Good Morning Everyone
Happy Thursday! I hope you are all having a great week so far! It's been hard getting back into our normal routine after a 2 week holiday - but it's nearly the weekend, so that's all good!
Today I'm taking part in our little 3D Thursday Mini Hop with Donna & Karen.
I sat and created this lovely lidded gift box and decorated it with the Hues of Happiness DSP. This box measure 4" x 3 1/4" x 1 1/2", so it is a great size to fit all sorts of goodies in, It would also fit some 3x3" note cards and envelopes - which would make a lovely gift.
Measurements
Orchid Oasis Card Stock
Box
1pc - 10 1/2"x 5 1/2"
Lid

scrap for the sentiment
Hues of Happiness DSP
Box
2pc - 3 7/8" x 3 1/8"
2pc - 3 7/8" x 1 3/8"
Lid
2pc - 1 3/8" x 1 3/8"
3pc - 1 3/8" x 3 1/8"
----------------------------------
Take the piece of card stock for the Box and score as follows:-
Long Side - 1", 4 1/4", 5 3/4" & 9"
Short Side - 4"
Fold and Burnish all the score lines well with a bone folder. Then take your snips and cut up all the score lines along the bottom, notching into the square sections to create Tabs. Also remove the very Thinner rectangle in the lower left completely and notch in to that 1" wide rectangle to the left.
Add the DSP for the Box. I cut my DSP to the Box so that the design continued through the panels. If you want to do this too - first cut the height of DSP to 3 7/8", then cut a small piece, large piece, small piece and finally another larger. This will get you that follow round of the design.
Add Tear and Tab to the thin tab (the only tall section without DSP and the fold round and adhere to the back of the opposite end. Now fold in the sides, back and front adhering down each stage to create the box base.
For the Lid, take the Card Stock and score at 1 1/2" on all four sides, placing the card ever so slightly away from being flush to your simple scored on the left. This will help give the box lid a better fit.
Fold and burnish all the score lines and then cut into all the square sections on the corners to create tabs.
Add the DSP pieces to the card to like so...
Pop some tear and tab on these tabs and bring then in to create the lid. Put the lid onto the top of the box. You need to make sure that you have glue down your DSP well on the box and right to the corners so that it doesnt catch when taking the lid on and off.
Finally stamp the Friend from Happiness Abounds and add the For you just above from simply fabulous both in Orchid Oasis ink onto Orchid Oasis card. Trim down and slight angle the edges, just to give a little extra interest.
