I started with a piece of Highland Heather Cardstock sized
8 1/2 x 6 1/4"
I scored the 8 1/2" side at:
1, 4, 5 and 8"
I scored the 6 1/4" side at:
1, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2"
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 several pieces of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to the box.
(2) 2 3/4 x 3 1/4" front and back
(2) 2 3/4 x 3/4" short sides
(2) 3/4 x 3 1/4" long sides
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.
I cut a 2 3/8" circle from Basic White Cardstock using the Everyday Details dies.
I used Balmy Blue and Old Olive Inks along with my Large Blending Brushes to color the circle to look like the Sky and Grass.
I cut the Grass & Leaves piece from Old Olive Cardstock and 3 Flowers from Highland Heather Cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs dies.
I split the Grass in half and attached them to either side of the circle (at a slight slant) with Liquid Glue.
I attached the Flowers to the top of the Stems with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Hamster, from Hearts & Hugs stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the image with Stampin' Blends.
Bottom of Face, Hands and Feet - Light Crumb Cake
Cheeks, Nose and inner Ears - Light Bubble Bath
Body and Upper Face - Dark Crumb Cake
I cut the image out using the Hearts & Hugs stamp set.
I attached the Hamster onto the Circle with Dimensionals.
I attached the entire piece to the upper front of the Box with Dimensionals.
I cut the label out of Basic White Cardstock using the Hearts & Hugs dies.
I scored the label on each side next to the sentiment and about 1/8" over to make it shorter.
I stamped the sentiment onto the middle part of the label with Gorgeous Grape Ink.
I attached the label under the circle with a Dimensional in the middle and Liquid Glue on the edges.
I tied Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the top flap and tied a bow on the top of it.
I added 3 Lemon Lime Tinsel Gems to the middle of the Flowers for the final touch.
