Good morning, smell the coffee yet? Alicia with you today serving up some coffee, lattes and frappacinos! I created a couple of cards in a box for your sipping pleasure.
Cards in a box are really super easy, I was intimidated at first but after you do one the rest are a breeze. I always suggest creating a sample using white card stock because making a mistake on the initial try on any special fold card is likely. You can find several templates and tutorials with the measurements on Pinterest.
I die cut several of the coffee images out of vanilla card stock. I cut the pieces and parts out of various papers from Quick Quotes. I used acetate to attach my coffee cuts to the inside of the box. I have also seen vellum used, both provide a relatively transparent way to attach the cuts and images that will "pop" out of the box.
I stamped the images with Mocha Mama PowderPuff Chalking Ink and a stamping tool. I was able to stamp in the exact position twice to insure a clean image. I used the same chalking ink to ink all the edges of the box and various parts. I finished off the card with a ribbon tied in a bow around the base.
Here's my second card using the same images but in different positions. I also used a few different papers. I love them both and have already sent them to deserving recipients.
