Another great SU! Scallop Envelope Box with tutorial

Supplies:

• 4 Scallop Envelopes (using the Scallop Envelope Die and Big Shot)
• 2" x 11" and 2" x 3 1/4" strips of Designer Paper
• 13" length of 1/4" grosgrain ribbon
• Flower from Pretties Kit
• Small Rhinestone Clear Brad from Pretties Kit
• Sticky Strip
• Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and sponge

1. Cut four Scallop Envelopes using the Scallop Envelope Die and Big Shot. Remember to cut the envelopes one at a time or you'll end up with lines cut where they should be scored. Lay out all of the envelopes with the good side up.
(The good or front side is more finished. The back side is rougher where the cuts are made).

2. With the good side facing up cut off the right flap of all four envelopes.

3. Turn all of the envelopes over so the back side is up and apply sticky strip as shown.

4. Remove the Sticky Strip backing and adhere the envelopes together. Place the flap with the Sticky Strip is under the envelope to the right. Repeat until your envelopes look like this.

5. The last flap should be adhered to the inside of the first envelope.

6. Flip the box onto its top. Place Sticky Strip on two of the flaps. Remove the backing and adhere together to form the bottom of the box. Pay attention that the box remains square while you're completing this step.

This is now what your box should look like.

7. Cut two strips of DSP. One 2" x 11" and another 2" x 3 1/4". I chose to sponge the long edges of the DSP with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. Adhere the longer strip around the box as shown. I recommend putting sticky strip along the two short ends of the long strip and some regular SNAIL adhesive several places along the middle.

8. Adhere the smaller piece as shown. Again I recommend putting Sticky Strip on the short ends. For this piece that's all the adhesive that's really necessary.

9. Remove the Sticky Strip backing from all four envelope flaps and adhere to the sides over the DSP.

10. Last cut a 13" length of 1/4" grosgrain ribbon (Old Olive shown) to wrap around the box. I placed about four 1/2" pieces of Sticky Strip on the ribbon, one at each end and two in the middle. Then put a small Clear Rhinestone Brad through one of the flowers, both from the Pretties Kit, and adhere to the box over the ribbon using two Mini Glue Dots.

Last year when we made this box it was during the holidays so it was the perfect way to give handmade ornaments. I'm curious to see what uses yall can come up with for this box during the summer.
