Hi Friends!
My project today is a small Window Box that shows off 5 Russell Stover Santas. The box measures 4 x 2 1/4 x 1/2". I used Be Jolly stamp set, Rectangle Stitched dies, Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper and Stampin' Blends.
I started with a piece of Old Olive Cardstock sized 10 x 3 3/4".
I scored the 10" side at:
1/2, 4 3/4, 5 1/4 and 9 1/2".
I scored the 3 3/4" side at:
1/2, 2 3/4 and 3 1/4".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of my template. Your Cardstock should look like this after scoring, cutting, rounding the corners of the flap with the Detail Trio Punch and cutting the window.
Before putting the box together I attached the first piece of Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper,
(sized 4 x 2"), to the front of the box (the part below the flap) with Liquid Glue.
I cut a window out of the front using the Rectangle Stitched dies.
The opening is about 2 3/4 x 1 3/8".
I attached a piece of Window Sheet to the inside of the box sized
4 x 2 1/8".
I used Stampin' Seal+ on the very edges of the Window Sheet to attached it.
I attached the other sheet of DSP (4 x 2") to the back of the box with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Tree and Bird Images, from Be Jolly stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the images with Stampin' Blends.
The Tree
Light and Dark Old Olive for the Tree.
Dark Real Red and Dark Daffodil Delight for the ornaments.
Light and Dark Cinnamon Cider for the trunk.
The Bird
Dark Real Red for the Hat.
Light Real Red for the bird.
Dark Daffodil Delight for the Beak.
I fussy cut the images our by hand.
I stamped the sentiment, from Be Jolly stamp set, onto Old Olive Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the sentiment out using the Rectangle Stitched dies.
I attached the Tree to the left side of the box with Dimensionals.
I attached the sentiment to the right side of the box with Stampin' Seal+.
I attached the bird to the end of the sentiment with Mini Dimensionals.
I added 5 Russell Stover Chocolate Santas into the box.
For the final touch I added Wink of Stella Glitter to the Ornaments and the Birds hat.
