 Hey stampers, welcome to another week of watch weekly Wednesday I'm Aubrey part of the stamp and Jill creative team and today I'm excited to share with you a project that I've been working on I have been playing with the idea of Making a card box for a couple of weeks and it has been really fun. I've created this one. I Always need a place to hold my cards and I decided I needed a new one So I came up with this idea. So it has a little class here that you can open and On the inside, I have different dividers and they all have different occasions on them and then you can just file your cards right inside and Have a place for your cards. I wanted to show you how to Put this box together how to make it from start to finish so you can create one, too So Let's get started You are going to need for this project one piece of Designer series paper backing. So this is just the back sheet of One of our packages of designer series paper if you don't have designer series paper from Stampin up any harder card board backing of a Paper pack will work just something that's going to strengthen the sides of our box. Okay, so this is a 12 by 12 sheet You're also going to need a regular 8 1⁄2 by 11 piece of card stock Another piece of card stock. This one is cut to 10 by 7 1⁄2. So just an inch off either side And then you're going to need some designer series paper Or pattern paper. So I have two pieces of 12 inch by 5 inch designer series paper of the same Pattern so these are going to be what are the sides of our box are made up? So you want the same pattern for those and then we have our box top this is the top of the box is a piece of designer series paper and this is six and seven eighths by four and three eighths and Then you'll also need Pieces for the sides of your box if you choose to put them on The long piece for the front is six and three quarters by one and an eighth and then the two sides are Four and a quarter by one and an eighth and I'll show you as we go where all of these are going to go on your box Okay, we're going to start by scoring our papers, so we're going to start with our card stock. So you're going to grab your stamp and trimmer and we're going to use our scoring blade our Piece of card stock that's eight and a half by eleven. We're going to score Two inches in from every side so Just stick that in And score at two inches turn score turn score and turn And score so two inches on each side. Okay On our smaller piece of card stock that is cut to seven and a half by ten inch piece of card stock We're going to score this one at one and seven sixteenths I know that sounds like a silly number But if you do one and a half it will be just too small to be on the top of your box So if you do one and seven sixteenths, it will fit over the top of your box and be a perfect blade size So we're going to score that Right at this line Right before the one and a half that's one and seven sixteenths And score each of the sides just like we did on the base piece and then We're going to score These two pieces the exact same We're going to score at a half inch Oh Don't push too hard and the same thing on both sides on both pieces half inch And this designer series paper is from the hues of happiness designer series paper pack And it's in the hues of happiness suite in the annual catalog Super cute paper Okay, so now that our scoring is all done. We're going to Start to put our box together So our biggest piece the eight and a half by eleven full piece That we scored at two inches from each side We're going to use Our paper snaps and we're just going to cut in from each Just those two score lines on each of these sides So the short sides Cut in Okay And then we're going to fold This is going to be The bottom or the base Of our box We're going to use tarrin tape. I like tarrin tape for projects like this. It holds Holds things really well and tight and we're going to put a piece here And here on each of our edges Just like that. Okay, and then You just peel that back and hear it together Okay, just like that. So this is your base Okay, next we're going to build up the sides of our Box So i'm just going to fold along my score lines here And I like To hide both of these smaller pieces So I put those on first I'm going to put one piece Of tarrin tape right on this edge of the box my designer series paper And just adhere that Right like that And then I'm going to leave this flap open and I'm going to do the same thing Right here on this edge I'm going to adhere this other piece down And then those two pieces are just going to wrap around the box And they'll cover each of those smaller pieces So for that I put The long piece of tarrin tape here wrap it around that down Do your other side Just wrap it around your box just like that Okay So next we're going to Add our top piece. We're going to fold all our sides And then just like on our our base piece. We're going to cut in On each of them But we are going to do something a little bit differently So that we can make this open Like a top flap of our box Okay, so we're going to say this is the back of our box Or this this part right here, which we adhere down to the back The rest of it opens Just like this, okay So we're going to completely Take off these two square pieces On the back of our box. We don't need those two pieces But on the front of our box, we're still going to adhere here and here So I'm going to use tarrin tape again Okay, and then we're just going to fold those up just like on our base And adhere that Okay, so that makes the top of our box. So if I bring back in our box This we're just going to adhere right to the back just like that And then it'll fold right over the top and make our Box top. So I'm again just going to use tarrin tape. Like I said, I really like tarrin tape for these 3d kind of projects It holds really well You hear that Right on the back you have your box Now because designer series paper is meant to be a little bit thinner Then cardstock these sides are just a little bit too flimsy for me So I like to strengthen them. That's why I have this extra back piece of my designer series paper If you don't feel like you need to do that you can skip this step But I wanted to give you the measurements for this piece so If you cut this a certain way you can get all of the pieces to strengthen your box out of one piece of 12 by 12 backing or But heavier cardstock. So we're going to first start by cutting this in half at six inches And then we're going to take one of the six inch pieces and we're going to cut two four and a half pieces so two four and a half by six inch pieces Okay And then With our next piece We're going to cut one four inch piece. So you'll have a six by four inch piece And then we're going to cut down this side. We're going to cut this to four and a half and then cut this To two four inch pieces So these two pieces are four and a half here by four inches Okay, or this way So those are the ones we need to strengthen our box And I'll show you how I put those in I'm just going to use my stamp and seal plus on this And I'm just going to Put these just right On the sides and the bottom of my box Just to give a little bit more Integrity to those sides Okay, this one For the bottom Now you could also use another piece of cardstock to do this if you don't have um This backing I just like this because it's another way to reuse that And I always end up having them So then we're going to decorate the top of our box now You can see I added a lot of embellishment up here These these flowers cut out of this paper so beautifully. It's so much fun So if you get this hues of happiness paper, you'll definitely want to get the die cuts that coordinate with it. They're super cute But you'll also want to put some designer series paper on the top and on the sides So let me just show you these were the other pieces that we cut To decorate our box. So this is the top piece We're just going to adhere that down Right on the top And then we have our front flap piece our two side pieces just like that You have A fun box that you can put All of your cards in That you make to give All of your people So cute So fun I have loved playing With this hues of happiness bundle And making up some fun cards To give all the people So on the dividers for these I just used regular card stock I cut them to six and seven eights by four and three quarters And then I added a little tab up here. You could use a punch to do that I just used another little piece of card stock and folded it over And just adhered it I just stamped from the happiness abounds stamp set that goes Coordinates with this Sweet I just stamped all the different sayings here Because I really loved the ones that were in this set. Many thanks. Congratulations Happy birthday best wishes friend happiness. I thought those were great Sections to make for my dividers and then I just cut them out and put them right on the tops up there So you can do that with this set or you can choose a different set that you love To do that way. I also have made a few other boxes Out of some of the different sweets Um Just to show different ideas. Not everybody loves flowery stuff So here's one. I loved this. You're stronger than you know This is made from the he's the man sweet of products You could give it to a man in your life. Maybe that loves to Stamp and do cards or I think it's super cute for a girl too because All girls are stronger than they know Super cute. You're stronger than you know I like it I also did a much more simpler idea here. This just says sending on the top But I thought that was kind of cute We're always sending cards and this is just done with our black and white designer series paper Very cute and simple And I love that too So if you have any questions about this make sure to drop them in the comments below and we'd be happy to answer that We also are going to do a blog post showing how to make this box So if you need to go and check out those measurements and have a little bit more detail there Make sure to visit stamping jill.com and if you don't make sure to go and follow us on instagram at stamping jill Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next week for another watch week Wednesday
