Cute Pumpkin Box

 

Check out this adorable pumpkin box that I made last week.

It is perfect to put some of your favorite treats inside of it!

This is what the box looks like from the top view.

COOL huh!

#156321- Pretty Pillowbox Dies= $34.00

This is the dies that I used to make the pumpkin part!

Notice how I only used the top part of this box (right at the fold). 

This is also the piece that you'll use the center part to die

cut out of the Rustic Harvest DSP!

How did I make it?

Here is the pattern on how to make the box part!

• 5 1/4 x 7 1/4" & score at 2" on all sides of this rectangle.

• Cut on the scored lines as shown.
• Cut off 1/2 of the 4 flaps on the outside edges as shown above.
  
• Add Tear & Tape as shown.
  

• Now fold & stick it together! 

AND this is what the box looks like when put together!

NOTE:  I did attach the DSP to both sides & emboss them using the 

Stripes Embossing Folder BEFORE I attached them to the sides of the box.

I used the Layering Circle Dies to make the holes in top of the pumpkin box handle.

 

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Charming Sentiments' (words) & 'Hello Harvest' (leaves)

card stock: 

• Cajun Craze- 5 1/4 x 7 1/4"- score at 2" on all 4 sides, as shown above in photos to make the box

Awash in Beauty DSP latch card

Here is a fun fold latch card!

 

I used the gorgeous Awash in Beauty DSP!

Here is what the card looks like as you are starting to open it up.

The flower is popped up with dimensionals.

The flower is what holds the card shut by sliding the latch under the flower.

This is what the card looks like when opened up!

Check out the latch!

I always like to find "other" ways to use punches.

And I love the look when using this punch like this latch!

 

How did I make the latch?

I cut a 1 1/4" strip of Polished Pink card stock

& punched it out using the Label Me Lovely Punch.

Just slide the strip of card stock into the punch as shown

& line it up so that there is just little notches on all 4 corners.

Cool huh!

Now the latch just needs to be tucked in under the flower again to hold the card shut.

  I think this is such a pretty card!

Here are the supplies & measurements.

stamp set:  'Peaceful Moments' (words)

card stock:

• Polished Pink- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 3" & 7 1/4"- fold for card base
