 Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. This is a larger version of the Sweet Rapper gift box that I shared earlier. As soon as I made that one with the 6x6 papers I knew I wanted to make one with 12x12. I wanted it bigger and I wanted to use these wonderful papers and it was a perfect gift for my Nan who I'm going to see next week. So here it is closer. This is using one sheet of 12x12, gives you a really nice sized box in the middle. I've decorated it all with this lovely Duff Crafts Nature's Grace paper pack and all the matching bits and pieces with it and then just finished it off with this lovely velvet ribbon. Really straightforward to make just the same as the 6x6 just different measurements. So let's crack on and make it. Okay so you're going to need to make this larger Sweet Rapper box. So I shared this on my Facebook page a few days ago really but I was really excited to get my hands on this. So this is the Duff Craft Nature's Grace paper pack 12x12. You can see all of the prints here and I'll share all the links below to where I purchased it. So I've just taken some bits from that and I also these are matching stamps that go with the set so I picked those up. These are little rosettes that match as well. I usually make my own rosettes but I did really like these ones. You get that 10 or something like that in the pack. Again I'll share all the links. This is some ribbon that I already had. I picked up these doilies because I want to use them. There's like a background on the decoration on the top and then I've got my letters already done. I'm going to show you how I distressed those. Get rid of all these bits. Okay so this is the paper I've chosen from the pack today. So first of all what you want to do is score. So bear in mind so the two score lines that I'm doing here are the sides of the Sweetie Rapper. So the way we do those cut those triangle shapes. So bear that in mind with your print. So what these two score lines I'm about to do you want to make sure that your pattern is facing the right way up. Okay so first of all we're going to score. Let's just see where I've done these. So three and a half all the way down and then eight and a half all the way down. Okay then rotate the card onto the other side and you want to score at one and seven eighths of an inch. Okay then you want to score at four and no sorry five and seven eighths of an inch. Then at seven and three quarters and then at eleven and three quarters. You should have a little quarter inch tab on the right hand side. So again I'll just go through that again so it was one and seven eighths of an inch and then it was five and seven eighths of an inch. Seven and three quarters of an inch and eleven and three quarters of an inch. Sorry it's a really busy print so I'm just trying to make sure that I'm getting them all correct but that's right and I'll again put all these measurements I'll write them all down in my blog so it's probably best to follow that as well. Okay so that's all the scoring done so I'm going to want to burnish those score lines that we've just made. So just carefully again this is just a good quality paper so you don't need to really worry about using your bone tool sometimes with the papers you might end up burnishing too much and then they end up ripping or really weakening that score line. Okay so that's all of the score lines burnished. Now flip it over okay and ignore this faint line that you'll see here that's where I was practicing and I put it in wrong but I've rubbed them out and you can't see them on the other side is only this side that you can. So what we want to do now is probably best if we cut first and then I'll go through the other bit. For those of you that watch the smaller two box that I made of this you'll probably just whiz through it now because you'll know what I'm going to do but I've got the tab here on the left hand side I'm just cutting up that very thin piece there and then just cutting it at an angle just to create a little tab there and just remove that completely okay. Do the same with this other end of it so just turn it around and again just cut neatly I'm actually cutting to the left of the score line so I'm removing that kind of lumpy bit just so you don't see it and again just cutting that on an angle. Okay so just created a little tab there so with the tab there now on the right hand side you've got your little rectangle a big square rectangle and another big square you just want to cut up each of those score lines just up to the first score line and again I'm just removing that lumpy bit of that score line that we created and what that will also mean is you just don't get any overhang I mean we're going to be cutting a chunk of this out anyway so you won't really see most of it and again just cut down and I'm just again removing this last one and then you just want to do the same on the top here just cut down each of those score lines okay so that's what you should have so I've got the tab on the left hand side all of these cut down to this middle bit and again on the bottom here okay so now on these big squares that we've got on the outside you just want to do a very light pencil mark just from corner you may not want to do this if you if you know what you're doing and you know where to kind of roughly cut if you can eyeball it all then you don't need to worry about this but I just find this just helps me kind of get it in it's you know similar place as to the opposite ones and obviously these ones when they sit on top of each other so again just do a cross on all four of those big squares okay so you can see now I've just drawn those crosses on those four big squares now all we need to do is use those as a guide and basically just starting from the outside of this one here okay and just see me in the bottom I'm just cutting up but then I'm going to start cutting away from the pencil mark until I get to the middle of the cross here and I want that to be where the scissors end okay so you can see there what I've cut I just bring that up so you can see I'm not following along the pencil line I'm actually coming away from it because if you follow the pencil line right to the middle and then do the same on that side you end up cutting the whole thing out so as I mentioned in my previous tutorial it's kind of like a cracker you just want a small amount to kind of join it in the middle enough to tie the ribbon around so again from the bottom here I'm just going to come up and exactly how I've done the other one coming away from that pencil mark until I join like so okay don't worry if it's not exact the ribbon is going to cover it anyway so again fold all of those pieces down because you don't want to risk cutting anything off and then you can come in again back to me to fold the whole thing out like so again always make sure that you fold these pieces down otherwise you'll cut them from the other side and again just work your way up and then again down this side you can see I'm not taking too much time on it it's a quick project you just need to get that rough kind of style like so so again I'll show you one more time fold again all these pieces down and over like so just so I can get in and do this top first so you just come down like so on the side I'd say the main thing is you want to make sure you get a really sharp point on this topic because that's what you're going to see again come up here especially if you're using a busy print like I am you really won't notice any of this you know it being slightly um not exactly mirrored whereas I guess maybe if you're using a plain paper you might have to take a bit more time with this just because you maybe would see it more okay so that's what you should have on the bottom so you just need to repeat that now on these two here so that is now the pattern you should have so I've got the little tab here on the right hand side full strip there and then this kind of cracker looking there here and there it's not a cracker is it a sweet check that's what I've done so there you go I think it looks really good so now we can assemble it so as I mentioned at the beginning the other good thing about this which I didn't mention in the other tutorial is that it all folds flat so um as I'm going to be taking this to my nans it's perfect because I can just sandwich it between one of my folders and it will stay nice and flat so you just want to run your tape I'm using the red tape just because it's nice and strong just along that um little tab just uh kind of making sure you kind of stay close to the score line just so you get a really nice join make sure it's all nicely stuck down obviously at this point as well you might want to rub out these bits here I'm not too worried because once it's all closed you're not going to see it but just quickly go over and rub them out if you want to do that and then just bring this piece down here and just fold that over so you get a really nice join like so so now when you lift that up you've got that there you can't again this is such a busy print you can't see anything so now I would say that that would be my back so when I flip it over this is the side I'm going to decorate so you just then want to just fold these pieces in and what I would also say is fold the bottom one up first and then bring that one down and again the bottom one bring that one down again because then you don't see this bit here you just see that okay and then you just need to tie the ribbon around maybe actually rub out there because I'm just thinking you would see the pencil so I'll do that in a minute but there you have it you can already see this really really cute box so what you can do so it's easy to decorate it's just undo it and put it down flat so I know now that I've got this area to decorate I'm just going to push that to one side and show you the letters so I've die cut some letters here on yellow card and then I thought actually it's more of a mustard it's quite a deep yellow um yeah deep a deeper darker yellow so I have used some of these which unfortunately I don't think we can get here because I found these in a charity shop and they are these metallic rub on pigment waxes and they're brilliant I've used similar years ago um and I saw them they were two pound each and I thought I'm going to grab those they are from America Fairmont I believe that's American apologies if not um yeah MN is that Minnesota or somewhere like that maybe I could be completely wrong but I do try to keep up with all the American states and things like that and this it doesn't say a date on it anywhere and it says patent pending and there's not even a website address so yeah I actually can't give you very uh oh hang on oh no no nothing on that one either so if anybody knows or recognizes these if they're still going as a company or if they now have a company name and if the paint and was approved let me know ah actually it now says on these ones I've just noticed it says craft says craft and then it's got a dash and then tea products ink that's who it's manufactured by so there you go again I'll have a little look but I've used these so I have used the metallic here and then you've got luster and then you've got another metallic basically all you do so let me just grab I'll use a bit of tissue underneath just so I don't um there is a product to actually seal it um like a professional product but I just use hairspray and you don't even need to do that once you polish it off with a piece of tissue I find nothing comes off and all I've done is just rubbed a little bit on my finger and then you just rub it on and it just takes to it so quickly and you get such an intense um effect now I wanted it slightly um I guess mottled seemed to like that word so I didn't do like a completely full coverage on it um so I've kind of pulled really kind of stretched it there so it's not covering everything I'll bring it up to the camera and you'll see it better in a minute but it's a good way to color card quickly so there you go you don't get very much left on your finger it pretty much all comes off and you can just rub off any excess there and then with this tissue just buff it up so literally I'm just rubbing over it nothing comes off it just it is just like a wax just like a wax that you put on wood and stuff you're just using it exactly the same way so you're using your finger and now none of that's coming off but like I said you can just spray it with some hairspray if I just bring those up for you to see closer like so yeah there we go can you see there's like a shine to it they go it's really really nice it's quite subtle but you can see I haven't got done a full coverage because again this is quite a antique looking and I wanted it to have a bit of an age to kind of look about it so I've done my letters and then I've got this doilies and I'm also going to rub some of that gold on the edges just to distress it just take these out you get loads in here absolutely tons 40 I reckon there's even more than that okay so just take one of those out like so grab another bit of tissue and literally all I'm going to do so if the light keeps dipping in and out today the sun's not sure what it's doing so again I'm just going to put a bit on my finger and just grab the ends see there I'm almost like not dirty in the mud but because this is a dye cut you get that you see the print really really nicely and it just gives it a really pretty little something extra I just didn't want that crisp white because there's a lot of white obviously with the background there again not really you know thinking about it too much just rubbing it on and these are great to hide mistakes as well which is always a good thing and that lasts for ages you get it's a real intense thick wax so you do get a lot I'm just going to rub out any extras there just to kind of the letters are covering this but just to give it a bit more of a aged look there we go again you can rub it over but um it's it's like a quite a can't think of the word I'm trying to use but you don't get anything coming off that but again if I kind of hold that up can you see it's picking up little bits of shimmer it's lovely really nice okay that's that all done so what I want to do is do some kind of like nan across there and this is going to go on top and then I've got those why did I put those little rosettes these little rosettes they're going to decorate on top I might actually fold the doily as well and then I've got a little sentiment that I might put maybe no I might not put a sentiment I'm going to put a bird or something there so I'm just going to play around and dress this all up okay so there is my decoration all done I really like that so put the little bird above there I've actually cut the doilys down and kind of you know done a bit of a concertina fold and I've done it there put the little rosette and then I've also put some little sequins there as well I might put a few more up there I'm not sure okay so now you just need to tell you ribbon I've actually decided to change the ribbon I've gone for this really nice velvet it's almost like a mauve gray and it works really well with this one here so let's just see how much we're going to need okay so I've just done that one there it's about 16 inches of ribbon so again just fold the bottom one up first then that top one down and just do your bone and there you have it a gorgeous large sweetie wrapper gift box and I just think they're brilliant and this will fit a lot in the actual box size measures up at five by four so the box itself five by four that's a really roomy size so you can get lots of things in there I know exactly what I'm putting in this for my nan and I know she will love it so there you have it hope you've enjoyed this other tutorial to show you the larger version and please hit the like button if you did and subscribe to channel to see more thanks for watching
