Hi Friends!
My project today is a 4 1/2 x 3 x 3/4" Gift Box that I made from one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11" Cardstock. I used Glad We're Friends stamp set, Fabulous Frames dies, Stylish Shapes dies, 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper and Matte Decorative Dots.
I started with a piece of Tahitian Tide Cardstock sized
10 1/2 x 8 1/2".
I scored the 10 1/2" side at:
3/4, 5 1/4 and 6".
I scored the 8 1/2" side at:
3 1/4, 4, 7 1/4 and 8".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring and cutting.
I attached 3 pieces of Tahitian Tide 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper to the box.
(3) 4 1/4 x 3".
I attached the Plaid side of the paper to the front flap and the Polka Dots side to inside the flap and the body of the box.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I cut a half circle out of the inside flap of the box with a 2" circle punch.
I cut a frame from Tahitian Tide Cardstock using the Fabulous Frames dies.
I stamped the image, from Glad We're Friends stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock using Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the image out using the same Frame die.
I used only the outside frame from Tahitian Tide Cardstock and the inside piece from the Basic White Cardstock.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
I colored the Ears and Tongue with Dark Petal Pink.
I colored the outside fur of the Dog with light Soft Suede.
I colored the Fan with Light and Dark Smokey Slate.
I colored around the Dog and Fan with Light Pool Party.
I colored the streamers with Light Balmy Blue.
I attached the Frame to the front of the box first, then the image, with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White Cardstock with Tahitian Tide Ink.
I cut the sentiment out with a 1 7/8" square die from Stylish Shapes dies.
I attached the square inside the flap with Liquid Glue.
I tied Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the fold of the box and tied a bow on the outside.
For the final touch I added 3 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots around the image.
