WINDOW BOX TUTORIAL with DANY GARDEN and DRANGONFLY GARDEN - `Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends,
For my project today I made a Rectangle Window box.  I sized it to fit some small doughnuts or doughnut holes.  I added the oval window on the top to show off the contents.  I used Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper, the Dragonfly Punch and the Stitched Shape dies.  The Dandy Garden DSP and Stitched Shapes dies are both retiring.



I started with a piece of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock sized
10  x  7 1/2".
I scored the 10" side at:
1 1/2,  4 1/4,  5 3/4  and  8 1/2".
I scored the   7 1/2" side at:
1 1/2  and  6".
To cut the box you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


Before I put the box together I needed to cut the oval window.
I attached a  4 1/2  x  2 1/2"  piece of Dandy Garden DSP on the panel that I want to be the top.
I cut an oval hole in the panel with the DSP using one of the Stitched Shape dies.
I attached a piece of Window Sheet to the underside of that panel,  sized  3 1/2  x  2 1/4", with Glue Dots.
Then I put the box together using Tear and Tape.


I attached the rest of the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper to the sides of the box with Liquid Glue.
(2)  4 1/2  x  2 1/2"
(2)  2 1/2  x  1 1/4" 
I cut a Dragonfly Image from the Dandy Garden DSP with the Drangonfly Punch.  I attached it to the box with Liquid Glue on the back of the body and Dimensionals on the wings.
I placed the Dragonfly on the right hand side with the wings and head touching the Window Sheet.


I wrapped Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon around the left hand side of the box twice and tied a bow at the top.
I added some Wink of Stella to the Drangonfly's wings and for the final touch I added 3 Opal Rounds to the top right side of the box.
