CACTUS CUTIES DOUBLE TOPPED BOX with CACTUS BUILDER PUNCH - Stampin' Up!


Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!
My project today is a Square box that measures  3 1/4  x  3 1/4  x  1 1/4".  It has a double flap top secured with a big bow made of White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon.  I also used. Cactus Cuties stamp set, the Cactus Builder Punch, Beautiful Shapes dies and Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper.



I started with a piece of Bermuda Bay Cardstock sized
9 1/2  x  5 3/4".
I scored the  9 1/2"  side at:
1 1/4,  4 1/2,  5 3/4  and  9".
I scored the  5 3/4"  side at:
1 1/4   x  4 1/2"
To cut and out the boxes together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of what your Cardstock should look like after scoring, cutting and rounding the corners of one of the flaps with the Detail Trio Punch.


I attached 6 pieces of Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper (free with $50 purchase from Saleabration Catalog) to the box.
(2)  3 x 3"  for the front and back.
(4)  3 x 1"  for the sides, top and bottom.
Round the corners on one of these for the top flap.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.


I punched two holes in the top flap and the flap underneath with a 1/4" hole punch.
I ran White  3/4"  Frayed Ribbon through both sets of holes and tied a bow at the top.
I cut out 2 Hexagons using the Beautiful Shapes dies.
The largest Hexagon from Sunshine and Rainbows DSP.
The smallest Hexagon from Mango Melody Cardstock.


I stamped the Cactus from Cactus Cutes stamp set on Basic Whire Cardstock using Granny Apple Green Ink.
I stamped the pot onto Basic White Cardstock with Bermuda Bay Ink.
I cut out the Cactus pieces and pot using the Cactus Builder Punch.
I cut 3 flowers from Mango Melody Cardstock using the Cactus Builder Punch.
I stamped the sentiment onto the small hexagon with Tuxedo Black Ink.


I put the Pot and Cactus pieces together with Liquid Glue and a Silicone Mat.
I attached them to the Large Hexagon with Dimensionals.
I attached the Large Hexagon to the middle/front of the box with Dimensionals.
I attached the small hexagon to the bottom left of the front with 2 Dimensionals stacked.
For the final touch I added 3 yellow Matte Decorative Dots to the Flowers.
