I hope you enjoyed the Bird Banter cards I made and shared with you the other day. Today’s project is a small box I made using the new stamp set LOVELY WISHES<\/strong><\/span> and our new STAMPIN’ BLENDS<\/span><\/strong> markers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bottom of Box:<\/strong><\/span> Cut PINK PIROUETTE<\/strong><\/span> cardstock into an 8″ x 8″ square and score all sides at 2″. TIP:<\/span><\/strong> before you score all side you want to cut a very small sliver from 2 sides that have a connecting corner. This helpful step will allow the top of the box to slide on with ease. About 1\/16″ from two sides.<\/p>\n Assemble Bottom of Box:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>You will need to make 4 cuts, 2 on each side along the score line. From the bottom of the score cut to the top of the perpendicular score line. See step 2 in image below for all 4 cut lines. You will want to cut small wedges from each corner; see step 3. This step makes for a cleaner looking box. Next, attach adhesive to all 4 corners as shown, step 4. For this box I used TEAR & TAPE ADHESIVE<\/strong><\/span> but any adhesive will work. To create the box you will fold in each corner to create the box.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Top of Box:<\/span><\/strong> Cut WHISPER WHITE<\/strong><\/span> cardstock into a 6″ x 6″ square. Before you score and cut you will want to stamp and color the cardstock. See image below. I used\u00a0STAMPIN’ BLENDS<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>to color the stamped images on the top of the box.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0The colors I used are\u00a0PINK PIROUETTE<\/strong><\/span> and OLD OLIVE<\/strong><\/span>. After you color, score each side 1″ and follow steps 2 – 4 above.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After you have assembled your box it will look like the image below but you can see I added a little something to the lid of the box. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Box Embellishment:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Using the largest square die from the STITCHED SHAPES FRAMELITS<\/strong><\/span>, cut a piece of OLD OLIVE<\/span><\/strong> and with the second largest square cut a piece of WHISPER WHITE<\/strong><\/span>. I stamped the sentiment “Wishing you a Lovely Day” and some leaves from the stamp I used to stamp the top of the box. The last embellishment I added was\u00a0PEARL BASIC JEWELS<\/strong><\/span>. TIP:<\/strong><\/span> you can use the STAMPIN’ BLENDS<\/strong><\/span> to color the pearls to match your project. See finished top of the box below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I was pretty happy with how the box turned out and can’t wait to give it to one of my coworkers to thank her for always being so helpful. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Product List <\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
