Here is the promised tutorial for the Buckle Box I posted here.
To make the box itself you need a 5 1/2" X 8" piece of card stock. Use this template to cut the flaps & score it.
Here's a photo of mine after scoring the lines and cutting the flaps.
You'll fold up the side flaps adhering them over each other approximately 1/2" on the sides.
For the front I cut out part of a Scallop Envelope die using the designer paper included in the Playful Polka Dots Simply Scrappin' kit and adhered it onto the front of the box.
I inserted my Word Window punch down into the front of the box as deep as I could and punched once. This gives you the opening for your buckle strap.
I chose a few long adhesive die-cut strips to wrap around and embellish the base of my box.
To make your buckle strap cut a piece of coordinating card stock measuring 1 1/2" X 5 1/2". Add a strip of designer series paper measuring 1" X 5 1/2" long. I used my new Postage Stamp Punch to add a little bit of fun to the ends of each of these strips before I adhered them together and onto the inside back of my box. You could easily just round the corners on the front flap.
Here's the box and the cards I made by cutting 4 different colors of 3" square cards in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Rose Red. They fit our mini square white envelopes perfectly.
I embellished them very simply by using the adhesive die-cuts provided in the Simply Scrappin' kit.
Sooooooooo cute! Thanks for sharing the tutorial. Can't wait to play around and make one! I just LOVE that added buckle.
