INSTRUCTIONS:
1-Cut Your Papers:
~Crushed Curry for Box: 5-1/2″ x 11″
~Crushed Curry Layer: 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ if desired
2-Watch This Video
if you need the basics of die cutting and putting together a box. It is less than 9 minutes long.
3-Die Cut Your Box:
~Cut Two of the Box Dies from your Crushed Curry for Box piece.
~Make sure you lay them the same direction while you are working on them!!
~Put your Tear & Tape on as shown in the video. This will help you keep the Box Pieces in the proper position. If you are Heat Embossing directly on the Box Back write on the Small Side Flap instead of adding the Tear & Tape to the Box Back. This will help you keep it in the correct position.
4-Box Front:
~Use your Granny Apple Green Marker Brush Tip to color your Grass about halfway up the Box Front.
~Draw Grass Blades with the Fin Tip of your Marker.
~Stamp Two Fences with Memento Black ink on Pecan Pie cardstock. Cut out with the coordinating die.
~Punch the Pumpkins from Pumpkin Pie cardstock using the Builder Punch. Draw lines on them with the Pumpkin Pie Marker. Run your Basic Gray Marker on the right side edge of each Pumpkin for shading.
~Punch Two Stems from Early Espresso cardstock. Glue them onto your Pumpkins.
~Stamp your Autumn Words with Pecan Pie ink.
5-Box Back:
~Die Cut your Leaf from Pumpkin Pie cardstock.
You have the option of doing everything directly on the Box Back OR having a cut out as shown.
~MAKE SURE YOUR BOX BACK IS FACING THE SAME DIRECTION AS YOUR BOX FRONT!!
~Lay your Leaf where you want it.
~Write “Happy Fall” with a pencil or Stampin’ Write Marker. The fine tip will be fine.
~Rub your Box Back or Cardstock piece with your Embossing Buddy pouch.
~Trace your Words with your Wink of Stella.
~Cover with Embossing Powder. Remove excess. Melt with your Heat Tool.
~If you did not get good coverage, use your Wink of Stella to trace what needs more Embossing Powder and repeat until you are happy with the coverage. This may take a couple of tries to get the look you want.
6-Finish Your Box:
~Add Tear & Tape to the Box Back if you need to. Remove the Tape backing and put together your box.
~Lay your Fences and Pumpkins on your Box Front. Glue them where you want them.
Optional Crushed Curry Layer:
~Run your Pumpkin Pie Marker along the edges.
~Attach with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the Box Back.
Your Fun Happy Fall Treat Box is finished. Use as a decoration or add some Treats to it.
