Self-closing Box – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Christmas packaging ideas. I have made a self-closing box which I have filled with mini Lindor balls. I originally was inspired by this YouTube video from Linda Parker 

Colours in this project are:

 

To recreate the self-closing box, you will need:

Garden Green card – 8½” by 6”

With the long side at the top of the scoreboard and the ½” strip on the right I scored at 2” and 6” but only as far as the first scoreline. I repeated this on White cardstock to make it easier for you to see.

I cut away the small rectangles at either end of the ½” tab and cut up all of the remaining scorelines along the long sides. I folded and burnished on all the scorelines beginning with the diagonal scorelines. The cardstock was then folded on the 4” fold and glued to the ½” tab to close the box. At this point I also rounded the corners of the top, longer panels.

I used my Paper Trimmer to cut from the 1⅞” mark to the lower right corner and then the lower left corner giving three triangles. These were glued to the front of the self-closing box. The four tabs forming the bottom of the box were then glued together.

The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink in the upper left corner of the die cut stitched square. I wanted the words stacked rather than inline so masked and stamped one word at a time. The white square was then glued to the Real Red square. The whole piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

At this point I decided I didn’t like the Pumpkin Pie snow globe base………. So I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Petal Pink card and die cut it using the Snowy Wonder Dies I then glued the die cut piece over the dsp base. I loved that the die cut was slightly smaller leaving a small Pumpkin Pie border.
