Coffee, Cookies and Cocktails - A tutorial making note cards and a box to hold them
Hello fellow stampers and friends~
For my Saturday Night Live demo on Facebook, I created some fun note cards and a cute box to hold them. It would make a fun gift for a friend or a host gift.
The note cards and envelopes come in a pack of 20 cards and envelopes. I am using the Very Vanilla cardstock tonight, but they are also available in Whisper White. The are great to have on hand.
The box is made from one 8 1/2" x 11" piece of card stock. A photo of the template I use is below. You can follow along on the video, it comes together easily.
The stamp set we will be using for this project is: "Nothing's Better Than" #152507, and die set "Love You More Than" 152698. Some of the stamps use a two step stamp technique, and the cookie card also uses a masking technique. I show how to accomplish both of these techniques in the video.
Box:
1. Following the diagram, on the long side, score at 1", 2", 6" and 7"
2. On the shorter side, score at 1" and 7 1/2".
3. Using a ruler score as shown in the black marks on the template.
4. Following the diagram, cut out the two blocks with the "X".
5. Round the corners as shown.
6. Fold and burnish all folds and assemble the box referring to the video if needed.
7. For the top of box, cut a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 6 1/4" x 3 3/4".
8. For the belly band, cut a piece of coordinating card stock 11" x 1", wrap around box loosely and
adhere using adhesive of choice.
9. Cut a 2 1/4" and a 2" circle using appropriate punch(s). (color of choice) layer and stamp as you choose.
