BY MY SIDE SIMPLE BOX with GINGHAM COTTAGE DSP - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a two piece box that measures  4 1/4  x  3 1/4  x  3/4".  I used By My Side stamp set, the Rectangle Stitched dies, Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper and Stampin' Blends.  You can fit a package of Snappers and 2 Nestle Crunch Mini Candy Bars inside.  A Memento Ink Pad or a Deck of cards will also fit.



I started with a piece of Night of Navy Cardstock sized
9 1/4  x  3 1/4".
I scored only the  9 1/4" side at:
4 1/4  and  5".
The Night of Navy Cardstock does not get cut at all.
Next,
I used a piece of Real Red Cardstock sized
5 1/2  x  4 1/4".
I scored all sides at 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 put the Real Red Cardstock together with Tear and Tape.  Then I attached it to the inside/back of the Night of Navy Cardstock, by lining the top of the box just below the scoreline, with Liquid Glue.
I attached 3 pieces of Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2)  4  x  3"  for the top and bottom of the box.
(1)  2 3/4  x  1/2"  for the spine of the box.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.


I stamped the sentiment, from By My Side stamp set, onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I stamped the image right next to the sentiment, with the dog underneath, with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I cut them out with a die from the Rectangle Stitched dies making sure to put the stamped images to the left hand side.
After cutting the rectangle out I lined up the same die to cut the right side a bit shorter and ran it through my machine again.  The finished die cut measures about 2 7/8  x  2 1/4.
I colored the images with Stampin' Blends.


I attached the rectangle to a piece of Night of Navy Cardstock sized  3 1/4  x  2 1/2" with Liquid Glue.
I stamped just the Dog from the image in the bottom left corner of a piece of Basic White Cardstock sized  4 x 3 with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I attached the sheet inside the front cover of the box with Liquid Glue.


I tied Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the left side of the box and tied a bow at the top.
I attached the rectangles to the top of the box, over the ribbon, with Dimensionals.
For the final touch I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels around the images.
