Color Me Happy Blog Hop

Welcome to the Club Scrap Color Me Happy Blog Hop!  If you've arrived from the talented Tina's blog, you are in the right spot. If you'd like to start from the beginning, please head over to Club Scrap to see what wonderful project Karen has created for you.

January's Idea Deck challenge is to use the 9 of Spades from any of the five ALSB Idea Decks. As luck would have it, the card sketch from the Cardmaking Deck Vol. I calls for small squares which match perfectly with the cut aparts from Color Me Happy.  I seriously had to do very little to put these together.  I just added a ribbon, sequin or dot and embossed a panel.

 

These are super cute and super easy but that's not the reason you're here today. 

 This adorable see-through box is!

 

I modified the Stationer's Box project from Club Scrap Retreat 2013 to fit the cards and envelopes I had created.  Great minds must think alike because Tricia just posted a video last week on creating a similar box with a solid lid.  If you learn better by watching, check out her video for the Greeting Card Box.

 

Below are my modified dimensions to fit ten 4x5 cards and ten Bar envelopes.

 

Base:  12 x 9 score at 1/4, 1, 1 3/4 on each side.

Cut notches out of the long sides as the diagram shows. 

Diagram by Club Scrap.

Make sure to tightly fold in the tabs on the short side when adhering.

Lid:  11 3/4 x 8 5/8 score at 3/4, 1 1/2 on each side.

Cut out the long sides like you did for the base.

Fold and adhere.

 

Cut out a 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 rectangle from the center of the lid. 

Adhere a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 transparency film with bookbinding glue.

I'm super thrilled with this easy, adorable way to package handmade cards!
