Instructions
Cut and score all your card base pieces if not using ready made so that you have 4 card bases.
Cut 5 pieces of whisper white 3" square for your stamping layers.
Using your main flower colour stamp two flower heads close to each other but facing in different directions. Then using call me clover, stamp the leaf and stem in between them.
Using your flower colour, stamp four of the tiny flowers as shown on the picture and put your sentiment in the bottom right corner.
Using the same colour stamp your other sentiment inside your card base.
Cut 5 pieces of gingham gala 3 3/4" square (I have used the same colour dsp as the flower I have stamped on the card). Adhere the dsp to the front of the card in the centre, leaving a small border all the way around, then adhere your stamped piece in the centre of that.
Repeat 4 times so that you have your four cards.
To make the box, cut a piece of thick whisper white to 6 1/4" square and score at 1" on all four sides. Fold and burnish all the score lines and then cut up to the score line to the left of each tab and notch in on both sides (see picture)
Put adhesive on the tabs and fold in to make your box, making sure that they line up square.
Cut a piece of contrasting card stock to 6 5/16" square and score at 1" on all four sides. Fold and burnish all the score lines and cut the tabs as on the base of the box.
Before you put the box together, adhere the dsp to the centre of the box lid and then add the stamped layer to the centre of that. Adhere the tabs and
fold in the make the lid.
Using the circle punch, punch a half circle on two opposite edges of the lid to help to get the lid on and off.
There you go 4 lovely cards in a pretty box, easy. Why don't you have a go, I'd love to see pictures of your versions.
Happy stamping
