Hi Friends!
My project today is a Scalloped topped gift box. It measures 4 1/2 x 4 x 1 1/4". I used Happiness Abounds stamp set, Blossoming Happiness dies, Scalloped Contours dies, Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and Stampin' Blends. I used two pieces of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to construct the box.
I started with the body of the box.
I used a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock sized
9 1/4 x 7".
I scored the 9 1/4" side at:
4 and 5 1/4".
I scored the 7" side at:
1 1/4 and 5 1/4".
To cut the first piece of Cardstock a picture is below of how it should look after scoring and cutting.
For the top of the box I used a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock sized 3 x 4 1/2".
I scored the 3" side only at:
1 1/2".
Next I cut both 4 1/2" sides of the Cardstock with the Scallop Edge die from the Scalloped Contours dies.
Below is a picture of how the Cardstock should look when you are done.
To put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Before attaching the top to the body of the box I attached a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the back of the box with Liquid Glue.
(1) 4 1/4 x 3 3/4".
Then I attached one side of the Scalloped piece to the back of the box with Liquid Glue.
I cut a piece of Basic White Cardstock to measure 4 x 3 1/2".
I cut the background out of the Basic White by cutting it twice using the Background die from Blossoming Happiness dies.
Next, I attached the Basic White Cardstock to another piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper, sized 4 1/4 x 3 3/4", with Liquid Glue.
I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Liquid Glue also.
I attached 3/8" Adhesive Velcro Dots to the inside flap and body of the box for the closure.
I stamped the images from Happiness Abounds stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I stamped two different roses, one of the multi leafed spring and two of the double leaf sprigs.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Light and Dark Flirty Flamingo for the roses.
Light and Dark Mossy Meadow for the double leaf sprigs.
Light and Dark Granny Apple Green for the Multi Leafed Sprig.
I cut the images out using the Blossoming Happiness dies.
I attached the roses first with Dimensionals, then the three sets of leaves with Liquid Glue.
I punched two small holes in the front flap of the box and tied Glittered Organdy Ribbon through with a bow at the front.
I stamped the sentiment, from Happiness Abounds stamp set, onto a 3 x 1/2" piece of Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I flagged the ends and tucked the end of it underneath the bow with Glue Dots.
For the final touch I added 3 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the roses.
