Chocolate Box by Elizabeth
Welcome back! Elizabeth Allan is sharing a special altered item today – a custom made and stamped chocolate box!
SUPPLIES and INSTRUCTIONS; Flower Flourish 40-136, Puzzle Parts 30-114, Penny Black Mix & Match Cardstock: Storm 01-001, Blue Lagoon 09-002. Tsukineko: Teal Zeal Memento Ink, Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz. Penny Black’s Blue Lagoon (09-002) cardstock was stamped with Flower Flourish in Teal Zeal ink and then traced with a box template. Acetate was inserted to create a window panel on the front. For a shimmery effect, the stamped paper was sprayed with Frost Sheer Shimmer Spritz and the box top medallion was created from Puzzle Parts. Finished Size: 1 ¼ square / 2 inches tall.

great project from Elizabeth today. Lovely colours/
Box is terrific and I would love to make it. Can you share the measurements please.
Hello Lynne. Thank you for your inquiry. The box measures 1 1/4 inches square and stands 2 inches tall. I made my own template with a 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 inch piece of cardstock. On the long side, it was scored at 1/4, 1 1/2, 2 3/4 and 4. On the short side, it was scored at 1/4, 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. If you click on the picture above it will link you to my blog where you will be able to see where the cut, folds and window were placed.
Thanks so much for the info. I love making boxes and flowers so this tutorial goes on my to do list.,
How did you get so many chocolates into a 1 1/4″ X 2″ box? So pretty!
Hello Susan. This box surprisingly can hold quite a few Junior Mints :0)
This box is very pretty, and the medallion is very attractive. I love the shimmery blue color, and the Flower Flourish pattern. Another very creative use for the Puzzle Parts set! Thank you for sharing the measurments, your templates are always so precise.
