Click HERE for the basic instructions Click HERE for the bottom & top inserts template. Other options would be to make very tall boxes, or more than 7 sided boxes. Just fun to play with. |

6 sided box: This box was created with black cardstock, and the house stamped with perfect medium, then colored with Perfect Pearls (Bubble Gum & Mint). Even though the pattern stamping is the same as the brown box, the score lines are different, creating a different look to the box. The vertical score lines on the black box run on the sides of the top row of houses, rather than the sides of the bottom row of houses. I added rose micro fine glitter to the dots. The star on top is multi colored with gold, chartreuse and rose glitter. If you look closely, you'll see a little gap on one of the corners - scored my horizontal line too close... but it's hidden by the big bow. I adhered the double peg bow with a piece of tape and then used fine wire to sew it to the top and added beads as well. |
The blue box on the
right, as you can see is made up of only 1 row of house pattern
for both the top & the bottom. Done with Distress Broken China.
I scored well below the dot in the flourish for the top of the
box, creating a small star colored with Distress Faded Jeans . |

The red box on the
left below is a 7 sided box. The top has an insert of white silk
material/cardstock. I added red ribbon and lace trim around the
box where one flat edge pattern met up with another flat edge
pattern. I added red glitter in the dots and a rosette made with
Tim's smaller rosette die and the silk paper. I then added a
piece of ribbon through the top, hid the ends on the inside with
a decorative piece of cardstock.

The red box on the right above is a 5 sided box. I used a large, oversized rhinestone star and then added small stars in the dots and a bit of red glitter on the side dots. |
