Note Card Box

Happy Monday! It will be a happy day for me because I'm going to spend the day with one of my dearest friends today. We are going to stamp, scrapbook and go to lunch to celebrate her upcoming birthday!

But first ~ I have this fun project to show you that I made for the Lizzie Anne Designs Project of the Month. It's a little 3"x 3" card box with note cards inside.

Print Pattern Paper:

1. Using the Garden Inspirations Digital Paper Pack & Photoshop Elements, change Hue/Saturation color levels to the desired colors. I used the Flowerburst pattern and the Green Leaves files.

2. Print patterns on textured linen cover stock (65#). I printed the blue Flowerburst patten in 8 1/2" x 11" and then scaled it down to 3 1/2" x 5". I printed the leaf pattern in 3 1/2"x5".

Box Instructions:

1. Cut out 4 note card envelopes with die cutting machine.

2. Find the finished scallop side (nice perforated edge side up) and place that at the bottom. Then cut off the left side of each envelope.

3. Fold each piece so the bottom and the remaining side flap is folded up and the scalloped edge is folded down.

4. On the back of each side flap, attach sticky tape.

5. Fit the four sides together so the flaps are connected on the inside. Make sure the nice scalloped edge is on the outside. Remove tape backing to attach together.

6. On the bottom flaps, attach sticky tape to secure it closed.

7. Wrap pattern paper around the box and attach with adhesive. You will need approximately 2" x 14" to fit all the way around.

8. Using a small piece of sticky tape, secure the scallop edges to the box.

9. Wrap ribbon around the top of the box with a knot and secure with a glue dot. Finished size of the box will be 3 1/4" square x 2 1/4" tall.

Note Cards:
Cut 8 pieces of textured cardstock (3" x 6") & score at 3".
Use miscellaneous pieces of pattern paper and the Garden Inspirations set to decorate 8 note cards & envelopes.

Stamps:Lizzie Anne Designs ~ Garden Inspirations and Garden Inspirations Digital Paper; Scallop Note Card Die from Sizzix, Textured Cardstock, Textured cover stock (65#) to print pattern paper, Versamark Ink, Black Ink, Blue Ink, White Ink, White Ribbon.
