Imaginisce Blog: A Box of Love

Have you had a chance to make one of these cards yet? I haven't and would really like to.
If you happen to own a Silhouette machine you can purchase these types of files from the online Silhouette Design store.

This is perfect for giving to a friend or even decorating your mantle or kitchen table!

Hi everyone! For today I've created a Valentine Box Card using my Silhouette Cameo. I've seen these box cards a lot, but never made one myself. So when Cari asked us to create a "love" project I knew straight away what I wanted to do!

I started with Imaginisce's "Little Princess" collection (because of all the pinks) and chose one of the cute box cut files from the Silhouette online store and got started. Here's what I cut:

For the base I used American Craft's smooth white cardstock (which cuts perfectly in the Silhouette!).

Here's the result:

And you know what is so fun about these cards? They easily fit into an envelop if you do this:

When I was finished putting everything together I noticed some white edges around some of the shapes and because I didn't want these, I used Imaginisce's D-Stress tool to polish these off:

Because of the fine tip you can easily reach into every corner:

And then - last but not least - I wanted to attach a little piece of ribbon to the top of the card and of course I used Imaginisce's I-Magicut Ribbon Cutter to give my ribbon smooth edges.

This tool is super easy to use!! 1: Lay a piece of ribbon between the blades of the tool, make sure the switch is in the "on" position and gently press the button for a few seconds:
