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.
