Gift Box in a Card

 I have the pleasure of joining in with the Pootles Team on the Spring/Summer Catalogue Blog Hop.

This is the great opportunity of showing you lots of projects all using the new items.

  

I have chosen the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper for the box and layered section. This paper just might be my favourite so far.

I used two stamp sets. I wanted to use the lovely heart stamp set Heart Happiness and I chose a sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday which fitted just nicely.

 

The Card was Powder Pink and measured 5 7/8 inch  by 8 1/4 inch

A piece of the card 2 inches by 2 inches was cut away for the box.

The box is 6 x 6 and scored at 2 inches at all sides.

The lid is 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 scored at 1/2 inch on all sides and it was layered with Rich Razzleberry.

 The Embelishment was from Petal Passion Embellishments. 

I hope you liked my project and all of those from the Team.

Instructions for Christmas Advent

Hi everyone
As promised this is the instructions for this lovely Advent tree I made again this year

 

Cherry cobbler card stock  5, 5/8  x 7 1/2  you need 25 of these

Designer Series Paper 1. 1/2  x 1. 1/2  you need 4 of these per box and 5 for the top box 

Score the long side at 1/2 , 2. 1/4 , 4,  5 3/4  

turn and score 3/8 , 2. 1/8,  3. 7/8.

Cut using the template below. keeping the full section removed for the circle behind the date.

 

I didn't wedge the cuts because it can very easily be over trimmed. Instead I did it as I was putting the box together, this way it wasnt going to drop open. 

 

 I used a half inch circle punch for the notch at the top. 

I lined up 9 boxes and stuck some ribbon on the back to secure them together using tear and tape, I used just tape last year and they all came apart. 

These can now be joined together to make your circle. 

9 on the bottom row

7 on the second

5 on the third and Christmas day on top. 

I glued these together using a hot glue gun to make it more secure. 

It was then mounted on a covered circle of card with matching cardstock.

The numbers were cut from a heart from the sweet and sassy framelits and backed onto a die from the layering circle framelits but the size these will depend on your numbers.

I hope these instructions help and I would love to see your advent when you have done one.
