pattern CASEd from Brenda Quintana

Step 1

Place Blue Bayou cardstock in paper cutter so the long side is facing North/South. Score at 1" and 3".

Step 2

Turn the cardstock in the paper cutter so the long side faces East/West. Score at 1", 3", 4", 6", 7 1/16", 9 1/16".

Step 3

Cut along the long 1" and 3" score lines until you reach the center panel.

Step 4

Cut off each of the flaps leaving about ½" of flap.

Step 5

Trim off a diagonal edge on each side of each flap. This will help the box fit together better.

Step 6

Locate the end with the smallest panel (½" x 2"). Use a ruler to mark off ½" from each edge.

Step 7

Use the measurements to cut cardstock away from the center tab. The tab will be 1" wide.

Step 8

Cut a 1" slit in the center of the 2nd score line from the edge that does NOT have the tab.

Step 9

Ink snowflakes with Whisper White craft and stamp all over the Blue Bayou cardstock.

Step 10

Locate the square panel that is NOT next to the tab you cut out earlier. Punch a hole in the center using the 1 ¼" circle punch. Save the punched out circle for later use.

Step 11

Punch a scrap piece of Soft Sky cardstock using the 1 ¼" circle punch.

Step 12

Center the scallop punch around the circle the was just punched out. Punch and you will have a scallop frame.

Step 13

Punch holes in each scallop using the paper piercer.

Step 14

Adhere scallop frame over the punched circle.

Step 15

Apply SNAIL adhesive on the backside of the cardstock around the punched circle. Adhere the window sheet.

Step 16

Fold the cardstock on the score lines. Apply adhesive to each flap on the stamped side. Bring up the sides to meet the flaps and form the box.

Step 17

Tuck in the one end into the box so the window shows.

Step 18

Tuck the tab into the slot to close the box.

Step 19

Ink snowflake with Soft Sky. Stamp on scrap Whisper White cardstock. Punch out with ½" circle punch.

Step 20

Punch out a scallop from a scrap piece of Soft Sky cardstock.

Step 21

Ink the Holiday stamp from the Circle of Friendship set with Not Quite Navy. Stamp on scrap Whisper White cardstock. Punch out using the 1" circle punch and mount onto the Blue Bayou circle scrap saved from earlier.

Step 22

Adhere the snowflake to the center using a dimensional.

Step 23

Mount onto the Soft Sky Scallop and adhere to the top of the box. Add some Soft Sky double stitched ribbon around the box.
