Hi Everyone!
My project today is a Valentine Gift Box that measures 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1". I used Awesome Otters stamp set, Sweet Conversations stamp set, Sweet Hearts dies, Layering Circle dies, Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper, the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and Dots Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Real Red Cardstock sized
7 1/2 x 4 1/2".
I scored the 7 1/2" side at:
1, 3 1/2, 4 1/2 and 7".
I scored the 4 1/2" side at:
1".
To cut and put the inside of the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of what your Cardstock should look like after scoring and cutting.
Next I made the band for the outside of the box with a piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock sized 1 1/4 x 10".
I scored the 10" side at:
4 1/2 and 5 1/2"
I cut both of the short short ends using the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.
I used the Dots Embossing Folder to emboss dots in both side of the Blushing Bride strip.
I stamped the Otter from Awesome Otters stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Crumb Cake for the main body.
Light Smokey Slate for the nose.
I cut a smooth circle (about 1 7/8") from Blushing Bride Cardstock and a scalloped circle from Real Red Cardstock using the Layering Circle dies.
I attached the smooth circle to the scalloped circle with Liquid Glue.
I cut a small heart from Real Red Cardstock using the Sweet Hearts dies.
I attached the heart to the Otter's hand with a dot of Liquid Glue.
I attached the Otter to the Blushing Bride circle with Dimensionals.
I put the strip of Blushing Bride Cardstock around the box with the tag topper cut outs meeting at the top.
I attached the entire embellishment to the strip, in the middle of the box, with Liquid Glue.
I cut the sentiment by hand and punched a small hole in the before the sentiment.
I ran Real Red Double Stitched Ribbon and White Glittered Organdy Ribbon together through the top holes in the strip.
I tied them together at the top of the box with Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.
I threaded the sentiment onto it and tied a bow.
For the final touch I added Wink of Stella Glitter to the Otter's nose and eyes and the heart.
