Stamping Bella DT Thursday: Create a Fairy House Gift Box with Sandiebella!

Supplies:

White Card
Patterned paper
Circle and scalloped circle dies (optional)
Scoring board and bone folder
18″ white ribbon
Cut:
1x piece of white card measuring 10.5″ x 4.25″
1x piece of white card measuring 7.75″ x 7.75″
Score the 10.5″ x 4.25″ piece, on the long side, at 4.25″ and 6.25″

Score the 7.75″ x 7.75″ square piece at 2″ on all four sides.

Using a scissors or paper trimmer, cut up to the intersecting scoreline on 2 opposite sides, as shown, to make tabs.

Taper the edges of the tabs slightly and cut them down to approx 1.25″ so that they don’t overlap when assembling the box.

Cut:

4x pieces of white card measuring 1 7/8″ x 3 5/8″
4x pieces of patterned paper measuring 1.75″ x 3.5″
Adhere each of the patterned paper pieces one of the white card pieces to make panels for the box sides.

Lay the box base with the outside facing upwards and adhere the panels to the box sides.

Apply double sided tape to the outside of each of the tabs.
Adhere the tabs to the inside of the adjacent side to make the box.
Cut:
White card:
4x pieces measuring 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″
2x pieces measuring 4 1/8″ x 1 7/8″
Patterned paper:
3x pieces measuring 4″ x 4″
2x pieces measuring 4 x 1.75″
1x piece measuring 4″ x 2″
Adhere each of the patterned papers to the white card pieces, except the 4″ x 2″ piece of paper.
You will also have one 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ left, put aside for later.
Retrieve the box cover and adhere the inside panels.
Adhere the outside panels to just the top and the back.
*note: this step can be done before adding the layers if desired. 
Cut 2 pieces of white ribbon, approx 9″ each in length.
Adhere one of the pieces of ribbon to the outside of the bottom of the box, securing with double sided tape.

Adhere the 4 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ you set aside earlier to the box bottom, covering the ribbon.

Adhere the other piece of ribbon to the outside top of the box, securing with double sided tape, then stick down the 4″ x 2″ piece of paper you cut earlier over the ribbon.

Stamp the Fairy House onto white card

Stamp a selection of Little Bits Little Critters onto white card.

Colour all the images and cut out using the coordinating dies (or fussy cut if you don’t have the dies)

Cut:

White card:
1x scalloped circle approx 4″
1x stitched circle approx 3.75″
Patterned paper:
1x stitched circle appox 3.5″

Adhere all the circles together and add them to the top of the box cover, using 3D tape or dots.

Adhere the house to the circles, again using 3D foam or dots.

Using wet glue so that you have some wiggle room to centre the box, adhere it to the inside bottom.

If desired, you can cover the inside sides of the box with patterned paper.

Close up the box and add any more critters you may want to use.

    How adorable is this box? I love it! I love the stamp & I love the coloring, especially the yellow that you used. What a great gift for someone just the box alone or as a beautiful gift box. Thank you so much for showing it to us!
