ELEGANT FAVOR BOX with EXPRESSONS IN INK and ARTISTIC DIES - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
Today I made a quick and easy Elegant Favor Box.  You can make 2 of these boxes from one piece of 8 1/2 x 11" Cardstock.  I used Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, Artistic dies, Encircled in Friendship stamp set and Layering Circle dies.



I started with a piece of Polished Pink Cardstock sized
8 1/4  x  5 1/2".
I scored the  8 1/4"  side at:
1/2,  3 1/2,  4 3/4  and  7 3/4".
I scored the  5 1/2"  side at:
1 1/4  and  4 1/4".
I scored each side of the  8 1/4"  side of the Cardstock to the 1st scoreline ONLY at:
2 1/4  and  6".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
I also included a photo below of how your Cardstock should look after  scoring and cutting.


I attached Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper to the front and back flap of the box in sizes:
(2)  2 3/4  x  2 3/4".
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.


I cut the branch of leaves from Gold Foil Sheet using the Artistic dies.  I used only the 4 lowest leaves and stems of the die cut.
I used Liquid Glue only the top stem and the bases of the top leaves to the front of the box.


I punched two holes at the top of the box, through the front and back flaps together, with a 1/8" hole punch.  I put 2 Peppermint Patties inside and ran some Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon through the holes and tied a bow at the front.


I used the smallest circle and scalloped circle dies from the Layering Circle dies to cut a tag out of Espressions in Ink Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the sentiment from Encircled in Friendship stamp set onto the circle with Tuxedo Black Ink.


I punched a hole in the top of the tag with a 1/8" circle punch and tied some Gold Trim, from the Simply Elegant Trim Pack, through the hole.
I tied the tag underneath the Pale Papaya Ribbon.
