Fairy Gift Box + Tutorial

Hello Friends,

Today I am sharing a tutorial for a gift box made with The Fairy Pack…

First of all I took 2 pieces of cardstock measuring 8” x  8” & 9 ½” x 4”

Score the square cardstock at 2.5” on all sides, cut on the 2 score lines on both sides till the horizontal score line as shown above & fold on the score lines. For the long cardstock score at 3 ½” on both sides & fold.

Next I folded the box piece & decorated both the pieces with pattern paper from the Fairy Pack.

Glue down the box to one side of the long piece as shown.

Now to make the closure attach a piece of ribbon on the top & bottom of the lid with strong adhesive & then decorate with pattern papers.

I decorated the box with chipboards, lace trim & handmade flowers.

I colored the chipboard piece with metallic copper watercolor from gansai tambi watercolor set. You can see the lovely shine in the picture below.

Hope you like my tutorial & will give it a try…

Envelope Punch Board Gift Box Tutorial

Hello friends,

I am sharing a tutorial for a gift box today made using Envelope Punch Board.

We need 2 pieces of 7" x 7" cardstock. Align all 4 sides of the cardsock at 3 1/2" mark, punch & score. Repeat this with both the pieces.

Now score all 4 sides of both the pieces at 3/8".

Cut off the corner squares as shown ( I later cut the corners in a straight line so the edges were 45 degrees to the score line). 

For the top portion of the box cut off both flaps from one of the sides as shown. This will be the opening of the box.

Apply tacky tape on the flaps of the bottom piece leaving 2 flaps on one of the triangle pieces. This will be the opening of the box.

Carefully align and adhere the top & bottom pieces. The picture below shows how it will look like after the box is assembled.

Make a hole in the top & bottom opening pieces & thread the ribbon through & tie a bow to close the box. Decorate the box with pattern papers & embellishments of your choice.

Wedding Gift Tutorial

Hello friends,

Today I have a tutorial for a quick and easy gift.

This tutorial can be used to make a gift for any occasion.

I have to used the Wedding Collection Kit for this post...

This is the front...

And here is the inside... It has 4 pockets for tags... Theses tags can be used as photomats as well as a messages & giftcards.

I started with creating the base for this pocket card.

Take a 11 3/4" x 8" piece of white cardstock & score at 5 3/4" & 6". Fold on the score lines.

Take another piece of 8 3/4" x 3" piece of white cardstock & score at 1/2" & 8 1/4", rotated it & scored at 1/2". Fold the score lines & cut the corners as shown. This will be our pocket for the left side.

Now for the right side pocket take a white cardstock measuring 6 1/2" x 7 1/2"

Then I scored it at 1/2" & 6", rotated it & scored at 1/2".

Fold the score lines & cut the corners as shown.

Now measure 2" from the top on the left score line & draw a line till the top of right score line.

Cut off the resulting triangle.

Adhere the pattern paper of your choice and mark 2" & 4" from the top on both sides.

punch a hole on all 4 marks keeping them in a straight line on both sides.

cut a sliver of paper out between 2 holes to make an opening as shown .

Adhere both the pockets to the base & decorate with pattern papers.

For the right pocket tags I took 3 lengths of cardstock all with a width of 4".

I used a decorative die to make the top tab of all 3 tags & decorated them with beautiful pattern papers from the Wedding Collection.

For the left pocket tag I used the journaling cards from the Wedding Collection matted them on white cardstock.

To decorate the caver I choose the paper with the beautiful bride & groom image.

I glued the pink sequins in the Wedding Kit to decorate the frame around the couple. I also glued some white pearls. Then I adhered the leaf lace, fabric flower & adhesive button as shown.

Next I took a lace from my stash & weaved the pink jute twine through it & adhered on the left side. Lastly I added a jute bow & flower to finish it.

Hope you like it...
