Hi Friends!
My project today is a two piece Box for 2 Mini Liquor Bottles.  It measures  4 1/4  x  3 1/2  x  1 1/2".  I used the Bottled Happiness Bundle (Bottled Happiness stamp set and Vintage Bottle Punch) which is in the New Annual Catalog and will be available on May 4th.
I also used Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper, Old World Paper Embossing Folder and Fine Art Ribbon.



I started on the Bottom of the Box first with a piece of So Saffron Cardstock sized
8 1/2  x  7 1/4".
I scored the  8 1/2" side at:
3 1/2  and  5".
I scored the  7 1/4" side at:
1 1/2  and  5 3/4".
Next I worked on the top of the box with a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper
sized  7 1/2  x  7 1/4".

3  and  4 1/2".
I scored the  7 1/4" side at:
1 1/2  and  5 3/4".
To cut and put the box pieces together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below are pictures of how your Cardstock and DSP should look after scoring and cutting.

I embossed the Rectangle with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder.
I cut another of the same Rectangle die from Crumb Cake Cardstock.
I cut 3/4" off the bottom of the Crumb Cake Stitched Rectangle and attached it to the bottom of the Pear Pizzazz Rectangle with Liquid Glue.

I stamped the rest of the bottle with So Saffron Ink.

I attached the Bottle with the Label to the middle with Dimensionals.


I wrapped Fine Art Ribbon around the long side of the box and tied a bow on the left side.
