Easter Box Card

For Card Base:

You need one (1) sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock* to end up with two (2) pieces to make your card box. *Note: heavy cardstock (90-110 lbs) works best.

1.  Take 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, cut two pieces: 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" and 2" x 11"
2.  Take the 2" x 11" and cut 2" off the length to end up with 2" x 9". Save for later use to   make tabs for scene building.
3.  Place 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" paper piece on Scor-Pal. Score at 3 1/2", 5", 8 1/2", 10"

1.  Rotate paper clockwise (to the right) and score at 3 1/2" 

1.  Take scored 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" sheet and using the cutter, cut all the 4 vertical top 3"       score lines to the horizontal 3 1/2" score line. With scissors, cut bottom right bottom   tab at 45-degree angle which will result in the removal of part of the 1/2 tab section (top 3" and bottom 45-degree angle piece).

1.  Using the bottom edge of the card base as a leveling guide, fold card over in half   from right to left to bottom vertical score line and crease with bone folder. Fold card   again each time to crease remaining bottom three (3) scored lines using the card   base bottom as a guide. NOTE: Using card base bottom will ensure box card will be   squared/straight.  
2. Flip the card over and fold over at the same time the top 3" tabs from the left to right side. Ensure they are evenly folded down then crease with bone folder. NOTE: DO NOT FOLD DOWN the far right top 3" tab. The box is now ready to have layered panels placed on tabs.

 

1. The 2" x 9" paper piece is used to make eight (8) strips to help with scene building.

To make the strips:

   a. Score at: 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5", 8 1/2"

   b. Take 2" x 9" strip and cut in four (4) 1/2" x 9" strips

   c. Cut in half each strip at 4 1/2" score line. You will now have 8 strips.

   d. With bone folder, crease both scored lines on each strip.

Flip top mini Valentine's Day treat box

    Cute Valentine's Day Mini Treat Box

 

 

I was inspired by a fellow demonstrator, Elvira Horfners's design to create these cute mini Valentine's Day treat boxes for my daughter to give to her teachers, school bus driver, and some of her dearest friends at school.



These boxes can hold three mini size chocolate bars. I used the nestle crunch mini bars of which was a perfect fit.

MsPuff Creative Tips:

Start with Real Red card stock measuring 10cm by 26cm. On the 26cm side start scoring at 8cm, 9cm, 17cm and lastly 18cm. Next turn your card to the 10cm side and score at 1cm then at 9cm.

Use your bone folder and fold along the dotted lines. Cut on the solid lines. Cut little slits along the 1 cm markings.

Cut a 2- 3/4in by 2-3/4 designer paper for your window sheet. I used "sending love" which is discontinued but you can use painted with love designer paper instead or choose from any of our other designer paper selections.

Adhere your window sheet to the section of the card without the side flaps using your multipurpose glue. Next use your Everyday label and Pretty Label to create the openings. Then apply your double sided tape only to the middle portion of your box. Now just assemble your box together.

The 1cm flaps is taped to the inside of your box. Then bring the bottom third of your box up and make sure those flaps are taped on the outside of your box.

Cut out a heart or butterfly using your Big Shot to create the closure for this box and apply some bling the rhinestones.

This box can be created for any occasions like baby showers or birthdays. Be creative and put your spin on it.  With every $50 spent you can choose a free gift from our Sale-A-Bration catalog. Thanks for stopping by.
