Do you need a gift that you can quickly make? I have a tutorial for you today showing you how to make a quick notecard box. These are great for hostess gifts, or it’s not too early to start thinking about those teacher gifts that you will need in June!
Paper Dimensions:
Whisper White Cardstock 7-1/2″ x 5-1/2″; scored at 3-3/4″; scraps
Night of Navy Cardstock 6-1/2″ x 6-1/2″
Happiness Blooms DSP 8-1/2″ x 2-1/4″; scored at 2-1/4″, 2-1/2″, 6-1/4″, 6-1/2″
Instructions:
- Cut the Night of Navy cardstock to 6-1/2″ x 6-1/2″.
- Using the Envelope Punch Board, line the left side of your paper up at the 3″ mark and punch and score. Move the paper to the 3-1/2″ mark and do the same. Rotate the paper 90 degrees, lining up the score lines and repeat. Do this until you have all four sides scored and punched.
- Looking at the picture above, cut out the squares in the corner on two of the sides so that the box fits together easily.
- The Envelope Punch Board comes with a handy corner rounder. You can round each corner if you like.
- Crease the lines on three sides of your paper, leaving the one side unfolded. This will be the top of your box.
- Assemble the box using Tear & Tape (see above picture for placement of tape).
- You are now ready to decorate the notecard box as you wish.
- I created a belly band using the Happiness Blooms DSP. Attach this to the outside of your box, then stamp the “so many of my smiles begin with you” from the Detailed with Love Stamp Set in Night of Navy and cut out using the oval shaped stitched framelit.
- Stamp a flower from the Bloom by Bloom Stamp Set in Pineapple Punch and Night of Navy inks and then fussy cut.
- To finish up, I added a bow using the Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine.
- I then made a few notecards using the Bloom by Bloom Stamp to add to the box.
There you have it! A quick notecard box for gift giving! Below is a list of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used.
