SWEET STRAWBERRY FRENCH MACAROON GIFT BOX - Stampin' Up!

Hi Friends!

I used the Sweet Strawberry Bundle for my project today. I made a gift box for 3 French Macaroons that are 1 1/2" circles. The box measures 2 x 2 x 3 1/2". It will also fit larger Macaroons. I used Sweet Strawberry stamp set, the Strawberry Builder Punch and 2021-23 In Color Designser Series Paper.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock sized 8 1/2 x 8".

I scored the 8 1/2" side at:

1/2, 2 1/2, 4 1/2 and 6 1/2".

I scored the 8" side at:

2, 5 1/2 and 7 1/2".

Below is an example of how your paper should look after scoring and cutting.

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

For this box I used several pieces of 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper in sizes:

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

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

Before putting the box together, I attached one piece of DSP, sized 3 3/8 x 1 7/8", to the side that has the flap at the end. I cut the window in that side using the Tasteful Label dies.

I attached a piece of Window Sheet, 3 3/8 x 1 7/8", inside the box over the window opening with Glue Dots.

I put the box together using Tear and Tape.

I stamped 2 strawberry images from Sweet Strawberry stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Polished Pink Ink.

I stamped the strawberry tops with Soft Seafoam Ink.

I stamped the flowers (that fit in the punch) with Polished Pink Ink.

I stamped one of the large leaves with Soft Seafoam Ink.

I stamped the larger leaves and flowers image with Soft Seafoam Ink.

I punched out the strawberries and larger flowers using the Strawberry Builder Punch.

I fussy cut the small leaves and flowers from the larger image.

I attached the leaves to the box, as shown in the pictures, with Liquid Glue and I popped the Strawberries up with Dimensionals, and the flowers with Glue Dots.

I tied White and Blushing Bride Twine together in a bow and attached it the the top of one of the Strawberries with a Glue Dot.

For the final touch I added In Color Jewels to the middle of the flowers.
