I am so excited to share this project with you today. It was a labour of love to design and make but it is so worth it!
There are measurements in both inches and cm’s……. I know I usually only work in inches, but my Stampin’ Up! trimmer is in cm’s so I had to work in cm’s…… that is why it was a labour of love !
The video is longer than normal because of the double measurements and because I wanted to share with you how to pattern match the designer series paper across the 2 cut pieces, so grab a cuppa and enjoy.
So here is the video, scroll down for pictures of the inside and the measurements.

Love this card! Watched the video & may try it with another stamp (don’t have the fairy one). I have an odd question – what font did you use for your name at the end of your blog post? I have been looking for a nice one & love this one! 🙂
Hi Janice
Thank you for your lovely comment, I hope you enjoy making the card. I’m sorry but I don’t know the name of the font used, my designer put it together for me, and she is no longer designing blogs.
Thank you for the video for this gorgeous box frame card. I absolutely love the one you made me and my coffee morning ladies are desperate to be all together again after my SU party so that we can make more – I have some ideas for using them for special Christmas cards. They all seem to be off on their hols or moving at the moment but we will all get together soon rather than having just two or three joining me each Tuesday morning xx
Hi Roz
So pleased you liked the card, it was a pleasure doing the party for you!
I have to try this. What a wonderful card. Thank you for an excellent tutorial.
Thank you very much Linda!
So enjoy this video. Have watched it several times! LOVE the crystal clear instructions….
I am so pleased Vicky, thank you for leaving such a lovely comment!
