Zoe Box Card Tutorial

Zoe makes a terrific pallet for this card tutorial with added pictures. This is a tutorial on how to make a box card with finished flat card that is able to post with added second stamp postage.
The exact sizes are on a previous post, but I will place dimensions under the pictures for easy reference.  Have fun making this sweet card box.

Base of card:  10.5" x 7"

Score:1/2", 2.5" sections

score at 3.5"horizontal except at base



plan lining color and cut 4 pieces: 2.25"x 5 or 6"

Score and attach 3 linings, leaving back piece flat.
First lining attach after box side is adhered.
Inner pieces are 3,5" x 2" scored with 1/2" folds on end.

Any flexible plastic sheet can be used for holding accents.
I use laminating plastic because it is easy to cut.
I make a few 1/2" x 6"pieces and them pick accents and
pictures to add to card box.

I used xyron adhesive to attach velum accents to c/s.
I also put extra stickease and mats on back of the accent pieces.

Remember when you plan accents and photos, you want to make
sure it doesn't exceed width or height of a 5x7 envelope.

Greeting Card Workshop: Wishes pp.110 - 115 using Zoe paper pack and the August Stamp of the Month S1508 Framed.  You can make 16 cards in a snap by cutting the pieces for 2 each of 8 cards.  I also added a bit of cardstock as mats, some thick twine and retired ribbon, and embossing folder impressions. The sentiment stamps were embossed using clear embossing powder and  pigment ink,

What a special delight to get a new paper pack this August before the Annual Inspiration goes live in September. I love the soft colors included in this pack and the WOTG was easy to work with. This month I will be experimenting with Zoe and then sharing it with you during the New Product Launch the second Saturday in September.

 

 

So join me in September but order Zoe in August so you will have it available for the New Product Launch and crop September 12, 2015 at 9:30am in my Versailles, Ky home.

Always, Alayne
