SWEETEST CHERRIES STURDY GIFT BOX with AWASH IN BEAUTY DSP - Stampin' Up!

Shop Stampin' Up! Here

Hi Friends!

My project today is a Rectangular Gift Box that measures

5  x  3  x  1 1/4".  I used Sweetest Cherries stamps set, the Cherry Builder Punch, Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

You can watch my Video Tutorial Here!

I started with a piece of Poppy Parade Cardstock sized

11  x  8 1/2".

I scored the 11" side at:

1 1/4,  4 1/4,  5 1/2,  8 1/2  and  9 3/4".

I scored the  8 1/2" side at:

1/2,  1 3/4,  6 3/4  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, cutting and rounding the corners of the side pieces.

After attaching the tabs with Tear and Tape I attached the two front flap pieces together with Liquid glue.  I trimmed the sides slightly (if needed) to make sure the flap fit inside the box snuggly but not too tight.

Next I cut a  4 3/4  x  2 3/4" piece of Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper.

I stamped the sentiment, from Sweetest Cherries stamp set,

1/2" down and over to the left onto the DSP with Balmy Blue Ink.

I attached the DSP to the top of the box with Liquid Glue.

I attached 4 more pieces of DSP to the box.

(2)  4 3/4  x  1"  for the long sides.

(2)  1  x  2 3/4"  for the short sides.

I stamped the Cherries, from Sweetest Cherries stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock.

I stamped the Cherries with Poppy Parade Ink.

I stamped the Leaves with Pear Pizzazz Ink.

I stamped the Veins on the Leaves and the Stems with Mossy Meadow Ink.

I cut the pieces out using the Cherry Builder Punch.

I attached the Cherries to the right of the sentiment with Liquid Glue.

I cut a finger grip hole on the left side of the front side with a small circle punch.

I tied a small bow from White Baker's Twine and attached it between the leaves with Liquid Glue.

For the final touch I added 3 Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels under the sentiment.
