This week I decided to make a Jewellery Box and
matching Birthday Card for a friend.
Because the Present I had got her
was some nice Wing Earrings,
and I thought the Image suited.
To make the box I followed a Template for
'That's a Wrap!'
(My Time Made Easy - Pretty Packaging
Designed by Lauren Meader)
But I altered the base so that it became a 10cm Square.
(Ross Papers)
Cut out the altered template, Top and Bottom,
and using my Ultimate Crafters Companion
to do my scoring.
for the flaps I wanted them to look nice
so I used my Ivy Blossom Corner Punch
(Emboss plus Punch - Fiskars)
And so that I can lift the Lid up I used a
'Sweetie' Punch
(Card Craft Punches)
half on the card,
to make a fancy hole.
And for the Inside just a Sheet of A4
Pearlised Black Card
(Ross Papers)
cut to a 10cm square with 1cm
folded down flaps
to make it stand inside the Box.
then I punched through 2 holes,
for the Earrings to go through.
For the Box Sleeve I used an A4 sheet of
Champagne Pearlised Card
(Ross Papers)
And cut out the altered Sleeve Template.
To decorate the Box I used a sheet of
Starry Purple Vellum
(stash)
which I Die-Cut out using the 3rd largest Circles (8pk)
(Sizzix Nestables)
Then I cut it in half and place
one on each of the top semi-circles.
With a strip of Purple Satin Ribbon
(Stash)
along the top.
Next I made My Tag by Die-Cutting
a scrap left over from the Champagne Pearl Card.
Using the Largest Tag Die-Cut
(free from Papercraft Essentials)
and then using the same Die cutting out some
Starry Purple Vellum
(which I trimmed down a little to give an edge)
Then I Fussy Cut out my Little Image
and added it to the bottom of the tag.
Using a 6mm Extention Hole Punch
(XCut)
I punched a hole in the top.
Then finished it off with a Purple Paper Rose
(stash).
To tie the Top together I pierced 2 holes in each flap
and threaded the Purple Ribbon through.
Then threaded the Ribbon through the Tag
and Tied it off with a Bow.
I had printed off 2 images for this project,
1 Little for the Tag and
1 Large for the Card.
Here is a close up of the image.

Here is a close up of the image.
I coloured in my Images both the same
using my Promarker Pens.
Next I made my matching Card.
I started off with an A4 sheet of
Champagne Pearl Card
which I cut down to make a 12cm Square Card.
Next I Die-Cut out the Starry Purple Vellum
I used the largest Ornate Square Frame
(XCut).
And Fussy Cut out my Large Image
and placed it on top.
For a Sentiment I used
the 'Enchanting' Clear Stamp
(Fairy Belle Collection - Julie Lee)
using Tuxedo Black Ink
(Memento).
using my Promarker Pens.
