A while ago, a blog friend sent me an email telling me that Damask Love is a “meaty” blog. I kinda like the idea of that. Today’s post is “meaty.” Matter of fact, today’s post is meaty, potato-y with a side of broccoli-y. It’ll keep you full for a while…hopefully.

So, let’s rewind back to the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show this past January. I was walking the floors and came across an awesome collection of patterned paper pretties by Webster’s Pages. The collection is called Modern Romance and speaks right to my floral-loving heart.  The motifs are a little bit vintage, a little bit whimsical, a lotta bit beautiful.

So with  Modern Romance as inspiration, I came up with a great template and simple tags.

I’ve done my fair share of wandering through stationery shops, and I always take notice of the packaging for card sets. A while ago, I posted THIS card box template and it was really well received…so I’ve put together another template that I think you’ll like. It’s a booklet box with pockets on either side for holding your cards and envelopes.

{For an A2 set of cards}

COVER: Trim cardstock to 7 3/4″ (horizontal)  x 7″ (vertical)

{A} Score 1/2″ and 1″

{B} Score at 6″ and 6 1/2″

{C} Score at 3″ and 3 1/4″

SPINE: Trim cardstock to 1 1/2″ x 6 and score at 1/2″ and 1″

{For an 4bar set of cards}

COVER: Trim cardstock to 6″ (horizontal) x 6 1/4″ (vertical)

{A} Score 1/2″ and 1″

{B} Score at 5 1/4″ and 5 3/4″

{C} Score at 2″ and 2 1/4″

SPINE: Trim cardstock to 1 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 1/2″ and 1″

{ASSEMBLY}

{1} Once scoring is complete, cut on solid lines to trim away blue shaded areas.

{2} Assemble both covers then adhere together with the spine.

For the monogrammed cards in this set, I used the border embossing technique from THIS post and added another easy DIY element.

To round out this Modern Romance card set, I included these beautiful treat bags with a few stickers punched from the Little Gifts patterned paper.  How pretty are these!

For the next booklet box, I went with a simpler pattern and accented it with a monogrammed tag created from the frame accents in the Modern Romance collection.

Let me know what you think of these projects and how the template works out for you!
