Card and Ferrero Rocher Treat Box DIY Template Set

Hello crafty friends,

Melinda here with you and today I am sharing a pretty card and box set I created.The beautiful flowers and foliage are from CottageCutz.com. Here is a look at my set.

The set features a top folding A4 sized card and a matching box. The box will fit 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates and measures 3" square by 1.5" high.

Here's a look at the finished box.

Here's a template of the measurements, Your base piece of paper is 9.75 x 6.

You can follow the template above to make your score lines. You will cut away the parts indicated by the green squares. You will also cut up to the green lines.

PLEASE NOTE: You will need to score at .75", 1.5", 4.5" and 5.25" along the 6" side. See the measurements in white boxes. 

Here is what your box base should look like once you have scored and trimmed it. You see that I snipped a little angle piece off the "tabs". This is so assembly will be easier.

After cutting out my template, I created the patterned paper and printed it out. I then cut the pieces into mats. I then put adhesive on all the tabs and assembled the box. 

This is a photo of what the box looks like when assembled and closed. The lid simply flaps over the base piece.

Here is what the box looks like opened. Super simple but a perfect fit for the 4 pieces of candy. There is even enough room if you wanted to put a little sentiment on the inside of the lid flap.

Here is a closer look at my box. I added a scallop stitched square die cut from the set. I then created and printed out my diagonal plaid paper and cut it out for a mat. I then cut out several of the flower 3 dies in white cardstock along with the leafy branch 2 in white cardstock. I used my markers to color them in. I cut out an oval from the wood grain patterned paper I made and a smaller one from white cardstock. I cut one the same size as the white one from the patterned paper. I trimmed off the stitches to make it a mat. I then die cut the Love You Mom Die from White cardstock and then colored that in as well. I added three little flat back pearls for an extra touch. I also used my Nuvo Drops Clear for the centers of all my flowers.

Following are a few more photos of the finished card. It is a top folding A2 sized card base. To that I added a mat of some plaid paper I created. I also created the wood paper. I created a border of that and added some pretty organza yellow ribbon to it. For the sentiment, I used a scallop stitched rectangle die cut in white cardstock. I then created a mat from the same diagonal plaid paper I created and printed out. Then I glued the sentiment onto that. I used foam tape to give it all a lot of lift and dimension.

Here is one last look at my set. I think it turned out super cute and am excited to give it away.

CUTTING & SCORING:

• Sand-colored Card Base = Cut 9-1/2" x 6" - then score the longest edge at 4-3/4"

• Soft Suede Cardstock =  Cut 4-1/4" x 5-1/2";  --Die cut largest Nested Stitched Scalloped Circle die

• White Cardstock = Die cut 2nd largest Nested Wacky Stitched Circle die;  Cut 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (inside for message)

• Patterned Paper (Teal) = Cut 4" x 5-1/4"

DESIGN STEPS:

1.  I embossed my teal patterned paper with a Parisian 3D embossing folder, and attached to Suede card panel (4-1/4" x 5-1/2")

2.  I stamped a sentiment on my white circle, then sponged some Gathered Twigs distress ink to tone down the white.  I glued it onto the scalloped circle, then onto my card front, over to the right edge.

3.  I die cut Flower 3, Flower 5, Leafy Branches 1, 2, and 3, and the Butterfly Kayla from white cardstock and then added distress inks to color them; Gathered Twigs for branches & butterfly body.... Peacock Feathers for the blossoms and butterfly wings... Broken China for smallest blossom center.  

4.  I figured out placement of everything and glued in place, then adhered to center of my sand-colored card base. 

5.  I then spattered some metallic gold acrylic paint over my leafy branches (mostly).  I love the look this gives for a nice finishing touch.  

Here's one more look of the finished card...

Thank You Flowers

Hello Friends

It is Pam sharing with you today!

IT'S NEW RELEASE TIME!  The collection is called Flowers and More.   The unique thing about this release is that there are fewer pieces in each of the dies.  So they go together really quickly and easily! 

I noticed I was getting low on Thank you cards. So I decided the flowers in this release are so pretty they would make a beautiful thank you! I used Flower 5 and Leafy Branches 1, 2 and 3.  My inspiration for this card was one by Barbara Anders that I found on Pinterest.

Designer Steps:

1.  Using an A2 white card base splatter the card with black.  I used a watered down black acrylic paint

2.  Cut out a white doily with the Tea Time Doily then splatter it with the same black mixture as the card base

3.  Use a black striped washi tape to line each side of the card

4.   Using the following dies Leafy Branch 1, 2, and 3 cut out the leaves in 2 different shades of green card stock.  Using the Flower 5 cut out the large and small flower in 3 shades of blue card stock.  Using the Garden Wheelbarrow cut out 6 of the small white flowers

5.  I cut a slit in the blue flowers between the petals and then cupped then with a stylus.  After I cupped them I pinched the petals to give them a little shape.  I also did this with the white flowers only on the small white flowers I glued 2 together for a little more strength

6.  For the centers I used white Prills which I dyed yellow with some distress ink

7.  Cut two Thanks in black using the Thanks Expression die.  Glue the two Thanks toghether.  Glue the doily slightly to the right of center as shown above and then glue down the Thanks as shown

8.  Arrange the blue flowers and glue dot then down.  Tuck the leaves in and around the flowers.  Then add the small white flowers and your card is complete
