I saw these Mini Magazine File Boxes and I just fell in love. I first saw these on Becky Roberts blog for 3 x 3 cards. I wanted to make one for regular size cards 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" so I kept searching . . . . and I found Melinda's blog Sunflower Stamping and she has a tutorial for the 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 box......YEAH!! I just didn't want to resize Becky's myself, just being lazy. I knew someone out there probably already did that. Melinda's tutorial is very easy. So here is what I came up with......
I used Stampin Up Petals & Paisley DSP. I wanted to make my box stronger so I used the white cardboard that comes in the DSP packages (I save all of those, even the cardboard that comes on the back of note pads, they come in handy for craft projects) to make my box and covered the white with the Designer Paper. This made the box more strong and not flimsey. I also used Tombows Multi Purpose Glue and Red Liner tape to make sure it doesn't come apart. And I just added some paper flowers to embellish. I also made some matching cards to go inside. . . . .
These are a few of the cards I made to go inside the box. These are great Christmas gifts to give. I'm going to be participating in some craft sales this fall and I think these would be great to have to sell. Well, this is one of my projects that I was working on this past weekend. I'll post some more later. I went to a stamping class and we made some really cute cards and another bag/box. I'll show that next time. It is really cute, you'll just love it. Thanks for stopping by, until next time.
