www.stampingbella.com: rubber stamp used BUNDLE GIRL WITH A HEART TRAIL. card by Sandie Dunne

Supplies:

Love Sentiments rubber stamp set.
Card – Black, white
Designer paper (used: P13, Love in Bloom)
Scoring board and bone folder
Adhesives
Circle and pennant dies
 
How to:
Stamp Bundle Girl with a Heart Trail onto a piece of white card, colour using your preferred medium, and fussy cut around the outline. Also colour and cut out the large heart from the trail.

Set the image aside to work on the box.
Cut one piece of card measuring 10.25″ x 10.5″
Score on the 10.5″ side at 2.5″, 5″, 7.5″ and 10″
Turn clockwise and score on the 10.25″ side at 2.5″, 6.5″, 7.75″, and 9″
Fold back on the 7.75″ line

Keeping it folded back on the 7.75″ line, cut on each of the score lines down to the 6.5″ score line, then mark a notch at the top of each of the four 2.5″ sections, in the centre (1.25″ )

Cut from the centre notch diagonally to the 6.5″ score line. Then completely remove the outer 0.5″ section.

Opened up, it should look like this.

On the bottom cut each of the score lines up to the 2.5″ intersecting score line. Remove the 0.5″ section and slightly taper the edges of the remaining 4 sections.

Fold the top 1.25″ section towards you; – i.e. valley fold. Also valley fold the 7.75″ score line. Mountain fold all other score lines.

For the layers, cut four each of:
Card – 2-3/8″ x 2-1/8″ and 2-3/8″ x 1-1/8″
Paper – 2.25″ x 2″ and 2.25″ x 1″
Adhere the paper to the card, then adhere the large panels to the outside of the box.

Fold the top down, towards you and adhere the smaller panels to the top sections.

Apply adhesive to the 4″ long tab only, and adhere the opposite end of the card to make the box.

Fold in the tabs at the bottom applying adhesive to the last one to secure it.

Apply adhesive to the small 0.5″ tab and tuck under the box top.

Push down the top of the box until it is in place just above the paper panels, then secure the tab. This ensures there is enough space for the lid to move up and down.

Stamp the sentiment from the Love Sentiments set, and cut out using a pennant die. Also cut a 2.5″ stitched circle from both black card and contrasting paper.

Trim around the edges of the stitched circle, just inside the stitches

Adhere the paper to the card and then adhere the image using foam tape/dots.

Adhere the image circle to the box, again using foam tape/dots and then adhere the sentiment across the top section
