We had Stamp Club last week and made two cards, our December calendar and a Birthday Reminder Box.
Here are the pictures and instructions:
2 pieces of Thick White Cardstock –
·
#1 measures 11” x 7”
·
#2 measures 7.5” x 6”
·
Score Piece #1 on it’s longer side & .5” / 3” / 8” / 10.5”
·
Use the Diagonal Score Plate & score at the 8” mark (see diagram)
·
Flip the page completely over (to the back side). The first diagonal (@ 8”) should now be in
the opposite corner. Score again at the
8” mark diagonally.
·
Fold & cut off the corners
·
Add strong tape (Red Line or Sookwang tape) to the two 5” flaps on
the side.
Piece #2:
·
Score at .5” and 3” on the longer side.
·
Turn 90 degrees and score at .5 & 5.5” on the shorter side.
·
Trim ½” flaps as seen in diagram
·
Place strong tape on ½” flaps.
Adhere Designer Paper to box before putting it together. Side panels are cut 7” x 2 ¼”. Front panel is 4 ¼” x 4 ¾”
·
Fold the ½” flaps up & align them along the inside back of
Piece #1. Adhere.
·
Fold in the “wings” and adhere them to the base flaps.
·
Fold up the front & adhere to the remaining ½” flaps.
To make the notch, measure in half-way from the sides & make a
pencil mark. Use a Circle Punch &
punch a half circle.
You need 6 Dividers cut at 6” x 4 ¾”
DSP for the dividers is cut at 5 ½” x 4 ¾” – scored at 5.5” &
2”
If you want to make additional boxes (nice Christmas present!),
here is the link to directions AND a link to printing the calendar inserts.
Thanks to Marianne for this card! She gave me the one on the right for my birthday in October. I gave the ladies a choice between Wisteria Wonder and Fresh Fig. This set comes with framelits but I did not use them on the card. We just stamped directly on the white cardstock.
