Stampers By The Dozen - November 2017 - Acetate Card Box




This month’s Blog Hop theme is ‘gift packaging’.  I am using the Acetate Card Box to create mine. Rather than fill this box with cards, which is a great gift in my opinion, you could fill it with candy, gift cards, a new cell phone, etc.  


I started by embossing the word Celebrate onto the box.  To do this fold over one side of the closing tabs and slide in the embossing folder.  I placed the folder in the top third of the box, landscape.  In this photo I left the closing tabs unfolded so you could see them. 


Run the Acetate Card Box and Celebration Due Textured Impression Embossing Folder (Celebrate) through the Big Shot Machine – One Direction Only.  Adhere to one side of the flaps closed using Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape adhesive. The folding process may create small score lines, however, they will not be noticed when you add the ribbon.



Cut a piece of Champagne Foil Paper to 11” x 6.75”.  Score the back side, landscape, at ½”, 5”, 5.5” and 10 ½” (not shown ...oops).  Turn the paper 45 degrees, portrait, and score at ½” and 1”.  Trim as shown and press folds. 





Cut a piece of Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 4 ¾” x 1 ½” and adhere to the Champagne Foil Paper at fold.  Adhere the flaps of your Champagne Foil box closed using Fast Fuse or Tear & Tape adhesive.  Slide the open-ended box into the Acetate Card Box.


Wrap ribbon around the box over any score lines created by the closing tabs in the embossing process.  I recommend you adhere the ribbon with Tear & Tape.  For my design I added the bow over the top of the ribbon rather than try to tie it from a single piece of ribbon.

Until Next time . . .
