A Banner Box

Have you seen the new Party Banner dies? They are awesome!

This set of 14 dies (does not count the extra "corners" and "grommets" dies) ranges in size from 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" to 5-1/4" x 7". If you like to create decorative banners, these are for you!

But what else can you make? I previously showed a card that I made with the dies; see it here. And today I'll show you another item - a box that holds 4 handmade cards:

A customer recently purchased the Poppin' By bundle (stamps and coordinating dies) and I wanted to make her a thank you gift. So I created the banner box using the same set and included 4 cards showing the versatility of the stamps and dies. I'll show you the cards over the next few days (yes, you'll have to come back to see them 😄), but let's look at this cute box.

I started with a template:

I used Real Red cardstock to create the box, then cut two Real Red banner pieces with the largest Banners die. I also cut two more smaller ones in Basic White.

The banner pieces are just adhered - upside down - to the box front and back, extending about 1/4" on either side of the box. Placing them upside down gives you the "points" on the top where you can add ribbon handles.

Then it was time to decorate. Since my customer had purchased Poppin' By, I chose that set to decorate the front.

This came out so cute, and she was thrilled to get some card ideas that she can create at home.

The Party Banners dies and the Poppin' By bundle can be found in the OnLine Exclusives right now! But these items are only available while supplies last, so don't delay; be sure to pick them up before it's too late!
