Jowilna is on the blog today with the gorgeous Butterfly Garden range of papers. I fell in the love the moment I saw this range and knew that I would love it. The soft colours and beautiful details make this range perfect for most projects. I chose to create some boxes this time around with the new Scoring Board released. And in a few minutes I created these beautiful boxes because I had amazing tools.

Step 1 - Cut your Butterfly Garden patterned paper 06A to measure 10,5x7".

step 2 - Place the paper on the score board and score the following lines as per the diagram. Vertically on the short side at: 2,5", 5", 6,5" Horizontally on the long side at: 2,5", 5", 7,5" and 10"

step 3 - Once all the scoring is done, use your bone folder to burnish all the lines and fold them.

step 4 - Trim away the bottom edge spine area using your scissors.

step 5 - Continue along the bottom and cut into the fold lines to the first horizontal scoreline only.

step 6 - Start assembling the box. Add a thin line on adhesive on the thin spine area and adhere. Then add tape or adhesive to the bottom flaps and seal the box at the bottom.

step 7 - Pinch the top edge inwards to create the seal at the top. Now decorate your box with the embellishment pack.

 

Seal the box with a little peg after filling it with chocolates or a small gift that is not too heavy. Decorate the front of your box and add ribbon and other elements as desired. This box is a slight adjustment to the measurements to make a taller milk carton. I simply adjusted the size of my patterned paper and when scoring i made the center part longer.

Quick and easy gift boxes that anyone can make. I love how the decorative elements from the Die-cut Ephemera pack can be layered on top of each other for a really stunning effect. And don't forget to pick up your scoring board and guillotine trimmer from Couture Creations to make crafting so much easier.

Until next time - give the scoring board and these boxes and try and share your projects with us.
