Note Card Box

 After being asked to show how to make different styles of boxes, I then created a box to hold our Note Cards and envelopes.

The box was decorated using the Dandy Garden DSP. I managed to get 3 items out of one piece of 6" x 6" DSP. I cut 1^1/2" off the bottom and then cut the remainder in half. One half I decorated the lid of the box the other half went on the front of a note card. The 1^1/2" strip was cut in half and adheared top and bottom to another note card. I then added the sentiment strip in the centre.

BOX BASE - Start with a 9^3/8”x 7^7/8” piece of card.
1. Box Base - Start with a 9^3/8”x 7^7/8” piece of card. 

 2. On the long side score at 1”, 2” , 7^3/8”, 8^3/8”, 

 3. Turn to short side and score 1”,2”, 5^7/8”, 6^7/8” 

4. Cut up each corner to the second score line, you will be cutting a L shape out of each corner, leaving a tab. 

5. Fold on all the score lines, to make a crisp edge and assemble by tucking the corner tabs in and folding the edges over the tab. Repeat this on each edge, the tabs tucked in on each side. 

 6. BOX TOP - Start with a 9^1/2”x 8” piece of card. On the long side, score at 1”, 2”, 7^1/2”, 8^1/2”, Turn to short side and score 1”,2”, 6”, 7” Follow the cutting and folding instructions for the box base assembly. Decorate as desired.

BEGINNER

To create this beginner card, stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a layer of Basic White Cardstock, then adhere the stamped cardstock to the Mint Macaron card base. Stamp the heart image in Flirty Flamingo ink using the stamp-off technique. Then, punch five banners from our Flower & Field Designer Series Paper using the Banners Pick a Punch. Adhere the banners to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and tie with a Linen Thread bow. Done! You have the perfect, easy card to let someone know you care.

CASUAL

Add a little extra detail to the second card by spritzing with Bumblebee Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill using the Stampin’ Spritzer. Embellish the banners with flowers die cut using the Wreath Builder Dies, and add 2020–2022 In Color Enamel Dots. Die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, then finish with a fussy-cut, stamped heart popped up with a Stampin’ Dimensional. So pretty don't you recon!

For our avid crafters we need a card with the LOT!! Adhere additional flowers fussy cut from Designer Series Paper, plus some Vellum Cardstock.

3 x 3 Embossed Box

I was asked how to make different types of boxes. Well usually I make all my boxes with the Envelope Punch board, however I wanted a challenge, so set about to make a box to hold our 3x3 envelopes and also another style to hold our Note Cards and envelopes.

This box is made using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and can be decorated with layers of card and DSP or possibly a belly band decoration, or embossed as in this one. 

Many different decorative ideas. Use Christmas DSP and make them into Christmas card boxes, the measurements for this box accommodates 4 cards and our 3"x3" envelopes. 

Start with a 9^”x5^3/4” piece of card.

On the long side score 3^1/4”, 4^1/4”, 7^1/2”, 8^1/2”

Turn clockwise to short side and score 1^”, 4^1/4”, 5^1/4 

With the 1^” score line on the bottom and the ^1/2” score line on the right. Cut up each score to the first score line. When you get to the ^1/2” score line, cut up to form a V  

Turn and working from the right on the long side. Cut up to the second score line, this forms the box closure. Cut along the rest of the ^1/2” score line up to the ^1/2” score line, cut this up to form a V. You will have formed a tab. Cut up each of the remaining score lines. 

Fold on all the score lines, to make a crisp edge and assemble box by adhering the tab to the other edge. With this size you may be able to emboss, before assembling, however any bigger and embossing would not be possible. You will need to decorate another way. 

*** All products including adhesives, can be purchased from my online shop.

These are the cards created to go into this cute little box.
