The greeting is from the Oh, What Fun stamp set |
The boxes are really easy to make with the Envelope Punch Board and the rest is mostly just die cutting and gluing!
I cut the layers of Santa's Sleigh Thinlits from Silver Foil, Gold Glimmer and Cherry Cobbler cardstocks |
I decided on the measurements for my box by measuring the things I plan to put in them. I took some hints from France Martin and was able to work out my dimensions without much difficulty. To make a box 1 3/8" deep x 3 1/4" long x 2 5/8" wide, I did the following:
- Cut a 7" square of cardstock
- Lined the edge of the cardstock up in the envelope punch board at 2 1/4"
- Punched and scored in accordance with punch board instructions
- Moved the cardstock along to line up at 4 1/4"
- Punched and scored in accordance with punch board instructions
- Rotated the cardstock to the next edge. Lined up the first score line with the Score guide.
- Punched and scored
- Moved along to line up the next score line with Score Guide
- Punched and scored
- Repeated until all four sides were punched and scored.
- At one end, I cut along the score lines each side of the tab just as far as the next score line to form reinforcement tabs.
- At the other end I cut off the little squares altogether.
To make the little banners, I used one of the dies from the Bunch of Banners die set and curled the end around a tooth pick before trimming off the sharp ends of the tooth pick. I didn't want the toothpick to show from the back, so I did add another layer of Cherry Cobbler to the back of the sleigh.
Thanks for visiting.
'Til next time!
