Hello Inky Friends, this tutorial is a great way to create packaging using Eileen Hull's Gift Box with Scallop Edges. While this looks incredibly inky it is in fact made using Dyan Reaveley's pre-printed papers from her Creative Dyary Journal. I love working with Dyan's whimsical, quirky, fun images.
The Inspiration Team is hard at work creating beautiful spring samples for the month of March so I hope you get to check them out! This box was one of my samples for Creativation 2020 and it would make a wonderful birthday gift box, storage box or decorative organizer box.
Let's get started! The base for this box as I said was paper from the Creative Dyary which comes in a few different sizes & styles. You could also use the Jumpstart Journal which is printed on one side & blank on the other. Which ever you choose the backgrounds are done for you courtesy of Dyan!
I started by choosing papers & cutting them into squares just as little smaller then 3.75". Then added some of the delicious Dylusions washi tape along the edge or edges. Next was some stencil work in black acrylic paint. You will want to let the paint dry at least 4 hours or you risk ruining your pen. The doodle work was done with a white paint pen.
Time for more doodles & stamps. As the backgrounds are very colorful most of the images were stamped on white card stock & fussy cut out. It was so fun & easy to use this formula- washi, stencil, doodle, stamp & quote. This quote which is quite perfect for me is a Dylusions Bigger Back Chat sticker.
How many of you can relate to these great quotes? The images make them even more fun.
This square was changed up a bit. Instead of washi tape the edges were stamped or doodled & the leaves painted. Same with the word sparkle.
Love this one with the combination of washi, & doodle plus such a great quote!
This square totally cracks me up! It really makes me want to know what did happen. Ok once the blocks are all done- which may take awhile because it is so much fun! Time to build the pieces.
You will want to cut out 2 Gift Boxes using mat board. Fold at the scor lines using the edge of a table to get a clear fold. Practice making the box so you have an idea of what I am talking about. One of the pieces goes around horizontally & one vertically.
Distress the edges of the mat board using ink or paint. I used Color Blends in Bay. Adhere the squares keeping in mind how the box will be assembled so the images are the right way up. Basically on Piece #1: adhere the squares side by side in the same direction. These will be 3 out of the 4 sides.
The other side of Piece #1 will be inside the box so I just added different paper & no images.
Piece #2 will be the top (owl), middle & bottom of the box. So 2 squares on the inside can be just paper but the flap of the box has the owl image & is oriented in the same line as the other 2 squares. This will be on the inside but when the lid is open you will want the image to be right side up! This whole piece ends up vertically, when you put the box together. The outside of Piece #2 is a bit more complicated. The bottom can be blank the middle square will be the final side and the end square will be the top of the box.
Here is the view of how you will assemble the box. The flap that goes in the front of the box has the dangle charms. This box can be assembled without glue if you want to use it as a block & actually stays together really well as the mat board is strong. However as I want this to be a box with a lid that opens, adhere Redline tape on the inside flaps that will adhere to the walls of the box. I added washi to the other side of the flaps as they will show on the inside of the box.
This is how the box looks from the back side. Here you can see the Redline on the flaps of the box.
Love how the washi tape eyes on the edge work so well with the charms etc!
Here is a quick video to show you how the whole box looks when finished. There are so many possibilities for this!!
