Directions to create box:

1. Cut Textured CS to 7 ½ X 6 ½ inches
2. On the 7 ½ inch side, score at 2” and 5 ½”
3. On the 6 ½ inch side, score at 2” and 4 ½”
4. Cut into scored line, on score line in all 4 corners
5. Adhere the 4 pieces of designer series paper on all 4 sides of box 
6. Place sticky strip on all 4 flaps of box. Fold in flaps and fold up sides of box to create bottom of box.

Directions for lid:

1. Run Cardstock through Big Shot using the Top Note Die
2. Score all sides ½” in from tips to create perpendicular lines 
3. Cut all 4 corners in to score line like you did for the box bottom—gently fold on scored lines
4. Place the top note in Petals A Plenty embossing folder and run through big shot.
5. Using the width of the ribbon as a guide, cut a slit with craft blade at each end of box top (on fold). Fold in all corners and secure with sticky strip.
6. Thread a generous length of ribbon through slits leaving loop at bottom for under box but don’t tie yet.
7. Get ready for this great technique. Take your empty spray bottle (stampin’ mist size) and fill ½ full with rubbing alchohol. Add ¾ tsp. of shimmer paint. I used frost Whtie but Champagne Mist gives a marvelous glitzy look too! Shake well and spritz on lid of box. Set aside to dry before tying the ribbon. Tip: If you use 99% alcohol, it won’t last for an extended period of time.
8. Stamp scalloped image in Real Red and old olive ink on whisper white cardstock.
9. Punch stamped images with circle and scallop punch and layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere button and attach library clip.
10. After lid has dried tie ribbon into a bow and clip embellishments to the ribbon.
