I love making boxes and I love my envelope punch board - so today I've combined them again.
This little box measures only 5cm x 5cm x 0.8cm!
Here's how to make the it:
You'll need a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 10.4cm x 10.4cm.
Using your envelope punch board, on the first side punch and score at 4.6cm and then again at 5.8cm.
Turn to the remaining three sides in turn and, lining the previous score lines up with your score guide on your envelope punch board, punch and score again.
each side should be punched and scored twice once you've finished this stage.
Fold and burnish all score lines.
You'll see that you have four tiny squares in each corner - these need to be cut to make tabs for closing your box:
Add Tear & Tape to the bottom tabs only, as well as to each side of the bottom box flap and near the point of one of the side tabs and close box together.
Take care when sticking down the tiny tabs as they're very small!
Add your mini Ritter Sport and close remaining flap using a mini glue dot.
This side will be the back of your box.
Turn to the front and wrap a piece of Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon around your box, fastening at the front using a mini glue dot.
Using the 'trick or treat' stamp from the Cauldron Bubble stamp set on to Whisper White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and punch out using the 1" circle punch.
I used the tiny stars stamp in this set to stamp around the text - I stamped off twice before doing so.
Then cut a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the 1 and 1/8" scallop circle punch.
Stick your stamped sentiment to this using multi-purpose liquid glue.
Stick this to your ribbon, over the join, using Tear & Tape or other strong double-sided tape.
I then decorated mine with bats punched from the Toil and Trouble Designer Series Paper using the co-ordinating Spooky Bats Punch, stuck to the corners of the box using mini dimensionals.
For some added shimmer, I went over the bats with clear Wink of Stella.
It's an easy box and can be made in around 15 minutes.
Perfect as table favours or for treats at Halloween.
I hope you enjoyed this project and I look for ward to sharing another with you soon!
