JOYFUL LIFE A2 CARD BOX TUTORIAL with HARVEST MEADOW



Hi Friends!
My project for today is a Box that will fit A2 cards and envelopes.  The box measures 6  x  4 3/4  x  1".  It will fit  about 5-7 inside  depending on the thickness of your cards.  I used more products from the NEW MINI CATALOG including, Joyful Life stamp set, Seasonal Labels dies, Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper and Matte Decorative Dots.



I started with 2 pieces of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock.
Piece (1) is   11  x  8 1/4".
I scored the 11" side at:
1 1/2,  2 1/2,  8 1/2  and  9 1/2".
I scored the  8 1/4" side at:
2 1/2  and  3 1/2".
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring and cutting Piece (1).


Piece (2) is  7 1/4  x  6".
I scored only the  7 1/4" side at:
2 1/2  and  3 1/2.
Below is what Piece (2) should look like after scoring.  There is no cutting needed for this piece.
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here!


I attached 1 piece of Basic White Cardstock to the front flap of the box sized  5 3/4  x  3 1/2".  I rounded the bottom corners of this piece with the Detail Trio Punch and attached it with Stampin' Seal.
I attached 3 pieces of Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper to the box in sizes:
(1)  5 5/8  x  3 3/8"  (rounded the bottoms corners also) for on top of the Basic White Cardstock on the flap.
(1)  5 3/4  x  2 1/4"  for the inside of the box.
(1)  5 3/4  x  4 1/2" for the back of the box.
I attached the pieces to the box with Stampin' Seal.


I cut a label from Pear Pizzazz Cardstock using the largest label from the Seasonal Labels dies.
I embossed the label using the Dots Embossing Folder from the Checks and Dots Embossing Folders.
I attached the label to the middle of the flap with Dimensionals.


I stamped the Bear and Bunny image from Joyful Life stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Crumb Cake for the Bear.
Dark Smokey Slate for the Bike.
Light Smokey Slate for the Bunny,
Light Petal Pink for the inside of the Bear and Bunny ears.
Dark Pumpkin Pie for the Bear's sweater.
Light Cinnamon Cider for the basket
I fussy cut the image out and attached it to the Pear Pizzazz label with Dimensionals.


I stamped the sentiment from Joyful Life stamp set onto Bumblebee Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Ink.  I cut the sentiment out with a label from Seasonal Labels dies.
I attached the label to the front of the box with Liquid Glue on the left and a Dimensional on the right.


I attached a 5/8" Velcro Dot on the inside of the flap and on the body of the box for a closure.
For the final touch I added 3 Matte Decorative Dots to the upper left side of the box.
