New Annual Catalogue Week - Project No 4

To celebrate our new Annual Catalogue, & our lovely new In-Colours, I'm bringing you 5 projects, which are all variations on a theme, of fold flat boxes & bags.

Todays box, using the new in colour Just Jade, was inspired by a very similar box made by fellow demonstrator Sally Stampers (check out her blog here) To fit in with my theme for this week I've changed her design a little, making it into a fold flat box.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by

Instructions:

You will need a piece of Cardstock 8 1/4" x 9" (21cm x 22.5cm)

4 panels of DSP 4" x 1 3/4" (10cm x 4cm) layered on Whisper White 4 1/8" x 1 7/8" (10.5cm x 4.5cm)

Score on the short side at 2", 6 1/4"     (5cm, 16cm)

   and on the long side at 2", 4", 6", 8" (5cm, 10cm, 15cm, 20cm)

Remove the sections marked on the template below, and round the corners on the resultant flap.

Using a ruler & your scoring tool score diagonal lines as shown in the template. 

Fold & burnish all your score lines, Noting that both vertical score lines should be Mountain folds. The Horizontal & diagonal score lines marked with an M should be Mountain folds, and those marked with a V should be Valley folds. 

Decorate by adhering the DSP panels on to the centre panels of your project.

Fold in the side sections (fold on the vertical folds) & You should now be able to form your box, ensuring that all folds remain as mountain or valley according to how they were marked on the template.

Tuck the flap into the pocket formed between the end panel and the folded in corners.
