Good Morning Everyone
I haven't used the Batik Boutique stamp set for a while, so I dusted it off the shelf and had a little play. It's such a pretty stamp set, and you can do so much with it. I've used a selection of colour from the 2020-2022 In Colour Collection, which unfortunately will retire at the end of this current annual catalogue - I will really miss these as they have been a huge favourite of mine! I love that we get a rotation of colours, but I'm always sad to see most of them go!
I wanted to create something simple yet striking and I think this hit the mark, what do you think?
Measurements
Just Jade Card Stock
1pc - 6 3/4" x 7 1/2"
Basic White Card Stock
1pc - 1 5/8" x 1 5/8"
4pc - 1 5/8" x 2 5/8"
----------------------------------
Take the Just Jade Card Stock and using your Simply Scored, score the card stock as follows :-
Long Side - 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4" & 7"
Short Side - 1 3/4", 4 1/2", 6 1/4" & 7"
Fold and burnish all your score lines well, then taking your snips cut away at your card stock.
Holding the card horizontally cut up all the score lines along the bottom and remove the rectangle on the lower right. Move to the top of the card stock and remove the two skinny sections on the right hand side - leaving a thin tab - notch in to each end slightly.
From the top cut down all the vertical score lines to the second horizontal. Remove the first,second and third skinny rectangles starting from the left. Notch into the first and third square, cutting off a small amount on its length.
On the second section and remove the square and the skinny rectangle completely - as this will create the front.
Finally Round the corners of the remaining skinny rectangle from the first row.
You should have a shape like this...
Ink up the outline flower image in Misty Moonlight ink and stamp one flower on each of the rectangular basic white pieces. Add the leaf infill with just jade, and the flower head detail with Magenta Madness.
Stamp the sentiment from Garden Birdhouses into the centre of the remaining piece of basic white and add some of the flower images onto opposite corners, only adding a partial head, just to break up that white background..
Add the stamped pieces to the Just Jade card stock, making sure the sentiment square is upside down as you look at it flat. When the box is built, this will form the lid.
Like this...
Place some tear and tape onto the thin tab on the right, then fold around to create the sides. Then fold in the sides, back and then adhere down the front pieces and the bottom to create your base. Fold over the lid, and tuck it behind the front panel to keep closed.
