Acorn box

If you have been following me for a few years, you know I sell acorns at craft fairs in the Fall. I have good news and bad news. The Bad News first. The property I use to get the acorns from has a new, nasty, strange owner. The previous owner died (God Rest her soul, A Beautiful Kind woman) and her adopted daughter is now in charge. We are no longer collecting from her tree. Staying clear. Very sad. The Good news, Stampin’ Up!® has a New Stamp set in the Holiday Catalog called “Acorny Thank You”. This is certainly one of my new favorites. Time for a sneak peek picture tutorial using this set.

Isn’t this cute!

Here is how I created this cute box using-Into The Woods DSP, also from the Holiday Catalog.

Start with a 6″ X 6″ piece of Designer Series paper:

Score 1″ on all 4 sides:

then score on one side 2 1/2″ and 3 1/2″:

Fold on all score lines:

Cut on score lines on 2 sides.

I made better cuts -triangle cuts:

It should look like this on opposite side as well:

Add (your choice) adhesive/Glue/Sticky Tape/Scor Tape/Tear and Tape to smaller tabs on all 4 sides:

Put together lower part of box:

Then finish with top of box. All sides should be glued inside of box giving it a clean look:

How’s that for a nice little box:

I added my little Acorn and the Thankful greeting:

What’s inside-a teeny, tiny Tic Tac pack of course. To hot for chocolate right now:

And the box again:

So much fun. Perfect for a Life Saver roll, perhaps a chap stick, maybe money. Even though our stamp set and DSP won’t be available until Sept 1st, go ahead and make one anyway with any of our current DSP.
