Gift Set.....

Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited to be Guest Desinger for DCRU blog today.
Claudia has a fabulous store..one stop craft shop with latest crafty goodness.
Thanks to my friend Margie..she is the one who asked me to do a tutorial as GDT for DCRU..
I loved sharing this tutorial with DCRU awesome DT members..

Its a  fun tutorial for a beautiful gift set...perfect for the teacher's gift, mother's day, birthday..almost any occasion ..

Lets start with the supplies....

                           
2 sheets of 12"x 12" cardstock..
1 sheet of Acetate(8 1/2" x 11"),
 Justrite Stampers,
Nestabilities: Labels One, Circle.
Cuttlebug embossing folder-- Swiss dots,
Post-it (3" x 3"), Ribbon, Candy..I used Hershey minis...
Step1:
We will make the box first....Cut cardstock to 5-1/4" x 10-1/2". Score at 1/2" and 1" on all 4 sides.
I have marked the lines for better view..



Step2:
Cut off the X marked portions....

Step 3:
Apply Scor-tape as shown...I love Scor-tape..its the best adhesive for these kind of projects..



Step 4:
Now fold carefully to make the box-base....and adhere


Step 6:
Next  we will make a divider insert for the box..
Cut Cardstock to 3"x 10 1/2" ...then score at 3-1/4", 3-3/4", 4-1/4", 6",6 1/2" and 7"...




Step 7:
Fold the score lines into mountain and valley folds..like this..



Step 8:
Adhere it to the box base with scor-tape...





Step 9:
Now we will make the slider cover..Cut the acetate to 8 1/2" x 8 3/8".
Score at 1/2", 3-13/16, 4-3/8", 7-11/16" ..and apply scor-tape to the 1/2" part..


slide it on the box and then adhere the ends..for better fit.

Our box is done...now lets fill it up with goodies..
Step 10:
Cut three pieces  of  3" x 1 1/2" patterned paper  and wrap it around the Hershey Minis..
 
Step 11:
To make the post -it holder... cut cardstock to 3" x 6 1/4" and score it at 3" and 3 1/4"..
I embossed it with Swiss dot folder..



Step 12:
Adhere the post it to the cover using scor-tape....

Step 13:
Now embellish the cover as you like..I used  Label one die to cut a piece of Bo Bunny Paper and added  flowers with iCandy Epoxy Brads...


Step 14:
Time for mini note cards.. Cut 4--- 3"x6" cardstock pieces..
score at 3" to make mini notecards..I embossed them with Swiss dot folders...
and add a strip of 1" x 3" Bo Bunny paper..

Step 15:
Stamped the Justrite Stamper's sentiment and image with momento ink on white Neenah paper,
colored the image quickly with Copic Markers..

Adhere the image to the cards and punched a hole with Crop-a-dile to add bow..
and finally adhere two Dew drops...



Step 16:
We have all the goodies ready..time to complete the package with Ribbon ...
