This month, I have a heart shaped box to show you.
Supplies
needed:
Scor-Pal
Scor-Tape
The
Stacker
Heavy
weight Cardstock – 2 pieces of 8 1/2” x 10 1/2”
3
pieces of 8 1/2” x 11”
If
you wish to add any stamping to your cardstock, do it before you
start scoring. I used the Stampin’ Up! Crosshatch background stamp,
using Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo ink, and stamped it several times
to cover each of the 5 sheets. When scoring, have the decorated side
facing up.
Decorations
and Embellishments – I used Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites
Blooms Three and Blooms Four, and Picket Fence Studios Leaves for
Flowers stamp set and coordinating dies
Step
1
Using
one piece of 8 1/2” x 10 1/2” cardstock,
with the long edge at the top of your Scor-Pal, score at 4”, 4
1/2”, 5”, 5 1/2”, 6”, 6 1/2”, 7”, 7 1/2”, 8”, 8 1/2”
and 10”. Turn it 90°
to
the right and score at 1/2” and 5 1/2”.
For
the second piece, score at 1 1/2”, 2”, 2 1/2”, 3”, 3 1/2”,
4”, 4 1/2”, 5”, 5 1/2”, 6” and 10”. Turn it 90°
to
the right and score at 1/2” and 5 1/2”.
Crease
all the score lines, and firmly crease the 1/2” and 5 1/2” lines
and the 10” lines.
Step
2
For
each piece, hold the cardstock so the 1/2” score lines are at the
top and at the left. Trim off the small square at the top left hand
corner. Cut up from the bottom along the score lines to the 5 1/2”
line. Trim off the bottom left flap.
Trim
off a bit of the large 4” bottom flap so it will fold more easily.
Refer to the pictures for placement.
Step
3
Turn
each piece over, and add Scor-Tape along the top 1/2” flap and
along the left edge above the 5 1/2” score line.
Step
4
Remove
the liner from the Scor-Tape on the left side of one piece and attach
it to the right flap on the other piece. Repeat to attach the other
sides together. Remove the liner from the Scor-Tape on the top flap
and fold to the inside.
Step
5
Turn
the box over and fold in the flaps. Temporarily tape the flaps once
you have the heart shape you want. Trace the heart shape twice on one
sheet of 8 1/2” by 11” cardstock, cut them out and attach
Scor-Tape to the wrong side of each.
Make sure one of them will fit
inside your box – you will need to make this one a bit smaller.
Step
6
Remove
the temporary tape and tape the cut out hearts to the bottom of the
box, both outside and inside.
Step
7
Cut
one of the 8 1/2” x 11” pieces of cardstock in half to make two
pieces measuring 4 1/4” x 11”. Place one in your Scor-Pal and
score at 4 1/2”, 5”, 5 1/2”, 6”, 6 1/2”, 7”, 7 1/2”,
8”, 8 1/2” and 10 1/2”. Turn it 90°
to the right and score at 1/2” and 1 1/2”.
For
the second piece, score at 2”, 2 1/2”, 3”, 3 1/2”, 4”, 4
1/2”, 5”, 5 1/2”, 6” and 10 1/2”. Turn it 90°
to the right and score at 1/2” and 1 1/2”.
Crease
all score lines and firmly crease the 1/2” and 1 1/2” lines and
the 10 1/2” lines.
Trim
the top left square where the two 1/2” score lines meet, and add
Scor-Tape to the same areas as the box bottom.
Step
8
Assemble
the top the same way as the bottom of the box.
Step
9
Trace
two hearts on the remaining piece of 8 1/2” x 11” and attach as
before.
Step
10
Decorate
as desired.
