Snailed It Pocket Card

Good morning my lovely friends! How are you today? Have you been enjoying the Snail attack this week? I hope you have. I just love this adorable collection of products and those snails are just as cute as they can be!

I have one last Snailed It project to share with you this week, before we say goodbye forever......

I wouldn't say I saved the best for last. They've all been pretty fabulous! But I do love this card design! It's called a pocket card and it's really neat!

The base of the card is created using the Scalloped Contours Dies (the largest frame) cut from Bermuda Bay Cardstock.

I layered a 4 5/8" x 3 3/8" piece of DSP on the front of the scalloped card base.

I've taken two pieces of the Snail Mail DSP cut at 9 1/4" x 3 3/8", folded in half and then cut from the top point of the folded side, to the 1 1/8" mark on the open side to create a sort of triangular shape. Each piece was done the same, and then one turned inside out so that you can see both designs on the DSP. I stuck the two DSP pieces together with the folds both pointing OUT and the four flaps interlocked (left, right, left, right). I applied adhesive just along the short edges of the flaps to adhere the flaps together, but to create two pockets between them. I also glued the bottom closed to seal up the pockets.

The Pink Snail Mail Baker's Twine out of the combo pack was wrapped around the newly made pockets and tied into a bow. Then, the pockets were adhered to the base of the card.

I used the 4th Largest Layering Circles Dies to create the piece on the front of the card. Real Red scalloped circle and a Basic White straight circle make a great background piece for that sweet snail. I just glued the two layers directly to one another.

The snail was stamped and die cut from the bundle and then colored with Stampin' Blends Markers (Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Flirty Flamingo, and Real Red).

The "hello" piece was stamped and die cut using Real Red and Memento Black Inks.

Both were attached to the layered circles with Dimensionals and then attached to the card with dimensionals as well.

The Basic White sentiment panel was created using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die. One of the smaller snails that was printed off the edge of the DSP was used to embellish the panel. He looks so cute sliding his way onto the page doesn't he? The two hearts were stamped in Real Red ink.

The three tags (Bermuda Bay, Real Red, and Daffodil Delight) were die cut from the 2nd largest straight edge tag of the Tailor Made Tags Die set. These dies are SERIOUSLY CUTE!!! I highly recommend you have a set in your stash of go-to products! The dies even include the adorable reinforcing circles pieces. SO CUTE!

I stamped "hello" and two hearts in Memento Black Ink on the Bermuda Bay Tag. I stamped the "You've Got Mail" snail in black on the Real Red tag, and then layered a coordinating die cut DSP snail over top of the stamped one. The Daffodil Delight tag has the word "hello" stamped in staggering positions up the left side.

Finish off the card with a few of those fabulous little resin hearts and you're done!

All of the tags are so adorable! Truly. I just love how this card turned out. C-U-T-E!!

Snailed It Love You Always Easel Top Gift Box

Heya friends! I'm here with another fabulous Snailed It project today! It's an adorable gift/treat box with a wonderful Easel Top!

The box itself is made from the Love You Always Treat Boxes. They're awesome because there's no gluing involved and they are SUPER STURDY!!

I've wrapped the entire box in DSP and created a handle to open the box easier. Let's get started!

What you'll need:

Designer Series Paper (DSP)

- 4" x 2 5/8"

- (2) 4" x 1 3/8"

- (2) 2 9/16" x 1 3/8"

Cardstock

Bermuda Bay - 4" x 5 1/4" (scored on LONG side at: 1 1/4" & 2 5/8")

- 2 5/8" x 4"

Basic White - 3 7/8" x 2 1/2"

10" of Ribbon (I used the wider White ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season combo pack)

Burnish the score lines on the larger piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock. Adhere the largest section to the top of assembled box.

With the other two smaller sections folded flat against the other half, apply adhesive to only the bottom section.
Now, lay remaining piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock over top and secure with adhesive on bottom section. The pieces should lay down perfectly even and together.

Attach DSP to respective sides of box leaving the biggest piece of DSP for the top.
Die cut a stitched envelope, "hello" thought bubble, and a snail from DSP and attach to top of easel panel. Use included hearts dies to cut two out of a scrap of Real Red.

Attach Basic White panel to the "inside" of the easel card on top of box.

Fussy cut a large snail from the DSP and attach with liquid glue.

Die cut a large mushroom and attach it with liquid glue as well.

Use dimensionals or foam adhesive to raise up two small die cut mushrooms and attach to bottom (near edges) of White inside panel.

Use a circle hole punch to punch a hole in one end of the box and then tie a knot in the ribbon and feed it through the hole for a handle.

I hope you enjoyed this fun project! I love 3D projects and this one is just so cute!! Be sure to "FOLLOW" my blog so you get notifications when I post again! Thank you so much for stopping by!
