Welcome back to our celebration of Sale-A-Bration 2016! This week's featured stamp set, Flowering Fields, comes in wood mount or cling-mount and would make a delightful addition to your crafting supplies. It's so sweet and fun to color! I used it to make a wildflower border around the base of this tall box using Archival Black ink and the Subtles Collection markers.
if you'd like to make the box, take a piece of 8.5×11 cardstock and score at 2.5, 5, 7.5 and ten inches on the long side, and 2.5 on the short side. Create your flaps and fold box together, adhering with Tear & Tape. The lid starts with a 5-inch square piece scored at 1.25 and 3.75 inches, turned 90 degrees and scored again at 1.25 and 3.75. Before you adhere the lid flaps, make sure you try it on your box and make it looser or tighter as needed. I like a box lid that won't come off too easily, myself. The finished box is 6 inches tall.
The lid on my little box has the cutest "glass" knob! It's two of of the largest Vintage Faceted Buttons plus one of the medium ones, tied together tightly with cording They look like one piece! After they are tied securely, I poked a hole in the center of the lid and fed the cording ends through to the inside. Another button and a tight knot secures the whole thing down.
