Easter Gift Box by Lori Williams

Easter Gift Box

Designer: Lori Williams

Supplies Used: Scor-Pal Board, Scor-Pal Tool, Scor-Pal Tape, Designer Paper and Dies.  

It's always fun to create dimensional paper projects and I hope you'll find this one handy for any holiday, though I have designed it for Easter.  Get your Scor-Pal's ready, follow this simple tutorial and you'll have your treat box in no time. 

Step One: Cut your cardstock to 11 x 6 5/8.  Cut two pieces of designer paper 2 1/2 x 3 7/8 and two 2 x 3 7/8 and one piece 3 1/2 x 4 inches.  Lastly cut one piece of card stock to 3 1/4 x 3 3/4 and one 2 7/8 x 2 1/2.  

Step Two: On the main piece of cardstock score at the 2 1/2 , 5 1/4, 7 3/4 and 10 1/2 longwise.  For the 7 3/4 and the 2 1/2 scores you'll need to move your paper over to the first 1/8 of an inch line as shown in the picture below ( this will actually be scoring at 2 5/8 and 7 7/8 inche but there aren't lines for those measurements).  For the 1/4 and 1/2 inch mark be sure it's lined back up on the edge.  

Step Three: Turn your paper and score 2 1/2 

Step Four: Cut your lines upward on the smaller section and cut away the last little strip as shown on the picture below

Step Five: Lay your designer paper out and adhere to the base

Step Six: On one of the larger panels tape down a die cut you would like to use the shape and cut out. 

Step Seven: Apply thin Scor-Pal tape around the diecut and apply a clear sheet of acetate.  

TIP: You can purchase acetate sheets but I use many of my packing supplies from dies and such and recycle. 

Step Eight: Score your 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 designer paper a 1/2 inch around all side and cut slices as shown in the picture below.  We are forming the lid. 

Step Nine: Glue your solid card stock that is 2 7/8 x 2 1/2 to the inside of your lid.  This will give it some strength.  Then punch two holes on the sides of lid to run ribbon through.  

Step Ten: Glue tabs with Scor-Pal tape to create the lid. 

Step Eleven: Score your last piece of card stock that is  3 1/4 x 3 3/4  , 1/2 inch around and create another lid as above.  Take your ribbon and some wide scor-pal tape and adhere to the bottom of the lid.

Step Twelve: Push down into the box and this will hold your ribbon in place.  Run your ribbon through the lid holes and top your box.  Your now ready to embellish your box.
