Cut on the four outer score lines, up to the intersecting lines, as shown below. Tape in the edges to make tabs. 

Fold and burnish all the score lines. 

Apply adhesive to each of the four tabs and adhere them to the inside of the adjacent side to make the box base. 

Score the 6-1/16" x 6-9/16" piece of card at 1" on all four sides. 

Cut away two of the corner sections on the long side, then make tabs from the remaining corner sections as shown below. Taper the edges of the long tab at the back, and the small tabs at the front. 

Adhere the small tabs to the inside of the adjacent sides. 

Apply adhesive to the outside of the long tab and adhere to the inside back of the box base - lining the 1" score line with the top of the base. 

Close down the lid to ensure it fits well. 

Adhere the paper pieces to the card pieces for the box lid. Adhere the panels to the lid, then adhere the paper panels to the outside of the base. 

Cut a 3.5" stitched circle from white card, and a 3.5" stitched circle from paper. Adhere them together and then adhere the circle panel to the top of the box. 

Adhere the inside paper panels, then fill the box with the sunscreen, after-sun lotion, lip balm, gauze, and band-aids. 

Stamp the Aloha! sentiment onto a small strip of paper and adhere to the front of the lid. Decorate the box with die cuts and/or stickers then adhere the Hula Gnome into the centre of the circle panel using foam tape/dots.

Gnome Doctor rubber stamp

Work Life Sentiments set rubber stamps

White card

Designer paper

Scoring board and bone folder

Pencil & ruler

Stitched circle Dies

How to:

Cut white card:

(1x) 10.5" x 10.5"

How to:

Score the 10.5" x 10.5" at 3.5" and 7".  Flip 90 degrees and score at 3.5" and 7" again. You will have 9 3.5" squares. 

Using a paper trimmer or craft knife, cut from the top scorelines, diagonally, to the side scorelines - removing the four corners. 

In each of the 4 corner sections, mark the centre with a pencil and score from the where the score lines intersect down to the pencil mark

On one of the 3.5" squares, measure and mark at 1.75" on the edge. Score from each of the corners of the score lines down to the 1.75" mark. 

Repeat only on the opposite side. 

Valley fold all the score lines. Pinch in the sides and fold up the back/front to make the explosion mechanism. 

Cut two of the 3.25" squares diagonally, both ways, to make eight triangle shapes. 

Adhere the triangles to the inside of the card each side of the score lines. 

Make three 3.25" panels for the inside. Adhere the 2.75" piece of card to one of them for the sentiment. 

Score the 11.5" x 3.5" piece of card at 3-9/16", 7-1/8" and 10-11/16" 

Adhere a paper panel between next to the small tab. If you are using directional paper, ensure it is pointing up towards the tab. Turn the piece 180 degrees and adhere paper to the opposite end, also pointing upwards. 

Apply adhesive to the tab and adhere inside the opposite end. 

Fold up the exploding card and ensure it fits inside. 

Stamp a sentiment from the Work Life Sentiments set in the centre panel. 

Turn over and adhere the remaining 2 paper panels.
