I made this cute little box like the one I saw
here. It was super easy! How-to here, but if you want a photo tutorial, please visit previously mentioned link.
It uses one sheet of 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. Cut to 8″ x 5 1/2″.
Scoring along the longer side, score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 4 1/2″ & 7″.
Then turn and score each end at 1″. Fold score lines and cut each tab
along the longer side. Fold to make a “hinged” box. (Enlarge each
photo by clicking on them. Sorry for the poor photo on the side view,
but I wanted to just get this out).
Using the Top Note Bigz Die, run your leftover piece of card stock
folded in half like you would a regular sized card, through the Big Shot
- only make sure the folded side is just below the perforated marks so
it doesn’t cut all the way through. Then cut in half for 2 sides - top
& bottom.
Decorate the top as desired. Using the Crop-a-dile, place eyelets on
each end of the outside of the Top Note in the center. On the backside
of each of the halves, adhere ribbon using sticky strip and run ribbon
through eyelet to tie. Adhere top and bottom of the box with sticky
strip.
I distressed
a scrap piece of the Ghostly Greetings, added some Chills &
Thrills rub-ons, and a tag I had made from the Eat, Drink, & Be
Scary stamp set from the Holiday Mini.
I hope you enjoyed it and try making one for yourself! Thanks for stopping by!
