Welcome to our February NEW AT SU! Blog Hop! We love to share creative ideas from Stampin' Up!®️ with you. Today we have projects featuring the products from the January to April Mini catalogue, but the theme is Make It Mini! Anything smaller than a standard card is what you will find today in our Blog Hop. You're going to love this one!
- I started with a cardstock base in Lost Lagoon. I wanted the box to be 3" x 4" x 1 1/2", so using the formula on the previous video, I calculated the length to be 1 1/2" + 4" + 1 1/2" = 7" and the width to be 1 1/2" + 3" + 1 1/2" = 6". Before scoring on all 4 sides at 1 1/2", I cut a sliver off the length and width to help the lid fit on better. I cut and assembled it as in the video.
- I used a piece of the Storybook Moments DSP to make the cover. I wanted the lid to be only 1" deep so that you would be able to see some of the cardstock beneath it. Using the formula, the lid was calculated to be cut at 1" + 4" + 1" = 6" and the width was calculated at 1" + 3" + 1" = 5". It was scored 1" from the edge all the way around, then folded and cut as in the video.
- For the top decor, I die cut the Calypso Coral frame using the Storybook Friends dies and glued that to the top center of the box.
- I stamped the stone fence image from the Storybook Friends stamp set and coloured it with Pebbled Path and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Markers as well as some Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate.
- I die cut this using the samek frame die, centering the frame over the middle of the fence and used the middle oval to glue into the middle of the Calypso Coral frame.
- I stamped the female rabbit image on Basic White cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it in with Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake and Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends Combo markers.
- This image was die cut and added to the top of the box using Stampin' Dimensionals.
