Posted on December 21, 2024December 20, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop I am sharing the season of elegance treat boxes I made for the ladies at my book club Christmas dinner. The evening is such fun, we all bring part of the meal, and I also like to bring a little table gift for each person. This box was not my original idea, but I cannot now find the designer – if it was you, please leave me a comment and ‘thank you’.

Colours in this box are:

Basic White

Pretty Peacock

Gold Foil

To recreate the season of elegance box, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 6⅞” by 4⅛”
Season of Elegance dsp – 1⅛” by 1⅛” x 3
White Glimmer paper

Using my Paper Trimmer I scored the Thick Basic White card on the long side at 1⅜” by 2¾”, 4⅛” and 5½” and on the short side at 1⅜” by 4⅛”.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I formed the base of the box followed by the box top.

Two of the Season of Elegance designer Series Paper square were glued to the box. One on the top of the lid and the other on the front of the lid. The remaining square was cut in half on the diagonal and the pieces were glued to the triangular sides of the lid.

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

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

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.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Taking a ruler and the Take Your Pick Scoring Attachment I scored from the bottom of the 2” scoreline to the right-hand corner of the rectangle and then again to the left-hand corner. I repeated this from the bottom of the 6” scoreline to both other corners.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

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.

Using a pencil, I marked one side of the 3¾” square of Reindeer Days dsp at 1⅞”. 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.
