"Scallop Square die" Box Tutorial

As promised early today, I have pleasure in showing you how to make this Scallop Square die box.

 

Cut out a Square Scallop using your "Square Scallop" die for the Big Shot.  Using either your scoring attachment on your paper trimmer or your bone folder, score between the 2nd and 3rd scallop and then the 7th and 8th, turn the piece by 90 degrees and then score between the 3rd and 4th scallop and the 6th and 7th scallop.  See picture on the left.

Cut on the score lines between the 3rd and 4th scallop and 6th & 7th score lines up to the score line going in the other direction, Add Sticky Strip, all as indicated in the photo on the left.

If you find that Sticky Strip is a bit unforgiving for you, then use a glue stick such as Pritt Stick and go over the adhesive on the sticky strip prior to fixing your project together, this should make things a bit easier.

Lift up and adhere the walls of box that only have the one strip of Sticky strip, this is the back of the box.

Lift up the other walls of the box.  Make sure the middle scallop on the sides match up, this should be easily achieved.

You can now decorated your box.  I added a piece of "Pool Party" ruffled ribbon around mine, adhered at the front. I stamped an image from the "Posy Punch" stamp set in "Calypso Coral" ink and punched that and a piece of "Pool Party" cardstock out using the "Fancy Flower" punch, adhered them together.  I stamped the circle image, also from "Posy Punch" stamp set, added a "Calypso Coral" brad from the "Printed Brads" collection and adhered that to the punched out piece with a dimensional and adhered the whole embellishment over the ribbon with another dimensional.

Both boxes side by side.

Boxes and notecards/tags

I hope you found this tutorial useful.Whilst I haven't shown it, this cute little box would defiantly be big enough to hold some treats, you would just need to use a cello bag ~ hmmm, I can feel a Mother's day or Easter project coming on

take care  ... xx

Scallop Square box CASE

Morning,

Thank you for dropping by my blog.  Today I'm sharing a project that I CASE'd from a photo I saw on some ones blog of some projects that where showcased at a Stampin' Up! event in the US recently.

It's a little box made from the Scallop Square die for the Big Shot.

 

The Scallop Square die is made by Sizzix exclusively for Stampin' Up!  The little box is approximately 2 1/2" x 1 1/2", with a height of approximately 1 1/2" to the top of the scallop.  The little cards inside are 2 1/4" squared.  The images on the little notecards/tags come from the FREE Sale-a-bration set, "Sprinkled Expressions".  This is one of the sets available for free when you place an order for £45 or more during Sale-a-bration. Please click on the link to the left (and a little up)  for more details.

As I mentioned, I saw this project from a photo taken at a Stampin' Up! event.  That's one of the many great things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, they are always trying to help you with ideas and training both via the demonstrators exclusive website and events.

If you've ever been interested in becoming demonstrator, then now is the perfect time as during Sale-a-bration anyone who signs up to be a demonstrator can choose any stamp set of any value from the current catalogues absolutely free.  If you would like more information on this or any thing to do with Stampin' Up!, then please do not hesitate to get in contact with me for a chat, my email address is in the top left hand corner.

Oh, and if you are reading this before around 2pm today, (Sunday 29th Jan), then please pop back later this afternoon as I will have a tutorial on how to put this adorable little box together, and you'll get to see these cute little notecards/tags in a bit more detail.

Until later... xx
