Scallop Envelope Box
by Jane Matsumoto
Create a darling box with four scallop edge envelopes.
Supplies
- Four 5" x 5 1/2" pieces of cardstock or patterned paper
- One 2 3/16" x 12" strip of patterned paper
- Scallop Envelope Bigz Die (Stampin’ Up®)
- Big Shot™, or other die cut machine
- Adhesive
- Stamps
- Ink
- Additional cardstock or patterned paper
Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Cut your four 5" x 5 1/2" pieces of cardstock with the Bigz Scallop Envelope Die and Big Shot.
-
Step 2
Crease all scored lines.
-
Step 3
Add Scor-Tape™ along one of the side tabs of each die cut.
-
Step 4
Adhere one die cut to the next.
-
Lay the project flat.
Hint:
You can adhere the inside tabs to the panels, but this may make creasing the box after the next step more difficult.
-
Step 5
Adhere the patterned paper to the die cut strip.
Start on one end, approximately 1 1/4” from the edge (creasing as you go). You will have 1 1/4” of the patterned paper sticking out past the other end.
-
Put the last two tabs together and then adhere the rest of the patterned paper.
Variation:
After putting the box together, start adhering patterned paper on one end and wrap all the way around (creasing as you go). Finish on the same panel you started with, but expect a small gap. The 12” of patterned paper will not cover the entire front.
-
Step 6
Tuck the bottom flaps (not scalloped) over each other and tuck the bottom edge of the last flap into the box.
-
Lift each flap and adhere using either double-sided tape or glue dots.
-
Step 7
Decorate the front as desired.

Loved your box . Can't wait to try it. Thanks, so much for sharing. Linda
You can either type in Scor-Tape into your internet search engine and find a lot of online stores that carry it, or you can purchase it directly at the Scor-Pal store.
Amanda,
please check the first page of comments. Jane posted where the stamp is from there.
Kathleen,
I am sure you can create the box without the die. We would just have to figure out the measurements, cut and score lines.
The stamp that I used is from Pink Cat Studio.
The image is from the Enchanted Lily set.
Thank you everyone for the awesome comments and feedback.
Kay - I'm sorry you had a difficult time hearing my voice. I was sick during the time I was shooting the video and also had a sleeping child beside me. I needed to get the video done before I had to give the borrowed Flip back to its owner the following morning.
Would love to see what you make with this tutorial!
