Art Impressions Blog: Creating a Box Card - Magical Songbirds by Lynn Dionne

Happy Wednesday Ai Fans!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be using the brand-new Ai Song Birds and Feeders Set (5980). This set is just perfect for today's box card with its lovely birds and bird feeders. We will combine this set with the absolutely adorable Ai Gnomes Set (5785) and some little mushrooms from both the Ai Fairytale Houses Set (5935) and the Ai Whimsical Mushroom Set (5788). It is so much fun mixing and matching all of your stamp sets to create a unique and special card!

We can now add some white highlights and polka dots (on the mushrooms) to make everything pop a bit more!

Let's stamp all of the images and color them using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Sugared Almond Pink, Lt Beige, Beige, Mid Brown, Yellow, Orange, Ice Blue, Sea Green, Smoky Teal, May Green, Green, Lt Gray, Purple.

Next, let's create the cute little box card design. I will give you all of the measurements in today's video. It is very easy to cut, score and fold this box card design. I have sized it to fit into a standard A2 size envelope when folded flat, but you could also use a square envelope if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the postage may be a bit more for the square envelope.

We will now cut all of our patterned paper layers for the box card using the Ai Mini Birthday Paper Pack (5873). Let's add a few sentiments to the card using both the Ai Birthday Sentiments Set (5735) and the Ai Fairytale Houses Set (5935).

Finally, we can assemble this fun little scene onto the box card! This card will sit up nicely on your table when it's opened up. I hope you got inspired to give this design a try!

Thank you so much for joining me today! Have a fun and crafty day!!!
