Instructions:
The finished size of this cigar box is 8.89” x 5.51” x 2.95”
(17.5cm x 14cm x 7.5cm)
The cigar box size used 6.299” x 1.259” (16cm x 11cm x
3.2cm)
This project uses 5 peony flowers, 3 peony buds, 24 double lilacs,
5 lilac buds and 15 peony leaves.
Taking the white paint, paint the inside and out side of the
box. Put aside to dry.
Taking the white card stock cut x2 3.779” x 10.629” (9.6cm x
27cm)
Make a fold at 5.70” (14.5cm) from one and 5.70” and 5.90” (14.5cm
and 15cm ) on the other , adhere the two pieces together so you have a triple
fold card folder with the short ends glued to make the base.
Taking the pink card stock cut the card matting a little
smaller for the inside and out side of the card folder.
Taking the paper pad find the paper with the brick and
window with flowers printed on it, use this for the second matting. Again cut a
little smaller than the pink card stock. Adhere all the matting to the white
card folder base. Cut extra matting for the card folder front. Adhere this to
the card front with a layer of cardboard between the two layers to give height.
Taking the Fleur boarder die and cut a double boarder for
the front. 5.118” (13cm) long. Two single boarded pockets, 1st 2.16” x 5.51” (5.5cm
x 14cm) 2nd 3.34” x 2.36” (8.5cm x 6cm) Apply glitter to the edges
of the lace boarders with the aid of the clear drying adhesive. When dry, trim
and adhere in place as seen in the detail photos. These will form the pockets
for the tags for journaling and photos. The front, trim the boarder and adhere
on a angle. Make the flowers and leaves using the large and small Sweet Peony
stamps and matching dies. Use also the Lush Lilac stamps and dies for the
lilacs and lilac buds. Use the 3d stamping paint to bring color to the flowers
and leaves. Use the flower-shaping mold to bring the shape into the flowers.
Using the flower shaping tools to ball the flower centers only. Make holes in
the flower centers for the stamens. Stack the petals and adhere together using
the hot glue gun or the clear drying glue. Apply the glitter to the flower
petal using the clear drying glue and dipping into the glitter. Put aside to
dry. Do the same with the leaves.
Arrange the flowers into clusters as seen in the photo of the project.
Find the printed sentiment. Trim and adhere in place on the front of the card
folder. Make the tags by cutting from both pink card stock and the design
paper. Place the tags into the pockets.
Above photo showing the placement of the tags
Above photo shows the fold out card base.
Taking the pink card stock cut strips to cover the box
sides, box base, box lid inside and out side. Cut a little smaller than the box
so the white paint will still show. Taking the paper pad find the paper with
the brick and window with flowers printed on it. Cut strips for the matting of
the box sides, this is cut a little smaller than the pink card stock. Adhere to
the sides. Taking the same design paper cut the paper for matting for the box
lid top, again a little smaller than the pink card stock. Spritz the paper wit
water, when dry adhere loosely so it will not sit flat. Taking the same paper design
cut two mattings a little smaller than the other for the box lid inside. Adhere
layers of cardboard between the matting layers. Adhere all layers to the inside
lid. Taking the Fleur boarder die cut a double lace boarder from the design
paper that measures (15cm) trim this to fit the matting of the lid inside.
Apply glitter to the lace edges and when dry adhere in place.
Make a triple bow from the ribbon; adhere to the lower
center of the box lid. Arrange the flower clusters as seen in the project
photo. Place the card folder into the box. Because the flowers are 3d and this
cigar box is to low, the box does not close. So this is a table centerpiece
that stays open. To keep it open, apply glue from the hot glue gun to the out
side box hinge so you will not see it.
Now this sure is a box of tricks....lol Hope you had fun...
