Fun Paper Candy Demo's: 2010

Hi Everyone
Today I'd like to share a tutorial on what I'll call a crayon box.
This is a great box for 4 x 4 cards or even a spool of ribbon for a sweet stamping friend.
Lets get started.
Supplies you'll need:
Stamps:
Digital stamp - Libby Ladybug from Digital Delights
Paper:
Box
(1) Red card stock 10" x 6"
Back of Box Panels
(1) Blue card stock 3 7/8" x 3 7/8"
(1) Pattern Paper 3 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Top of Box Panels
(2) Blue card stock 2 1/4" x 3 7/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 2 1/8" x 3 3/4"

Accessories:
Scallop circle punch
1 1/4" circle punch
Score Tape
Scissors
Signo white pen
Copic makers
Ribbon
Bling
Velcro dot

Step 1:
On the 10" side of the 6" x 10" red card stock score at 2 1/2", 3", 7" and 7 1/2"
On the 6" side score the card stock at 1/2", 1", 5" and 5 1/2"

Step 2:
Cut away the corners. To do this place card stock on the table vertically. Cut along the 1" score line up to the second score line. See photo below. Fold your card stock on your score lines using a bone folder for crisp folds.

Step 3:
Since the flaps are the same size it doesn't matter which one you fold over the other.
Add adhesive to the sides of one of the flaps to create the pocket. See photo below for placement of the adhesive.

Step 4:
Adhere the card stock and patter paper to create three panels.

Step 5:
Adhere the panels to the box. See photo below for placement.

Step 6:
Adhere box together.

Step 8:
Decorate! I've used Libby Ladybug and colored her using Copic markers. I've also added some bling and a ribbon on the top of the box. I've also used a Velcro dot at my choice for a closure.

Thanks so much for joining me today for another Tuesday Tutorial at Digital Delights!
Have a fantastic day.

Hi Everyone
It's been some time since I posted anything on this Demonstration blog but I'm super excited to be with you today and to share that I've been asked to create tutorials over at Digital Delights.
So now I've got no excuses in posting tutorials of some of the fun things I've made.
Some will be some oldies but goodies and some new stuff I've found around the web.

Today I have a claim box to share.
The one I've made today is a gift for a fellow stamper so I've added some paper flowers in the box for her. You can of course add some treats to the box for a gift or put some stray embellishment you might have. I seem to always have embellishments with no home.

Let's get started

Supplies you'll need:
Stamps:
Digital stamp - Scottie Dog and Thank You
Paper:
Box
(1) Blue 8 1/2" x 10 1/2"
Top of Box Panels
(1) Brown 4 3/8" x 2 7/8"
(1) Pattern Paper 4 2/8" x 2 6/8"
Front and Back Panel
(2) Brown 4 3/8" x 1 3/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 4 2/8" x 1 2/8"
Side Panels
(2) Brown 2 7/8" x 1 3/8"
(2) Pattern Paper 2 6/8" x 1 2/8"
Accessories:
1 1/4" circle punch
Score Tape
Scissors

Step 1:
With your 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" blue card stock score the 8 1/2" side at 2" and 6".
On the 10 1/2" side score at 1 1/2", 4 1/2", 6", and 9"

Step 2:
From the 10 1/2" side cut along the score lines up to the 1 1/2" score line.
See photo for example. You will make 4 cuts on the 10 1/2" side of the card stock.

Step 3:
Next we need to trip 1/2" from the box. Fold over the 1 1/2" strips (as seen in the below photo) and line up the card stock to the 1/2" mark on the right side of your trimmer. (View photo in Step 5 to see what the end result looks like once you trip 1/2" from both sides.)

Step 4:
Adhere your brown and pattern paper panels together. You will have a large panel for the top of the box. You will also have 2 panels for the front and back of the box. Lastly you will have two shorter panels for the sides of the box.

Step 5a:
Add your panels to the box as shown in the below picture.

Step 5b:
Add adhesive to your box as shown in the picture below.

Step 6:
Put box together.
Start by folding in the 1 1/2" strips to create the bottom of the box. Make sure that the smaller strips go inside the box. That way when you close the box lid it won't catch on the sides of the bottom of the box.

Step 7:
Next adhere the lid.

Step 8:
I've used a 1 1/4" circle punch to create a notch out of the box so that the lid is a bit easier to open. You could also do this step before constructing the box.

Step 9:
Decorate. I've colored the Scottie with Copic markers. I've also used a boarder punch and used it like a fence for the sweet dog. Add some ribbon and some bling and you are in business.
