Watercolor mini note cards & gift box set ~ tutorial

September 2, 2020 - by Gaylynn

Watercolor mini note cards & gift box set ~ tutorial

Hello, Gaylynn here.  For technique time today, I share how to make watercolor mini note cards and a matching gift box.  Also, sets like this are great to give as a gift for teachers, friends, family or anyone.
 

Sentiments:  Hello.  Thanks.

Helpful tips:

Here are helpful tips for creating watercolor mini note cards and the gift box.  First, trim or die-cut a box, mini notes and watercolor paper layers for each.  Also, I used a die-cut from a slim or tall die and folded that in half for each mini note card.  And, a paper trimmer works just fine.  Also, assemble the box or use an existing mini gift bag.  Next, stamp onto each of the watercolor panels and then heat emboss the stamping with white embossing powder.  Then, apply three thick watercolor lines in different colors onto each of the stamped panels.  Next, allow to dry completely or heat set the watercolor.  Then, adhere the watercolor panels onto the folded 3×3″ mini note card fronts and onto the gift box front and back sides.  Optional, make handmade envelopes for each mini note or use existing 3×3″ envelopes.  Finally, place the envelopes and the mini note cards inside of the gift box with or without tissue paper.
 
Gift box:  Die-cut or cut 2 box panels 5″ x 4 1/2″, score, fold & tape to assemble the box.

Mini note cards:  Die-cut or trim 6 1/2″ x 3″ and score at 3 1/4″.

 

And here are the mini note cards and envelopes inside the gift box.

Here is my video tutorial for this project.  It will detail the full process.

Supplies:  Unity Stamp Co. Heart of Autumn.
Also, mini Misti, foam double-sided tape, white embossing powder, VersaMark ink, Ranger plastic craft mat, Canson watercolor paper; Altenew watercolor half pans, heat tool, paint brush, My Creative Time Present Box Die, Stitched Square Dies Inside & Out, Tall Frame Die Layers and 3×3 Fancy Envelope Die, score tape.
