Welcome to the July 2017 Pals Blog Hop! Thank you so much for joining us today. This month we’re having a Pattern Party! Hoppers will feature projects using their favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and coordinating embellishments. After all, color coordination is a Stampin’ Up! strength.
Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
My project for today is a set of 6 mini 3″x3″ cards packaged up all pretty in a wood crate!

My absolute favorite Designer Series Paper right now is Naturally Eclectic! The color combo is beautiful in this paper. This sweet set of thank you notes fit perfectly in the wood crate created with the Wood Crate Framelits die. I tied a Berry Burst bow around the wood crate to coordinate with the set of cards. Here’s a closer look at the cards in the set:

They all have the same layout and sentiment – the only difference is the Designer Series Paper pattern! Which one is your favorite? Mine is the lower right – that design is my absolute favorite in the Naturally Eclectic DSP.
Measurements:
- Emerald Envy card base – 3″ x 6″, scored and folded at 3″ (or folded in half)
- Night of Navy layer – 2-5/8″ x 2-5/8″
- Naturally Eclectic DSP – 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″
- Whisper White banner – I started with a 3/4″ x 3-1/2″ piece before punching with the Triple Banner Punch

Join me on Facebook Live tonight at 8:00pm EST as I demonstrate another super fun project for you! Don’t forget to “like” my Facebook page if you haven’t already so that you’ll be notified when I go live. Hope to “see” you tonight!

I just knew you would have a “box” that I was looking for and this crate is exactly it. BUT is there somewhere that you did a tutorial or video for making the box? I need to make 60 of this exact item. Would appreciate if you could let me know. THANK YOU SO MUCH. BTW, love all your Wed. nite projects. I try to make at least one of each project since I found you!
Your little crate of cards is adorable, Julie!
Julie, I just got this DSP last night and I can’t wait to use it. I use 3 x 3 cards to leave on colleagues desks at work. I will be CASing these cards with different sentiments tonight!
.I am with you on this DSP ! Love love !! I do not have the precious little crate dies yet ! I love your dark blue one and those little cards ! So cute and colorful ! Your favorite pattern is mine also !
Glad to see a way to make ITTY BITTY CARDS to make it go further (giggle)
Oh, my goodness. You’ve done it again, Julie. I love the total package – such a great gift!
These are so pretty! You really showcased the DSP! I love little 3 x 3 note cards to give with a gift!
Wonderful idea! The 3 x 3 cards are super cute. The colors are brilliant and beautiful Thanks for sharing.
That’s the cutest set of note cards! The DSP is gorgeous and the use of the crate is sweet! Super cute project; TFS!
Love your 3×3 cards and boxes! What an awesome gift they would be!
Great project!! I love the idea of using this as a gift and the crate makes a wonderful presentation. My favorite is also bottom right, quickly followed by bottom left…but they all are gorgeous.
Such a cute card. I love the crate matching and not done in wood. Great idea!
