P retty, decorated acetate box for holding cards or other small gifts using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" from Petal Pink Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Shaded Spruce Cardstock
- 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" from Whisper White Cardstock
Slide the flattened Acetate Card Box into the Lovely Floral 3D Embossing Folder so that only one side of the box is inside the folder. Line up the folder on the box so that the leaves at the top of the embossing image are near the top of the front panel of the box.
Place the folder with one side of the box inside it on top of the Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
VERY IMPORTANT: You are using only ONE Cutting Pad. If you try to use two, the sandwich will be too thick and you could damage the Big Shot.
Remove the acetate box from the folder. You should have the floral image dry embossed on one side of the box.
Fold along all score lines on the acetate box, but leave the box open on both ends.
Carefully adhere a Mini Glue Dot to the INSIDE of the box so it is in the center of the large, embossed flower image.
Put a 2" strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive in the lower left corner of the large Petal Pink rectangle so the rectangle is vertical and the Tear & Tape is vertical and is about 1-1/2" from the left edge and 1/2" from the bottom edge.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape and slide the piece of Petal Pink Cardstock into the box and press it in place against the front panel.
Fill the box with cards and envelopes or other small items and close the box.
Cut a 10-1/4" piece of Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the bottom of the box about 1-1/4" from the bottom edge. Secure the ends in place with small strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the lower left side.
Cut a 10-1/4" piece of the Shaded Spruce 1/8" ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.
Wrap the ribbon around the bottom of the box in the center of the Petal Pink ribbon. Secure the ends in place with small strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the lower left side.
Mount the "you are amazing" image from the All Things Thanks Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Shaded Spruce Ink Pad. Stamp it on one end of the white strip leaving room to punch it out.
Unlock the 1-3/4" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch and get it centered in the punching area. Punch.
Unlock the 2" Circle Punch. Slide the strip of Shaded Spruce Cardstock into the punch. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle punch out to the center of the Shaded Spruce circle.
Adhere the matted sentiment circles to the center of a Flirty Flamingo Colored Doily.
Adhere the matted circle sentiment doily to the front of the box so it is centered over the ribbon in the lower left corner and hides the ends of the ribbons.
Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a large gem from a sheet of Clear Faceted Gems making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the center of the dry embossed large flower on the front of the box.
Cut a 10-1/4" piece of the Shaded Spruce 1/8" ribbon from the Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack.
Cut a 4" piece of the Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon.
Lay the green ribbon piece in the center of the pink ribbon piece. Tie a half knot in the center. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the box on the right side of the matted sentiment circles so it is even with the ribbon already on the box.
