A4 size, then cut later to 9.7 x 14.1cm |
| Card Insert | Basic Beige | 4 x 5 ¼” | 10 x 14.4cm |
Layers of Beauty Gift Box/Filo Part 2
The design for this Box/ Filo was cased from Mikeala Titheridge Varied Vases Note Card Holder. I have changed the measurements to suite the size of A6 & C6 Cards & Envelopes.
YouTube video below shows how I completed my cards and created the box.
Working out the Box/Filo Measurements
To create your box you need some basic measurements to create your formula. I am using metric measurements for Australian C6 envelopes. Your measurements may differ depending on how many cards you want in your box and the envelope size.
Because of the size I needed to created the box I have used 12 x12″ scrapbook Cardstock
- Finished Box Size – Worked on Envelope C6 (11.3 x 16cm) plus extra for width and length = 12 x 17cm
- Spine– Depth of Cards and envelopes =2cm
- Unlike a box with a lid this is more of a Filo with a side opening. The right side has a full spin with between front and back. The left side has 2 spines attached to either side of opening at half width of full spine.
- Flap Depth inside box = 6cm
Formula
- Width= front width + Spine + Back Width (12 + 2 +12 = 26cm)
- Length= length + half spine + Flap (17 +1+6 = 24cm)
- Side Tabs (cut x2) or left Spines
- tab width + half spine + tab width (1 +1+1= 3cm)
- length Flap depth (6cm)
Cutting Measurements
| Colour | Imperial/Letter | Metric/A4 | |
| Box Base | Night of Navy, 12 x 12″ Cardstock | 26 x 24cm | |
| Side Tabs | Night of Navy | 3 x 6cm (cut 2) | |
| Front | Basic Beige | 10.5 x 14.9cm | |
| Mat Front & Back | Misty Moonlight | 10.8 x 15.2cm |
