For more tips on creating with the border dies & foldout cards, watch the tutorial at https://youtu.be/wxX94X84kUo.

Instructions:
Card size: 6 1/8 X 6 1/4".  Start with an Ivory card folded to 5 1/2 X 6” (side fold).  Cut the front panel with the plain edge of the Fleur Border Basics then cut a border for that edge with the decorative Fleur Border Basics.  Cut decorative paper for the inside panels (matching edge of front and 5 1/2 X 6 for the inside back).   Cut 3 Decorative Pocket Accents out of ivory for the inside panel.

Stamp the French Cottage door full stamp on the front panel.  Stamp it again on white, die cut then color.  Pop up the door frame on top of the stamped image on card.  Glue the door in.  Glue Fleur Border to the top.  Glue decorative paper inside then glue Decorative Pocket Accents, one on top (without slot, cut it off), glue 2 together matching slot cuts.  Cut another piece of decorative paper 2” X 5 1/2", glue it to the back of bottom Decorative Pocket then glue the die sets plus decorative paper to the inside as a pocket. 

Stamp small flowers using Majestic Violet, sponge, die cut and push in the center to shape making little bells.  Insert 1 small white pearl stamen folded into each.  Stamp using black: 2 planters, porch light and leafy stem, die cut then color.  Pop the planters to each side, glue the porch light onto top left.  On the leafy stem, make small cuts in it all along the right (bottom) side so that it will curve easier.  Glue it over the arched doorway.  Glue flowers to leafy stem and to the 2 planter “trees”.  Glitter all the flowers, gloss the leaves.

Find the tag you like on the decorative paper and die cut it.  Die cut a mat from ivory.  Sponge the edges and stamp sentiment using Majestic Violet, at an angle.  Tie a ribbon on the top of tag and insert tag into inside pocket.

Double High Luminary/Gift Box

Double High Box/Luminary Tutorial

Directions: 

Step 1: Cut out 12 of the Treasured Heart Gift Box pieces. (This is a six sided box). This sample uses a light pink, but any color would be fine.  

Step 2: Cut the half oval top off of 6 box pieces. Making sure to have gluing tabs all on the left side, glue 2 box pieces together vertically (line up score line carefully for a straight box). Now there should be 6 double high box pieces.

Step 3: Use the inner die from the Ornamental Tags die set to create a tall narrow “hole” on each side. (Do this before gluing sides together).  

Step 4: Cut 6 pieces of vellum measuring 2 1/8” x 4 1/4" each, then glue to the inside of each box panel.

Step 5: Glue box sides together matching score lines at the bottom and cut lines at the top until all sides are glued but wait on gluing last sides together forming the box.

Step 6: Cut out accessory pieces; 6 curl hearts, strips of straight eyelet (made with the long eyelet die in the Tickets and Tags Die Set), 12 inner box tops with the heart cut out (6 in one direction and 6 in the opposite direction as far as the heart placement) and 6 white plain hearts (these will go inside and outside the box for the closed box and for the open box as a lantern).

Set pieces aside in one place until needed.

Step 7: Use the eyelet pieces between box panels at the center seam. Glue the inside box tops on with hearts upside down and then glue the curly hearts into the heart openings.  Glue the box top outsides with heart cut out being right side up. 

Then glue the solid white hearts into the heart openings. When box is closed with top half ovals tucked, hearts should look right side up. When box is left open for the fairy lantern, hearts will appear right side up as well, if glued on correctly.  

Step 8: Stamp using Magenta Hue, sponge both sides, die cut and form Wild Roses in Small Wild Rose 3D Shaping Mold. Make 18 of the smallest Wild Roses, 3 for each of 6 sides. Roses should be pressed in the centers of the back side so that petals come up with stamped side showing. Glue some tight and some a bit looser with a beaded wired stamen in the center of each.

Stamp using Leaf Green, sponge both sides using New Sprout, die cut and form Leafy Accents leaves in 3D Leafy Accents Shaping Mold. Give leaves a bit more color by adding some flower color to the edges of some.

Step 9: Stamp, sponge (using green) and die cut Lilac Blossoms for the Sepals at the bottom of each rose bud. Glue some tight and some loose.

Step 10:  Cut 6 Swirly Border Accents, 1 for each side, out of light green decorative paper (Wild Rose Collection). Then glue 1 to each side having every 2 sides facing each other.

Step 11: To make it a little easier for arranging buds, twist wires together spacing buds and curve wires to match Swirly Border Accents. Use heavy duty glue (like Tacky Glue) to glue wired flowers on to each side then cut leaves apart and add them to the buds as desired.

Step 12:  Glue final sides together to form box and use clamps or just hold with your fingers until firmly set and dry. Then, cut 2 bottom pieces from light pink and glue one of the bottoms inside the box, wait till totally dry then glue the other bottom on the outside. (This last step is not necessary but will give the box/lantern a finished look.)

Step 13: Die cut white straight edge eyelet again, measure 1/4" from edges and cut to make small top and bottom borders for box. 

Step 14: Stamp, sponge, die cut and form more roses for the top of box. Use a set of leaves as a base (place on waxed paper or scrap decorative paper to be cut away later). Glue flowers and more leaves on top and leave to dry (this would also be a good time to add a small tag as a gift card).

When flowers are completely dry and hard, glitter them and gloss the leaves (do the same to the flowers and leaves on the box itself), peel the waxed paper away (or cut scrap paper close) and use a glue dot or other temporary adhesion to add flowers to the top of closed box.

Instructions:

Card size: 6 X 6”.  Cut white cardstock 12 X 6” and fold in half.  Cut a 6 X 6 panel from the decorative paper then trim it to 5 3/4 X 5 3/4", glue to card base.  Cut the large circle from another 6 X 6 panel of the decorative paper with the flowers on the circle, stamp with the sentiment using Magenta Hue.  Cut the same size circle from foam sheet then glue it to the sentiment circle.  Cut a white Rounded Window die (2^nd largest) and cut 2 white hinges, cut each in half.

Glue the white Rounded Window circle to the card in the center, glue the sentiment circle with foam to the center of the white decorative then glue each half of the hinges to each corner of the card.

Stamp the blossoms using Rose Madder and Buttercup, sponge buttercup on the yellow and sponge Pink Peony on the Rose Madder.  Stamp leaves from Leafy Accents and from Wild Rose large using Fern Green then sponge with Leaf Green and coordinating blossom colors.  Die cut all then shape in their Shaping Molds.  Gloss the leaves.  Layer 3 blossoms per flower, pierce centers then insert small and medium stamen except for the 2 largest flowers, just insert small stamen.  Glue pearl halves to the centers of 2 largest flowers. (I colored white pearls using alcohol pens).

Glitter all the flowers and add glitter to the card as well.  Glue flowers onto left side and add leaves as desired.

Instructions:

Card size: 5 1/2 X 6”.  Cut white cardstock 9” X 5 3/4” then fold into thirds by scoring at 3” and 6”.  Use the largest tag in the Albums and Tags set to cut through 3 layers of cardstock, top only.  The card will end up 5 1/2" by 9” but will close to 5 1/2" X 6”.  Score the 2 end panels at 1 1/2" from edges (in half) again and fold.   Cut decorative paper for center and 2 sides, cutting them with the next size down tag making them just a bit smaller than the card base, trim at the bottom as necessary to leave a border.  Score the 2 end pieces to fit the card then glue paper to all panels (it helps to score it first so that it lays flat when glued).  Cut 2 white Swirly Border bases, glue them together (6”) to form a “bridge” for the card (make sure when you glue them to the 2 ends that the card can still fold down one direction or the other).  Cut 2 green Swirly Border decorative insides and glue them onto the bridge (cut where necessary so that they don’t overlap much).   

Stamp Window and birds on the branch using black, die cut then color with Copics (or whatever you like to color with).   Cut a piece of yellow for the open window but add some lace to it before gluing it to the back of the window (for curtains).   Glue it to the card while open, above the Swirly Borders then pop the birds and branch just below window on top of Swirly Borders.

Stamp blossom from the small set using Buttercup, Magenta Hue and Pink Peony.  Sponge blossoms with their stamp color, die cut then form in the Shaping Mold.  Stamp leaves using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and for in their Shaping Mold.  For the top flowers, layer 2 blossoms together, pierce centers and insert small stamen then medium stamen.  For the flowers on the branch below window, 1 layer flowers were used with only small stamen.

Glue all the 1 layer flowers to the branch on top of stamped flowers.  The other flowers (5 all together) are glued to the top of each end panel, 2 on one side and 3 on the other along with leaves (however many appeals to you).

For the sentiment inside center, Die cut the label from decorative paper and also cut a sentiment from decorative paper (Birthday Blessings used here). Add brads to the holes at each end and secure in the back.  Add dimensionals to the back of label, curl Birthday Blessings and glue onto label then remove dimensionals backing and adhere to the top center of card.  Glitter card and flowers with Rajni’s Crystal Clear.

In this time of world wide concern I have just the right scripture for you.

2 Timothy 1:7 [Full Chapter]

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Also,

Joshua 1: 5b-6a and9b

 I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6 Be strong and of good courage...

 9b...Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
