CRAYON and PAPER PAD GIFT BOX TUTORIAL with COUNT ON ME - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
For my project today I made a Crayon and Paper Pad Box.  I think this is the perfect thing to bring along  to keep kids busy during the summer!  I used Count on Me stamp set, Brights 6x6 Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circle dies.



I started with a piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock sized
8 1/2  x  8 1/4".
I scored the  8 1/2" side at:
3/4,  6  and  6 3/4".
I scored the  8 1/4" side at:
3/4,  3 7/8",  4 5/8  and  7 3/4".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
There is a picture below of how the Cardstock should look after scoring, cutting and rounded the corners of the flap using the Detail Trio Punch.


I attached 3 pieces of the Brights 6x6 Designer Series Paper to the box in sizes:
(2)  2 7/8  x  5"
(1)  2 7/8  x  1 1/2"
I cut part of a circle 1" down from the top of the side without the flap using a 2 1/2" circle punch after attaching the DSP.
I used Tear and Tape to put the box together.


I attached 5/8" Adhesive Velcro Dot to the top of the inside of the box and the back of the flap for a closure.
I stamped the Kangaroo image from Count on Me stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the image out using the Layering Circle dies.  I also cut a Scalloped Circle from Bermuda Bay Cardstock using the same dies.


I stamped the grass image around the Kangaroo with Old Olive Ink.
I colored the Kangaroo with Stampin' Blends:
Light Crumb Cake for the belly
Light Flirty Flamingo for the nose
Light and Dark Soft Suede for the rest of the body
Light Mossy Meadow for the leaf.
I attached the Basic White onto the Bermuda Bay Cardstock with Liquid Glue.


I attached the image piece onto the front of the box with Dimensionals.
I attached 3 small Polished Pink Flowers, from the Loose Flower Flourishes, around the grass with Liquid Glue.
For the final touch I added Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon together in a bow and attached it to the front flap with Glue Dots.
