For this month's Blog Hop the new Creative Team is working with a Winter theme and you are going to love the projects!
For this project, I used Samantha's Big Tent Snow Lace Box Silhouette file
and Samantha's Ooh La La French Frills. I just love all the detail in this cut and as always, the box just goes together so well!
I created an offset cut from the center design for the card.
Here is a quick tutorial:
1. Click on the Big Tent Snow Lace Box Silhouette file and then right-click and select "ungroup".
2. Highlight one of the inner areas and then right-click and choose "Copy".
3. Right-click on the page and then choose "Paste".
4. Your page should look like this now.
5. Draw a box around the original cut file to select all the pieces then right-click and choose "Group".
6. Highlight the image you pasted then click on the Offset icon at the top of the screen. Change the offset distance to 0.200 then click Apply.
Now you are ready to cut the file. I placed a 4x4 piece of patterned paper from the Paris Girl collection in the bottom left corner of my mat for the detailed cut and left all my other paper in a silver-toned cardstock.
To assemble the box:
1. Fold on all of the score marks. The top angle folds will fold up as shown.
2. Place the tab piece into the corresponding slot on the side.
3. For the bottom, push down one side with the slot.
4. Then push down the other slotted side.
5. Press the tab bottom piece into the slot as shown.
6. Finish the bottom by placing the last tabbed piece into the slotted area.
7. For my box, I am adhering the top folds with a 1/4" strip of adhesive tape.
With these boxes, you can also leave these pieces open if you wish.
8. Remove the adhesive back from the tape and then press the other angle
pieces together to adhere.
9. Stuff your box with your goodies (or even a battery operated tealight!).
10. Shut the box and embellish as desired!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
