This box does look like a clutch bag,doesn’t it??I haven’t made boxes in a while because I’m running out of space to keep them….but I ‘had’ to try this one out… 🙂

You’ll find the excellent tutorial by Caroline here – Clutch Bag Gift Box Tutorial

It’s an excellent tutorial and the box is quite a good size and looks so pretty…..

I have used a plain aqua cardstock for the top cover and a double sided printed paper for making the inside base of the box…The ribbon matches the box cover and so do the adhesive pearls that I used to decorate the box…

Hope you liked my box……

Post#83 Card In A Card

Just as the title suggests…today’s post is a card in a card…..So when you open the first card…it has a pocket inside which holds another card….I like the slight element of surprise in this card…

I kept the base card quite simple in blue base and layers on green on inside and silver foil cardstock layer on the outside…The front only has a small green label with silver heat embossed sentiment on it…

The inside card is 3″ x 3″ in foil cardstock with two strips of green and blue cardstock on the front…Then I attached a small white tag on which I had stamped and coloured in an image of a little girl…at the back of the tag I attached a few small banners for decoration…

I hope you liked this card…

Post#82 Green Slim Gift Bag

I am very excited to share today’s project with you…Its a gift bag with an open top… and I came up with all the dimensions myself…someone else may have made it before but I did not look up any tutorials at all…this was my attempt at learning the basics of creating a gift bag of a particular size with specific measurements…

I started with an A4 size cardstock and trimmed the length to 11-1/2″….I kept the width of the paper as is at 8-1/4″ so the dimensions of the paper are 11-1/2″ x 8-1/4″

Then I scored the short side of the paper at 1″…this will be the base of the bag…

The long side was scored at 1″, 5-1/4″,6-1/4″ and 10-1/2″

Staying on the long side I scored a half score line at 1/2″, 5-3/4″ and 11″

These part score lines will help the sides of the bag to fold in together a bit easier…

I burnished the score lines and cut all four score lines running upto the 1″ base score line on the short side….then I used a strong adhesive to attach the sides and bottom of the bag…the final bag measures 7″ x 4-1/4″ and is 1″ wide

I used a small doily to cover the top of the bag and punched a hole through all the layers to thread the ribbon for closing the bag…also added a few punched our flowers from white cardstock to decorate the bag…

I had a huge amount of fun creating this bag….Hope you liked it too…

Thanks for stopping by…
