This box when made measures: 1” deep x 5 ½”

To make the box base: Taking the yellow card
stock and cut the base to 9 ½” x 7 ½”. On the 7 ½” side make a fold at 1” and a
fold at 6 ½”. At the 9 ½” side make a
fold at 1” and a fold line at 8 ½”.Taking the yellow cardstock and cut the lid
to 9 ¾” x 7 ¾”. On the 7 ¾” side make a fold at 1” and a fold at 6 ¾”. At the 9
¾” side make a fold at 1” and a fold at 8 ¾”.On the longer sides of the lid and
bottom box cut into the corners, fold all fold lines and adhere to form a box
and lid.
To decorate the box top: Taking sheet 2B from
the paper collection and cut this a little smaller than the box lid. Ink the
edges with the Green Topaz ink and the inking tool. Adhere this to the box lid.
Taking the gold cardstock and the white
stamping cardstock, cut the lace frames using the Elaborate Oval frames die set. Cutting the frame background
first out of the gold cardstock then alternating with the white stamping card,
cut the layers out. Ink the white card stock frame edges with the green topaz
ink. Taking the sepia archival ink, stamp the sentiment to the last lace frame.
Apply to the white card stock frame
edges clear drying glue with the aid of the hydra sponge. Dip the edges with
glue on it in the glitter. Set aside to dry. When dry tap any lose glitter away
then adhere all the layers to the box lid using 3D foam tape and clear drying
glue.
Make the flowers and leaves by using both the
large and small stamp and die sets. Use the library green ink for the stamping.
The flowers are coloured with the yellow ink and the leaves with the green
inks. In total there are 13 leaves, 2
large flowers, 4 med sized flowers and 3 small sized flowers. Bring shape to
the leaves and flowers by using the matching molds and the deluxe flower
shaping kit. The flowers have two layers. The flower centres are made by
pricking a hole in the centres by using the sharp end of the golf tools. Cut
the stamens in half and thread through the hole then secure the stamen ends
using the hot glue gun. Apply clear drying glue to the leaf ends and the flower
petals then dip then into the glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry tap away any
lose excess glitter. Trim away the stamen tails behind the flower ready to glue
down to the box front. Arrange the cluster of flowers and leaves, adhere in
place with the hot glue gun or clear drying glue. To finish the project, make a
triple bow from the organza ribbon and adhere to the left side of the box using
the hot glue gun.
