Thanks a Million Splash of Sparkles 2x2x2" Cube Gift Box

 Good Afternoon Everyone

Last week I took part in the Crafty Collaborations Product Insta Hop and made these cute little 2" cube gift boxes - I've been asked a few times to share a tutorial - so here it is! 

I used the exact same piece of DSP on both boxes - put used Highland Heather & Pretty in Pink as the bases - both these colours appear in that piece of Splash of Sparkles DSP, but by using a different base colour - it gives a different effect. What do you think?

Measurements - I'll just give measurements for the Highland Heather box as both are identical except for colour

Highland Heather Card Stock

1pc - 8 1/2" x 6 1/2"

1pc - scrap

Splash of Sparkles DSP 

5pc - 1 7/8" x 1 7/8"

------------------------------------

Take your piece of Highland Heather Card stock and score as Follows:-

Long Side - 2", 4", 6" & 8"

Short Side - 2", 4" & 6"

Fold and burnish all the score lines, the take you snips and cut away to create a shape like this...

Take the 5 pieces of  and adhere these pieces to the Highland Heather card stock, four pieces running along the centre and one on the top - this one on the top create your lid, so if you are using directional stamps or DSP, it will need to be stuck upside down as you look at the flat card - this way once built it will be the right way round

Add tear and tape to the thin rectangular tab on the left and fold round. Then at the bottom fold in the sides, back and then adhere down the front to create your base. Fold your lid over and tuck in to close. The mitered edges on the tab will help it close smoothly.

Finally, on a scrap of Highland Heather card stock stamp the sentiment in Highland Heather ink and then cut out using the Three Banner Punch. Add this to the lid of the box with mini dimensionals
