fresh & fun

I made this box a little while ago for Julia Salva’s downline meeting. I wish I could have gone, but it was last weekend and I didn’t feel up to flying again after just coming back from a trip. Plus I didn’t know if Rick wouldn’t have to work. With his new job it’s hard to plan anything that I don’t take my kids with.

One Sheet box Supplies: ·       

•  One piece of 8 ½” x 9” Certainly Celery cardstock
•  One 3 ½” square of So Saffron cardstock, scored at 2”
•  One ½” x 3 scrap piece of So Saffron cardstock
• Dimensional 
• Glue dots 
• Mono adhesive 
•  Bone Folder 
• Paper piercing tools 
• ¾” circle punch 
•  Aqua painter 
• Black doodle marker (I used Black Micron pen 08) 
•   Stamp sets: Pick a Petal, Hugs & Wishes and See you around Jumbo wheel, Three for you Punch box 
• INKS:  Purely Pomegranate, Black Stazon, Certainly Celery jumbo wheel cartridge and Certainly Celery Marker

 Instructions · 

•  Wheel your Certainly Celery cardstock with the Jumbo wheel. 
• Score the 9” side of the cardstock at 3 ½” and 5 ½” 
• Score the 8 ½” side of cardstock at 2 ½” and 6”. 
• Fold each score both ways with your bone folder. 
• Flip cardstock around so the unwheeled side is facing up. 
• Put your finger next to the intersection of the scores. Now line up the short horizontal score up with the longer vertical one. 

Repeat on all four corners. 

•  Flip over again. Stamp the triple flower from the flower punch box in Certainly Celery on the bottom of all four sides.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Take your So Saffron 3 ½” So Saffron square, stamp the paisley Petal over the score line with Purely Pomegranate to make a flower. The 2” piece will be your front. Make sure you have over half of a petal right next to the score line on each end. 
• Cut around the petals in the front. 
• Take scrap piece of So Saffron and stamp the scalloped circle center twice in Pomegranate. Color both with aqua painter and Purely Pomegranate. 
•  Punch one of the flower centers out with the ¾” circle punch. That will be the center of your Petal flower. Adhere it with glue dots.
• Tape the uncut side of your flap with mono one of the box sides. That will be the back of your box. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Cut your second scallop circle center out with scissors. Add a dimensional on the back of it. 
• Fold your box and fold the flap over. Tape your scallop circle overlapping the Petals a bit. That will keep your box shut.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Unfold again. Paper pierce your cardstock under the scallop circle to create a flower stem. Add Black marker faux stitching and free hand two leaves. Color those leaves in with Celery Marker. 
• Stamp Birthday Hugs and wishes next to the flower.  Fold your box up again and you are done!
