I started with a piece of Old Olive Cardstock sized:
10 x 7 1/2"
I scored the 10" side at:
3 1/4, 4 1/4, 7 1/2 and 8 1/2"
I scored the 7 1/2" side at:
3/4, 1 3/4, 5 3/4 and 6 3/4"
To cut and put the box together you can watch My Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look.
I attached several pieces of Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2) 3 x 3 3/4" front and back of large flap
(2) 1 1/4 x 3 3/4" front and back of small flap
(2) 3 x 3/4" short sides
(2) 3/4 x 3 3/4" long sides
I stamped the Squirrel onto Basic White Cardstock.
First I stamped the inner part of the image with Pecan Pie Ink.
Then I stamped the outline with Early Espresso Ink.
I cut the image out using the Fluffy Squirrel Builder Punch.
I stamped 2 of the Flower images onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I fussy cut the image out by hand.
I cut the Acorns and Leaves out using the Label Me Grateful dies.
I cut the Leaves from Daffodil Delight, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.
I cut the Acorn Branch from Crumb Cake Cardstock.
I cut the Label from Weekend Adventures Designer Series Paper.
I colored the images with Stampin' blends.
Dark Pecan Pie - Acorn Stem and Acorn Tops
Dark Daffodil Delight - Flower Petals
Dark Pumpkin Pie - Flower Middles
Dark Old Olive - Leaves on Flower Stems
I attached the Leaves to the Label with Liquid Glue and Mini Dimensionals.
I attached the Flowers under the Squirrels paw with Liquid Glue.
I attached the Squirrel on the top of the Leaves with Dimensionals.
I attached the Acorn Branch with Liquid Glue.
I punched 2 sets of matching holes in the right edges of the large and small flaps with a 1/8, or similar, Hole Punch.
I ran two strands of Linen Thread through the holes and tied a bow on the top.
I attached the decorated Label to the front of the box with Dimensionals.
For the final touch I added 3 Mossy Meadow Muted Palette Dots around the Label.
