Red White & Blue week concludes today and I'm excited to share with you a fun and easy to create box using a fun new element.
Yesterday a Petite Purse was created with the Red White & Blue theme and since I gained confidence working with the fun new element, metal sheets, I thought I would carry it over to this Easy to create box.
The box is a nice size and can hold a variety of items:
- Cookies (line the box with wax paper before you put in the cookies).
- Note Cards
- Jewelry (line with foam)
- Photos
- Small Gifts
To create this Red White & Blue box you will want to cut your card stock like this:
Night of Navy – 6 x 6 scored at 1 inch all four sides
What's really cool is you can take your Night of Navy card stock and place the Modern Mosaic (Item #129984) Textured Embossing Folder and it will fit between the score lines, run through your Big Shot for a textured top! Very Fun!
Whisper White – 8 x 8 scored at 2 inch all four sides
Then you will want to cut on snip with our scissors up to the scored line on two sides and fold in to create the box top and bottom. (See Diagram – the red line indicates where your paper snip will be)
Once cut simply fold inward to create your box, use Sticky Strip to hold in place. .
Some of the flowers that were cut from metal on yesterdays project were used on this project. Just run them through the square lattice embossing folder (Item#11997) and the fancy fan embossing folder (Item#127751).
Then I layered them and adhered them to the box and each other using sticky strip. I used the new 11/16" Regals Buttons (Item#130029) and adhered that with sticky strip as well. I then layered a Large Pearl Basic Jewel (Item# 119247) to the middle of the button.
