Hi Friends!
My project today is a Gift Box for a Chocolate Turkey. It measures 4 3/4 x 3 1/4 x 1 1/2". I used the Nuts about Squirrels stamp set, Rectangle Stitched dies, Blossoming Happiness dies and Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper.
I started with a piece Cajun Craze Cardstock sized
10 x 6 1/4".
I scored the 10" side at:
1/2, 2, 5 1/4 and 6 3/4".
I scored the 6 1/4" side at:
1 1/2 and 5 1/4" to the 4th SCORELINE ONLY.
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 top.
I attached 5 pieces of Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2) 3 x 3 1/2" front and inside of box.
(2) 1 1/4 x 3 1/2" sides of box.
(1) 3 x 4 1/2" back of box.
I rounded the top corners of the DSP for the back and inside of the box.
I stamped the squirrel image onto Basic White Cardstock.
Top of the Squirrel with Pumpkin Pie Ink.
Outline of the Squirrel with Tuxedo Black Ink.
Top of the Acorn with Early Espresso Ink.
Bottom of the Acorn with Crumb Cake Ink.
I cut the image out, with the Squirrel towards the bottom, with a 3 1/2 x 2 1/4" rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched dies.
I cut the top off at 2 3/4" using the Notebook die from the Blossoming Happiness dies.
I cut another of the same rectangle from Cajun Craze Cardstock.
I cut the top off at about 3 1/4" from the bottom using the same notebook die.
I cut a long rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched dies from Mossy Meadow Cardstock.
I stamped the sentiment onto the right side of the rectangle with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I folded the sentiment rectangle and glue the back to the front.
I stapled a mini staple next to the end of the sentiment.
I attached the two rectangles together with Liquid Glue.
I cut a long rectangle from the Rectangle Stitched dies from Mossy Meadow Cardstock.
I attached the entire piece to the front of the box with Dimensionals.
I punched 2 holes in the top/back of the box with a 1/8" hole punch.
I ran Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim through the holes and tied a bow.
For the final touch I added 3 Matte Black Dots around the Squirrel.
