Tall Boy Box Template and Tutorial

I am sooo sorry! I couldn't post the template for the Tall Boy Box yesterday since it was Sunday! and during Sunday I go to church and then have fun with the family until the evening and after the dinner I came to check my e-mail and the internet, but I was tired and without energy to come visit my blog, lol!

Anyhow here the template and the tutorial on how to do it, I hope you can try it!

What you need for the box:

Piece of cardstock 8½ x 9½ (I used Kraft), Scor Pal and Crop-a-dile.

Instructions:
1. Score the cardstock (9½ side) at 3, 4½, 7½ and 9.
2. Turn the cardstock (8½ side) at 1, 2½, 6½ and 8.
3. Cut as shown in the template.
4. Fold all the score lines.
5. Corner Rounder the flaps if you want
6. Decorate the box.
7. Glue the ½ inch tab and put it together. Do two holes with the Crop-a-dile at the top of the box.
8. Fill the box with Almond Joy (I created this box specifically for this ones) or
whatever you want.
9. Embellish as desired.
To decorate and embellished the box I used the Winchester Paper Collection, Brown Cardstock Strips, Spanish Sentiment Set and Neutral Twill.

DON'T forget the 25% off sale in the Discontinued Products TAC is having! Today I went to order some of my favorites cardstock and they WERE GONE!! So please hurry and get your stuff NOW! Go visit my store here under Discontinued products there is different categories, don't forget to check them all!

Lo siento mucho! Ayer no pude subir el "template" de la caja alta porque era domingo!!! y durante los domingos voy a la iglesia y luego con la familia. No es hasta después de la cena y recoger la cocina que vengo a ver mi e-mail y la internet, pero estaba tan cansada y sin energía para visitar mi blog, jeje!

De todas maneras aquí el "template y las instrucciones, espero lo puedas intentar!

Lo que necesitas para la caja:

Pedazo de cardstock 8½ x 9½ (En este caso azul), Scor Pal, Corner Rounder y Crop-a-dile.

Instrucciones:
1. Con la Scor Pal haz el “scoring” en el cardstock (del lado de 9½) a 3, 4½, 7½ y 9.
2. Gira el cardstock (ahora trabajaras en el lado de 8½) has el “scoring” a 1, 2½, 6½ y 8.
3. Corta según se ve en el template.
4. Dobla todas las lineas donde hiciste los “scoring”.
5. Con el Corner Rounder corta las aletas si deseas.
6. Decora la caja.
7. Pega la tableta de ½ pulgada para cerrar la caja. Has dos rotitos con la Crop-a-dile en el flap del tope de la caja (ver foto).
8. Llena la caja con dulces o utilízala para un regalo pequeño. Almond Joy (I created this box specifically for this ones) o lo que quieras.
9. Puedes añadir más embellishments si deseas.

Oopss! The Tall Boy Box!

Today was a LONG day! Lots of things to do and some problems to fix! (and memories to remember, I was enjoying my videos from Seminar, WE REALLY HAD FUN!!, lol). I was almost ready to sleep when I remembered that I have to post my BOX!! I told you so!!! so here it is!! This was a project I designed for Paper Wings. I create this box to give some chocolates to my DH for Father's Day!! don't tell him. Because that was my intention but I forgot to give it to him!! I was sooooo busy cooking and getting everything together to have a spectacular Father's Day! (I started on Saturday honoring my Father, do you remember?) Anyway I hope you can use it over and over is a great box and it looks fenomenal! I need to go to sleep! but hope you enjoy it! If it looks familiar with another one, yes!! This is the father of the Club Med Mini Box! I designed this one first and then I adapted to use only half of the cardstock to save a littel bit on it! I called this one Tall Boy Box!

Hoy fue un día SUPER LARGO! Muchas cosas que hacer y algunos problemas que arreglar! (y memorias que recordar, hoy estuve viendo algunos de los videos que grabé durante el Seminario, SI QUE GOZAMOS!! jeje). Estaba casi lista para dormir cuando recordé que tenía que poner la CAJA!! Les dije que lo haría, así que aquí está!! Este fue un proyecto que diseñé para Paper Wings. Creé esta caja para darle unos chocolates a mi esposo el Día de los Padres!! NO le digan pues esa fue mi intención pero se me olvidó!! Estaba tannnnnn ocupada cocinado y preparandolo todo para pasar un Día de los Padres especTACular!! (Recuerdan que empecé el sábado honrando a mi querido padre!!) De todos modos espero que puedan usar esta cajita una y otra vez pues de verdad que se ve fenomenal!! Okay, necesito irme a dormir, espero la disfruten! Si te parece familiar, es que es el papá de la Club Med Mini Box! Diseñé esta primero y luego la adapté de tal manera que la CM solo usará medio cardstock. Esta se llama Tall Boy Box!

Love,

Wednesday of Challenge! and Club Med Mini Box Template

Oh!! is time to share with you my Club Med Trade!! and challenge you to do one!! Yes my challenge TODAY is to do a mini box!! I love to do mini boxes, but you know that, right? This time I challenge myself to use a piece of 5½ x 8½ (yes a size of a card) I need to do 50 boxes and I want to spend as less as posible (sorry friends, is not that I am cheap I just want to save, lol, okay I am cheap, lol). Anyway, here is what I came with:

Start with a 5½ x 8½ cardstock (half the letter size cardstock as you do for an A2 card. Yes, you can get 2 Club Med Mini Box from one 8½ X 11 cardstock)

Use your Scor Pal for the scoring process; this is an AWESOME tool that I use over and over!

Score at 1½, 4 and 5 - from the 5½ side and at 3, 4, 7 and 8 - from the 8½ side. Then cut at the red doted lines and if you want corner rounder the top corners as you see on my box. Use a circle punch for the center and embelish as desired! Quick and Easy! You can ask the Red Hot Angels and my roomie Marie McLung that help me out with my boxes in Wichita (Thank you Yuki, Sharon and Tina you ALL are the BEST chicks)

The best way to do this is with a Scor Pal, but if you don't have one, just use your scoring tool or bone folder! no hard feelings for that!! I hope you can try this one and share with me here! Imagine all of the possibilities with this little box! Use your cupcake set for a Birthday, or the Flamingo set for Summer, or flowers for Mother's Day, you name it!! It's perfect for all ocassions!

Oh!! es tiempo de compartir mi intercambio del Club Med!! y retarte a que hagas una!! Si, mi challenge HOY es que hagas una mini cajita!! Me encanta hacer cajitas, pero tu sabías eso ya, verdad? pero en esta ocasión mi reto fue hacer unas cajitas super, pero con solo un pedazo de cardstock tamaño 5½ x 8½ (el tamaño de una tarjeta) pues necesita hacer 50 cajas y quería gastar lo menos posible (lo siento amigutias, no es que sea tacaña, es que quería ahorrar, okay soy tacaña, jeje) De todos modos, aqui lo que cree:

Comienza con un pedazo de cardstock tamaño 5½ x 8½ cardstock (Si, puedes hacer 2 cajitas con un cardstock 8½ X 11)

Usa tu Scor Pal para hacer los dobleces, la Scor Pal es una SUPER herramienta, yo la uso SIEMPRE!!

Haz los dobleces a 1½, 4 y 5 del lado de 5½ y a 3, 4, 7 y 8 del lado 8½. Luego corta en las lineas rojas entrecortadas. Si deseas puedes usar tu corner rounder en el borde de arriba para que se vea más lindo. Usa un punche de círculo para hacer el rotito del medio y decora como deseas! Rápido y Fácil! Pueden preguntarle a las Red Hot Angels y a mi roommate Marie McLung que me ayudaron a montar mis cajitas en Wichita (Gracias Yuki, Sharon and Tina ustedes son las mejores, jeje).

La mejor forma de hacer estas cajitas es utilizando la Scor Pal, pero si aún no tienes la tuya, usa tu herramienta de scoring o un bone folder! no me voy a molestar, jeje!!!! Espero que puedas intentar hacer una y compartirla aquí conmigo. Imagina TODAS las posibilidades con esta cajita! Usa el sello Little Cupcake o Fairy Birthday para cumpleaños, o los Flamingos para Verano, o flores para las Madres, simplemente es perfecto para toda ocasión!

Love,

Happy Day!! and a HOW to...

Hope you have a great day! I don't celebrate St. Valentine's day but I do celebrate Friendship and LOVE! so here is a lil something I did for my girls! I know it said Happy Valentine's day! sorry!! I didn't remember that I do have a stamp that said "Feliz Día de la Amistad" wich means Happy Friendship's Day!! (I just remember in this moment, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that happened when you have more stamps than what you really NEED!!, shhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell my DH!!, lol)

Well I hope you like my lil box! I did it just for this pretty cakes I found at the grocery store!! I couldn't resist them! I want to share my template with you! But I couldn't make it! so here I want to share the instructions and a picture so you can get the idea! I know you are not going to use this heart cakes and maybe you can't find them by now! but she (Little Debbie TM) have lots of fun cakes that I know will fit here! so start thinking on the next holiday! or a birthday goodie, or just a nice gift to someone special, or for a baby shower, or for whatever reason you want to use it and put a smile on someone face! I know my girls ENJOY it!

Here is how to: Little Heart Cake Box Template

You need an 8” X 7” piece of cardstock!

Then on your Scor Pal score (on the 8” side) at ½”, 3”, 4 ¼ ” here move your cardstock ¼ inch and score at 7” (the score should be at 6 ¾ but there is no line to score there).

On the other side (7”) the score have to be at 1 ¾ and 5 ¾ ” (here you need to move your cardstock and star at ¼ inch this way you score at 1 ½” and 6” because you don’t have a line to score at 1 ¾ and 5 ¾.

Then cut as you see on the second picture! And you are done with it. Pretty simple, but great box for those Little Debbie’s cakes!! Hope you enjoy it!

Love,
Diana
