SNAILED IT GIFT BOX WITH HANDLES - Stampin' Up!

Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Gift Box that has handles on it.  I used Snailed It stamp set, Snail dies, Layering Circle dies and Hippo and Friends dies.  The box measures  2 1/2  x  1 1/2  x  4 1/4".  It fits 2 rolls of Stampin' Up! Baker's Twine perfectly.  It is also a great size for treats or small gifts and jewelry.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Real Red Cardstock sized  8 1/2  x  6".

I scored the 8 1/2" side at:

1/2,  2,  4 1/2  and  6".

I scored the 6" side at:

1 1/2  and  4".

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

Below is a picture of what your Cardstock should look like after scoring, cutting, rounding the corners with the Detail Trio Punch and pushing holes for the handles.

I attached a piece of Coastal Cabana Cardstock sized  10  x  2 1/4" to the body of the box by creasing it with my fingers and taking it off and reinforcing the folds with my Bone Folder.

I attached the Coastal Cabana Cardstock to the box with Liquid Glue.

I attached a few pieces of the Regals 6x6 Designer Series Paper to the front, back and sides of the box in sizes:

(2)  2 1/8  x  2 3/8"

(2)  2 1/8  x  1 3/8"

I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.

I cut 2 pieces of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon 14" long.

I tied them together through the handles, on the right side of the box, and tied a bow at the front.

I cut a scalloped circle from Real Red Cardstock and a smooth circle from Coastal Cabana Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.  I attached them together with Liquid Glue.

I cut a shape from Basic White Cardstock using the Hippo and Friends dies.  I attached the die cut on top of the circles with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the snail image from Snailed It stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Ink.

I stamped the sentiment onto a Coastal Cabana Label, cut from the Messages die, and attached it to the top of the box with Liquid Glue.

I colored the snail body with Light Bermuda Bay and Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends.

I colored the shell with a Light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend.

I die cut the snail out using the Snail dies and attached it to the white shape with Dimensionals.

I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Dimensionals.

For the final touch I added Resin Heart Embellishments to the sides of the sentiment and the letter on the snail.
