Here's my latest SB in a Box (yes, I LOVE making these things!). This one was for my mom's birthday.
I used the Parisian Breeze designer series paper (man, this stuff is THICK and sturdy!). I also went for four levels instead of my usual three.
I used the new oval stamp set ("Oval All") and the new oval scallop punch from the mini catalog to make the date labels. However, I left the phrases in the stamps out by just coloring what I needed with markers and then stamping.
The flower in the middle is from prima (the blue flower behind it is also prima):
Also new - I tried using a different edge punch for the top of each "page", and I love the way it came out!
Here are 2 tutorials I've found out on the net to make these boxes:

The main difference between the two are how the box tops are made. I prefer the deeper, sturdier version I made here, but I've also made the shallower version when I needed to show more design on the box sides.
Absolutely amazing Vicky Jo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the instruction links as well. Can't wait to try my hand at this especially now that I have the eyelet punch.
