Take Flight 20 – Day 5, An Elegant Note Box

For the last four days, we’ve featured creations from some of our talented designers, and today is no different.  .  . today we have quite a treat from Elizabeth Allan – a very detailed step-by-step tutorial for this gorgeous notepaper box made from materials you most likely have in your paper crafting arsenal. Amazing!

 

 

Instructions

Cut 2 pieces of mat board for the front and back covers of the box and one for the spine.

 

Stamp Glory of Modesty on cream cardstock with Crimson Pearlescent Brilliance ink.  Spray with Gold Psst Sheer Shimmer Spritz to add glitzy glimmer.

 

Position, center and adhere the mat boards to the back of the stamped paper leaving 1/8″ between the covers and the spine.  Wrap the cardstock around the edges of the mat board to create a finished edge.

To finish the inside, stamp Indian Wheel in Wheat VersaMagic on cream cardstock and adhere to the mat boards covering the raw edges wrapped around from the previous step.

 

Create an open-faced box from recycled cardboard.  Prime the surface with Gesso and then paint with gold metallic acrylic paint.

 

Adhere the finished box to the inside right panel of the book and fill with note paper.

 

Stamp Love Chapter in Smokey Gray VersaFine across the bottom of a small piece of white cardstock.  Ink the edges with Peanut Brittle Memento ink.  Adhere to a slightly larger piece of mat board edged with Crimson Pearlescent Brilliance ink.  Attach to the front of the note box with Power Adhesive Tabs.

 

Stamp Kisses in the Sun on white cardstock with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and heat emboss with clear powder.  Color and trim the image.  Attach with dimensional foam tape.  Accent the butterfly and flowers with Star Dust Stickles.
