Another Beautiful Box

Good thing I have lots of friends to find these fabulous ideas for me!   My friend, Nina did this little box that's perfect for a small gift or candy or cookies or anything else you can think of!

I used more of that fabulous velvety glimmer paper from a Reflections Cardstock Stack.
The rosette was made using the Sizzix Die and I used a small scalloped punch and a crystal clear snowflake for the embellishment.  I made the rosette a little bigger than I had planned, so you really can't see very well the pretty scalloped border under it...

 

Here's a view from the front.

And a close-up of the rosette.

This one takes one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of CS too.

Scored at 2"  5"  7"  and 10"  on the long side

Scored at 2" and 7" on the short side.

Trim off all but one of the 2" sections from the top 

(that's your flap)

Cut in to form the box - add tape to the side

then squeeze in little dents on each side and fold the flap over.

It's called the 2-5-7-10 Box and you can google it and get better instructions.

Hugs!

Collapsible Box

How cool is this box!!! My friend, Ann found the pattern for a really easy box that goes together fast and can collapse to store! Perfect size for gift card or small gift. You can get two of them out of one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of CS.

For decoration, I used a piece of Super Adhesive Sheet from Sparkle N Sprinkle, placed it on white CS, then used a Spellbinder Die to cut it out.  The CS I used was a little too heavy and it didn't cut out all the beautiful little pieces - so I went with it!  It made it all raised up at least - so I covered it with SNS's Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter and then cut a plan one out of white CS to layer on top.  Finished it off with a velvet brad that I had laying around and some skinny ric-rac from May Arts and VOILA!

 

Here's the box semi-flattened.  

It's only taped together on the sides - the ric-rac holds the bottom and top together!

Here's a close-up.

Want to try it???  Here are the measurements.

For one box:

one 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of CS

Score with the 8 1/2" side on the left at 1" and 4 1/2"

Turn and score at 1"  -  4"  -  5"  and 8"

Clip the two corner sections off the "short" side

Cut down from the 5 1/2" side to the score lines to create your box.

Tape only the side flap.

Use a craft knife and cut a slit a little wider than the ribbon you'll use 

in the center of each of the front and back panels - top and bottom

Thread the ribbon thru and you're done!
