Tissue Box Tutorial

Hi Jill here again thought you all might like to have a go at making this!

TISSUE BOX COVER
with thanks to Split Coast stampers

Box of tissues (I used a Kleenex brand)

Two 5 1/8" x 9.5" pieces of cardstock (base)

One 6 9/16" square piece of cardstock (lid)

Four 4 1/4" x 4" pieces of cardstock (base patterned layers)

Four 4 1/4" x 3/4" pieces of cardstock (lid side patterned layers)

One 4 1/4" square piece of cardstock (top patterned layer)

Scoring tool/Bone folder

Glue

Scissors or knife

Sponge for inking

Ink

Score the long sides of each of the two 5 1/8" x 9.5" pieces of cardstock at 1/2" and 5".

Crease the folds and glue to form box base

Score and crease the 6 9/16th" square piece of cardstock at 1" along all four sides. Cut the oval using an oval cutter. Cut each corner as shown in the photo and glue the tabs inside the lid

Sponge all the edges of the box base with the ink and then you are ready to decorate!

I chose some patterned papers from my stash cut them to the sizes above then glued them on the box.

Hope you enjoy making it.

Ellephantastic

Hi I am Helen. I suffer with CFS/ME & found a few years ago I could no longer work due to my illness.

To give myself something to do (when feeling well) I decided to go back to my roots....crafting!!
I grew up drawing, knitting & 'Cutting & Sticking'
Now I like to do all kinds of paper crafting, card making, altered art, knitting & sewing.
I also design & draw my own digital art.
My fun hobby has unintentionally grown into a li'l crafty business for me which I am loving.
There is nothing I like better than to put a smile on someone's face because of my crafting :0)
You can order & buy a lot of my work from my shop.

Prize

As this is our final challenge there is more than one prize:

1st Prize

2nd Prize

3 digis of your choice

3rd Prize

2 digis of your choice

PLUS - you will be entered into a side pot if you use an Ellephantastic image. Winner will get 2 digis of their choice & is still eligible for the main prizes.....Thats GREAT odds!!!

Here's my last freebie Roger in his wellies which fits perfectly with our challenge & will give an extra chance of winning if you use him!!!
