Hi Friends!
My project today is a Treat Box that measures
4 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 1 1/2". I used Elephant Parade stamp set, the Elephant dies, Fabulous Frames dies and Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper. I made some Curly Q pieces for the top of the box with some Cardstock and my Bone Folder.
I started with a piece of Parakeet Party Cardstock sized
8 1/2 x 6 1/4".
I scored the 8 1/2" side at:
2 1/2, 4, 6 1/2 and 8".
I scored the 6 1/4" side at:
1 1/2, 4 3/4 and 5 3/4".
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 pieces of Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2) 2 1/4 x 3" for the front and back.
(2) 1 1/4 x 3" for the long sides.
(2) 2 1/4 x 3/4" for the tops.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Elephant, Balloon and 3 peanuts, from Elephant Parade stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the images out using the Elephant dies.
I colored the images with Stampin' Blends.
Light Flirty Flamingo for the inner ears.
Light and Dark Smokey Slate for the Elephant.
Light Fresh Freesia for the Balloon.
Light Crumb Cake for the Peanuts.
I cut 2 frames out using the Fabulous Frames dies. One from Fresh Freesia Cardstock and one from Butterfly Kisses DSP.
I used the outer part from the Fresh Freesia Cardstock and the inner piece from Butterfly Kisses DSP.
I attached the frame pieces to the middle front of the box with Liquid Glue.
I attached the Elephant in the middle of the frame with Dimensionals.
I put a Dimensional on the Balloon and Liquid Glue on the string to attach the Balloon.
I attached the Peanuts with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the sentiment, from Elephant Parade stamp set, onto Parakeet Party Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut the sentiment out with a small label die from the Fabulous Frames dies.
I cut 2 pieces of Cardstock 1/8 x 11", one from Parakeet Party Cardstock and one from Fresh Freesia Cardstock.
I curled each end of each piece with my Bone Folder and then wound it around my finger.
I clipped them onto the middle top of the box with a small Binder Clip.
I tucked the sentiment under the edge of the clip.
For the final touch I added some Wink of Stella Glitter to the Balloon.
