There are a lot of templates and directions available for the Rectangle card in a box on the Internet. I wanted a larger box so I changed the sizing of my box to fit on a 4 ½” x 12” piece of cardstock. Make a template using these measurements: Starting on the 12 “ side, make a mark at: 1 5/8”, 5 5/8”, 7 ¼”, 11 ¼”, 12”. On the short side make a mark at 2 3/8”. When the template is complete paper clip it to your cardstock, place it on your scoreboard and score on all of the lines. I left the center back standing up rather than folding it back. Cut on all of the lines above the centerline and fold both small flaps and the front flap. Leave the back standing up. Add Contrast paper and DSP to the base of the box. Cut 2 strips for the shelves ¾” x 5”, score ends at ½” and fold the tabs forward.
Stamp the birds on white cardstock using black, and stamp the flowers in pink. The branches were stamped in black and sponged in 2 shades of green before some adding for accent color to match the flowers. The leaves were also sponged in 2 shades of green and I added a little pink accent to them to tie them in with the flower. The birds were colored using blue and pink chalk. I used my flower forming toolkit to shape the birds and flowers and them layered them on the branch using Dimensionals. I added pearls to the center of the flowers.
Adhere the shelf strips on one side of the box ONLY, and leave the other end loose. I adhered the front shelf about ¼” lower than the back shelf. Form the box by adhering the tab edge to the inside of the opposite end to form a box. Now attach the loose ends of the shelves to the other side of the box. Tape box shut and then adhere the shelves to the to opposite edge of the box.
Add the branches, birds and flowers to the shelves and the flaps using Hot Glue. I have my verse on the back of the center panel.
