How to:

Stamp Gnome Police Officer onto white card, colour and fussy cut around the outline. Set to one side. 

Score the 7.5" x 8.75" piece of card at 3/8", 1-1.8", 1.5" and 4.25" on all four sides. 

On the long side, score at 2-5/8" and 6-1/8" down to the second score line only. Turn the card 180 degrees and repeat on the opposite side. 

On the short side, score at 1-7/8" and 5-5/8" down to the fourth score line only. Turn the card 180 degrees and repeat on the opposite side. 

Cut away the outer corners leaving  the 0.5" tabs as shown below. 

Cut on the score lines up to the second intersecting score line. 

From the second score line, but diagonally as shown, on all four sides of the piece of card. 

Apply adhesive on the outside of the box, on each of the outer long sections, and on the tabs. 

Remove the backing from the tape on the shorter outer sections. Fold them on the 1st score line and the third score line and press down firmly to make the outer wall of the shadow box. 

Repeat on the opposite side. Remove all the tape backing and fold in each side until the shadow box is complete. 

Score the 4-5/16" x 5-9/16" piece of card at 5/8" on all four sides. Make tabs from the outer corners. 

Adhere the tabs to the inside of the adjacent walls to make the box lid. 

Adhere all the paper pieces to the sides of the box base and lid. 

Adhere the white card layer and paper layer on the top of the box lid. 

Insert the gift card. 

Adhere image to the front of the box using foam tape. Stamp the sentiment onto the remaining strip of white card, trim as necessary, and adhere beneath the image.

Sorry You're Feeling Croaky | Stamping Bella Stamps

Hi all! Well we have Covid in the house since December 26th (thankfully I haven't caught it) so what better project to make than a Get Well Care Box, filled with essentials like tissues, lemsip, throat lozenges, etc. I used one of the images from Stamping Bella's December 2023 Release, Froggy Trio and also a sentiment from the Froggy Sentiments set on the box. They are just the cutest. 

Supplies:

Froggy Trio rubber stamp set

Froggy Sentiments rubber stamp set

Off white card

Designer papers (used - Echo Park, First Responder)

Scoring board and bone folder

Adhesives - wet glue and double sided tape

How to:

Cut card:

(1x) 7.75" x 8.75" (box base)

(1x) 4.75" x 10-15/16"

(2x) 4-5/8" x 3-5/8"

(2x) 4-4/5" x 7/8"

Cut paper:

(2x) 4.5" x 3.5"

(2x) 4.5" x 0.75"

Score the 7.75" x 8.75" piece of card at 1" and 2" on all four sides. 

Fold and crease all the score lines. 

On each of the four corners, cut away the three outside 1" squares, then make a tab from the last 1" square. Snip a wedge from each end side of the tab and the ends of the adjacent long sides.  

Apply double sided tape along the inside of all four outer long sections. 

Apply wet glue to the outside of the four 1" tabs.

Fold each tab inwards and adhere to the inside of adjacent side as shown. 

When all four tabs have been glued down, remove the lining from the double sided tape and fold the outer sections down. 

Score on the long side of the 4.75" x 10-15/16" piece of card at 2.5" and 3-9/16" from both ends. 

Fold and crease all the score lines. Apply double sided tape to the inside of one end

Lay the box base in the centre section of the wrap. 

Fold up each side and wrap around the box. Remove the tape lining to secure the ends together. 

Adhere all the paper layers to the card layers. There should be one each for the front, back and each side. Layer the front as desired. 

Fill the box with honey and lemon drink, soothers, vaseline, tissues, etc. 

Slide the box into the wrap. 

Stamp on of the Froggy Trio images and colour using your preferred medium. 

Stamp one of the Froggy Sentiments onto white card 

Cut two stitched circles from contrasting paper. Trim one just inside the stitching and adhere to the other one. Fussy cut around the outline of the image and adhere to the circles using foam tape or dots. 

Adhere the circles to the front of the box. Trim down the sentiment, fishtail then ends and then adhere across the bottom of the circle panel.
