A big project continued

Now for the box – this was going to be a bit tricky – if I got my calculations wrong then the car wouldn’t fit in the box!!

After a lot of careful measuring and cutting, I had the pieces for the box. As the box was quite big (11cm x 11cm) I had to make the box from more than 1 sheet of cardstock.

The box beginning to take shape.

Next was the lid, again carefully measured and cut, remembering to add 0.5 cm extra all the way around.


Here it is, just waiting for the glue to set.

Then for the really fun bit – the decoration.

I cut a piece of card for the base, adding a diagonal piece of embossed paper and edged it with pearls.

Using my Sizzix wedding confetti die and various coloured tissue paper I cut some confetti. This was glued this all over the base.

Check back tomorrow for more of this project.
