Mini Stationery Box with Have a Hoot

Hi Friends!

My project today is a little fold over box that holds mini sticky notes, clips and a little pen. I used Have a Hoot stamp set, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Layering Oval dies and the Delightful Tag Topper Punch. I used Tis' the Season DSP and Sheer Red Ribbon for the original box.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock sized 9 3/4 x 3 1/2".

I scored the 9 3/4" side at:

3/4, 4 1/2, 5 1/4 and 9".

I scored the 3 1/2" side at:

3/4 and 2 3/4".

To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.

I added some Plaid Tidings DSP, (for the original project I used Tis' the Season DSP) in sizes:

(1) 3 5/8 x 1 7/8"

(2) 3 5/8 x 5/8"

(2) 1 7/8 x 5/8"

I attached the DSP to the box using Stampin' Seal.

I stamped the image from Have a Hoot stamp set onto Whisper White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.

I colored the image with Stampin' Blends:

Light and Dark Soft Suede

Light and Dark Smokey Slate

Dark Balmy Blue (for the original I used Dark Real Red for the hats)

I cut out the image with an Oval die from the Layering Oval dies.

I also used the same dies to cut a Scallop Oval out of Balmy Blue.

I attached the image to the Scallop with Liquid Glue and the Scallop to the box with Dimensionals.

I tied Metallic Mesh Ribbon around the box as shown in the picture.

To make the Sticky Note cover I started with a piece of Coordinating DSP that was sized

Just over 2" x 4 3/4".

I punched one end with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

I folded the paper around the sticky note pad (from Dollar Tree) starting with the front flap. I made a mark with a pencil at the point where I wanted to trim the paper and cut it off with my Paper Trimmer.

I took the paper off the notes and sharpened the folds with my bone folder.

I attached the notes to the DSP with Stampin' Seal+ on the back of the pad.

I added Slim Velcro dots for the closure and added a Blue Adhesive Backed Gem over the hole.

I covered some clips with scraps of DSP and added them to the box with the notes and a pen from the Dollar Tree.
