My project today was inspired by the color challenge at The Playdate Cafe to use Black, White, and BLUE! I chose to use Pacific Point for my shade blue! The Stampin' Royalty girls hosted a challenge to create a Masculine Themed Project and this one is for Dad!
Here's what I came up with, a Tool Box for Dad made from the Stampin' Up! Box #2 die!
Side view
Back view
Here's how you make it:
1) Die-Cut {2} Boxes using the Box #2 die out of 12" x 12" Basic Black card stock! Using your Paper Snips, trim off the small side panels, so the boxes are left looking like this:
2) Assemble boxes using sticky strip. Hint: I use sticky strip on just the one side tab (pictured below). These boxes hold together really well! You can add more if you want, but I found this small strip is enough!
3) Using the Wide Oval Punch, punch the 'handles' close to the top of the box. I punched out one box first, then lined it up with the other box so that the handles were lined up.
4) Once boxes are assembled, use sticky strip to adhere them back to back. This will create the tool box!
5) Decorate as you wish! These boxes fit the Hershey nuggets perfectly - about three layers deep! I decorated the top row only. Using the 1/2" Circle punch, I punched out Pacific Point card stock circles to look like 'screws or bolts'!! I chose to put the candies on each side of the box along with a Starbucks gift card! But you can fill each side with a bunch of different goodies and change up the theme for whatever occasion you're celebrating!
