Grab & Go box with cards– made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits
Christmas Traditional Kit
This is definitely one of the easiest open topped boxes you’ll ever put together.
Start off with a plain cardstock 12”x7.1/4”
Score the long side at 4.1/2”, 5.3/4”, 10.1/4” & 11.1/2”
Score the short side at 6” & 7.1/4”
Fold all of the score lines, cut slits into the score lines on the bottom, now wrap the panels until they make a box. Glue the extra flap closed on the long edge. Bring up and glue the bottom panels to create a base. The box is now complete.
For the
cards to be easily seen and picked up, draw and cut a diagonal line across the top
of the side panels. From back to front, by 1”
Decorate-
Twenty Five Days 5.3/4”x4.1/4” + 2 Red/Green 1”x5.3/4” + Holiday Floral 4.1/1”x4.3/4
Ink all
pieces to be used on this project. Finish off with a strip of washi tape on the
back.
PROJECT TWO –
simple 5 minute cards
Starting with a plain cardstock 5.3/4”x8” *tip A4 cut in half is perfect for a card base of 5.3/4”x4”
1. Poinsettia 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + torn Holiday Floral *1.1/2x5.1/2”
Stick down the Poinsettia pattern paper as the first layer on the bottom. Then using some scraps, I have torn the edges of the red pattern paper. Stick down a strip on top of each card and finish off with a tag. Ink all edges. Use foam tape / 3D dots or cardboard to give the tags some dimension
2. Woodgrain 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + Holiday Floral 4.1/2”x3.1/4” + scraps for
strips Twenty Five days and Red/Green and Berry Christmas
Stick down the Woodgrain as the first layer.
Create your topper as a second part.
Using the red pattern paper as the base for the topper, glue down the strips of
scrap papers onto the left side. Using some foam tape / 3D dots / cardboard added
to the back of the sentiment piece. You can also use the foam tape to the back
of the topper also to give extra dimension layers to this card. Ink all edges.
3. Woodgrain 5.1/2”x3.3/4” + Holiday Floral 5.1/2”x1” + Acetate 5.3/4”x4”
Measure down 1” from the middle crease. Cut the card there. Add Acetate
to the inside of the flap panel to equal the length of the missing card. Add
washi to the back of this panel.
On the front, add a pattern paper layer and washi over the top of the cut. Choose a sticker from the sticker sheet included in the kit, place it in the middle to replicate an invisible card front.
Stick the woodgrain to the inside of the card. This will create a background
for the sticker on the front.
