SLENDER TULIP NAIL FILE GIFT BOX with FLOWERING TULIPS - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a long skinny gift box that holes nail files inside.  You could also put a pretty pen or some kisses inside too.  It measures  7 1/4  x  1  x  3/4".  I used Flowering Tulips stamp set, the Tulips dies, All That dies and the Gingham Embossing Folder.



I started with a piece of Soft Seafoam Cardstock sized
9 3/4  x  4".
I scored the  9 3/4" side at:
1/2,  1 1/4,  8 1/2  and  9 1/4".
I scored the  4" side at:
1/2,  1 1/2,  2 1/4  and  3 1/4".
I rounded the corners of the flaps with a corner rounder.
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


I cut a piece of Soft Saffron Cardstock to  7/8  x  7 1/8".
I put the Cardstock into the Gingham Embossing Folder on a diagonal in order to fit it completely inside.
I attached the embossed Cardstock to the top of the box with Liquid Glue.


I cut 3 Tulips from Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4 leaves from Soft Seafoam Cardstock and 2 of the thin stems from Soft Seafoam Cardstock using the Tulips dies.
I inked the top edges of the Tulips with Polished Pink Ink.
I inked all around the edges of the leaves with Soft Seafoam Ink.


I cut each stem into 2 equal lengths.
I attached the top Tulip first, then stuck a stem piece under the edge with Liquid Glue.
Next I attached the leaves and continued this process down the box adding 2 stems below the bottom Tulip.
I tied a double bow with Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and attached it to the bottom of the lowest Tulip with Liquid Glue.


I cut an Oval Label from Very Vanilla Cardstock using the All That dies.
I stamped the sentiment, from Flowering Tulips stamp set, onto the label with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I punched a small hole in the left side of the Oval and looped some White Baker's Twine through.
I tied the label around the Crinkled Seam Binding and tied a bow at the top.
For the final touch I added an Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewel to each Tulip.
