S imple, pretty box for holding cards, gift cards, candies, or small gifts using Stampin' Up! products.
Project Recipe
Cut cardstock to the following size using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 4-3/8" x 5-3/4" from Pool Party Cardstock
Fold the top flap of one of the long skinny flaps on the Acetate Card Box down flat. Do NOT fold on any other lines yet.
Slide the flattened Acetate Card Box into the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder so that only one side of the box is inside the folder. Make sure the folded over flap is at the top of the folder and the folder is centered side to side on the one side of the box.
Place the folder with one side of the box inside it on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Remove the acetate box from the folder. You should have a beautiful snowflake dry embossed on the top center of one side of the box.
Mount the "Joy to the World" sentiment from the Hearts Come Home Set on Block H. Ink it up with the Bermuda Bay Ink Pad. Stamp it along the very bottom of one short edge of the Pool Party Cardstock so it is centered side to side.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the cardstock just above the stamped sentiment. Leave the protective backing in place for now.
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 embossed snowflake image.
Remove the protective backing from the Tear & Tape Adhesive on the cardstock. Carefully slide the cardstock into the box so it centered behind the front (dry embossed) panel of the box. Use a Bone Folder to press along the back of the cardstock to make sure you have a good seal between the cardstock, the acetate box, and the Mini Glue Dot and Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Put goodies into your box and close it up.
Add a small (1/4") Silver Faceted Gem to the center of the embossed snowflake on the front of the box.
Cut a 16" piece of Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon.
Wrap the ribbon around the box so it hides the Tear & Tape Adhesive on the inside of the box. Tie in place with a knot. Trim the ends.
