Stampin with Shirley G

I have made another gift box to share with you today.  This one is embossed using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder and a die from the Basic Border Dies.  You can see my other box here.

I am entering The Paper Funday Challenges for this creation.

Start with a 8-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock.  Score along the 8-1/4″ side at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way.  Score along the 11″ side at 2-1/2″ and 3-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way.  You can see in the diagram how far to cut the score lines.  Cut a little piece out of each flap, and angle it so it will look like a wedge.  This is your card base. Using a die from Basic Borders Dies crop the top of the piece as shown in the diagram above.  I used a different die than the one shown in the above photo.  You can see the die I used in the photo below.

I cut two pieces of Sweet Sorbet card stock cropping one using a die from Basic Border Dies.  I then embossed both pieces using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder.  Adhere the piece that has been cropped to the top of the flap as you see in the photo above.  Adhere the other piece to the bottom portion of the box.  These pieces are adhered while the box is still flat.  Adhere three Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls.

I cut a piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper cropping using a die from Basic Border Dies and stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set. I adhered this piece to the inside of the flap as shown in the above photo.  Cut a strip of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper for the belly band.  Stamp a flower from Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Blushing Bride ink. Stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce ink.  Adhere the flower and leaves to a Basic White circle cropped using Layering Circle Dies, then pop the circle on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped a greeting using Sweet Sorbet ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cutting and adhering to a scrap of Sweet Sorbet card stock.  The greeting is popped on the circle using Glue Dots.

Cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock 4-1/4″ x 6″.  On the 4-1/4″ side score down both sides at 3/4″, fold and score.  This is your tray for your pieces of candy.  Run a strip of Stampin’ Seal down both sides of the tray near the score line. This tape is to lay your candy pieces on so they will stay secure in the tray.  The strip shown in the photo is to wrap around each piece of candy.

Once you have all your candy piece wrapped and in the tray, you can slide the tray into the box as shown above.  You can also slide the belly band over the box being careful so the edge of the box doesn’t become frayed.

This is how the box looks once the belly band is in place.
