Self-closing Box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing anything but a card. I have made a self-closing box and decorated it with the lovely Velvet Meadow dsp.

Colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Bubble Bath

Berry Burst

I created the self-closing box using the following supplies:

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Velvet Meadow designer series paper used to make a pretty self-closing box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

With the long side at the top of the scoreboard and the ½” strip on the right I scored at 2” and 6” but only as far as the first scoreline. I repeated this on White cardstock to make it easier for you to see.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Velvet Meadow designer series paper used to make a pretty self-closing box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Taking a ruler and the Take Your Pick Scoring Attachment I scored from the bottom of the 2” scoreline to the right-hand corner of the rectangle and then again to the left-hand corner. I repeated this from the bottom of the 6” scoreline to both other corners.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Velvet Meadow designer series paper used to make a pretty self-closing box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I cut away the small rectangles at either end of the ½” tab and cut up all the remaining scorelines along the long sides. I folded and burnished on all the scorelines beginning with the diagonal scorelines. The cardstock was then folded on the 4” fold and glued to the ½” tab to close the box.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Velvet Meadow designer series paper used to make a pretty self-closing box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Using a pencil, I marked one side of the 3¾” square of Velvet Meadow dsp at 1⅞”. I used my Paper Trimmer to cut from the 1⅞” mark to the lower right corner and then the lower left corner giving three triangles. These were glued to the front of the self-closing box. The four tabs forming the bottom of the box were then glued together.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Velvet Meadow designer series paper used to make a pretty self-closing box – Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop
