Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter box

I love Burt’s Bees lip balm but I must admit that I’ve never used their cuticle cream.  However, I spotted some in a clearance section of a store recently and as usual I immediately thought, OOH I could make a pretty box for those!!

So here it is…

I decided to use my envelope punch board to make this one, just like the Hand Gel box I shared recently.

• My Pineapple Punch card measured 4 and 3/4 inches square.
• My first punch and score line was at 1 and 7/8th inches
• My second punch and score line was at 2 and 7/8th inches
• Turn the card 90 degrees and line up the pointer to the score lines you’ve just made and punch and score on the second edge
• Repeat this for the 2 other edges of the card
• I rounded 3 of the corners of the flaps I’d just created, again with the envelope punch board
• I then trimmed the remaining flap straight across to leave approx 1/2 and then rounded both corners of that flap
• I cut up the score lines beside the trimmed flap and the one opposite
• I burnished all the score lines to make it easier to fold the card into the box shape and used Multi-purpose glue to stick the 3 flaps I’d not trimmed together

Once the box was made it just needed to be decorated and I used some of my new Designer Series Paper that I bought in the Buy 3 get 4 promotion – I really love a bargain!!

I used Best Route as it features Pineapple Punch to coordinate with the card I’d used.  I only used a strip measuring 6 and 1/2 inches by 1 and 7/8th inches; so I’ve lots left of the design I chose to use later!

I scored it on the long side at 1 and 1/2 inches and started wrapping it around my box from the back.  I gently creased it at each edge and then once I’d finished I burnished them with my bone folder to get a neat fold.  I then glued this right round the box so the join was at the back.  To make it a bit easier to open the box I used my 1/2 inch punch to remove a notch from the front of the DSP,

I then stamped the Just For You sentiment from Rooted in Nature stamp set in Pineapple Punch ink onto Whisper White card.  I used my Layering Circles dies to cut this out and to also cut a scalloped circle of Mango Melody card as this is the other colour in the DSP.  I added the stamped circle to the Mango Melody one with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Finally I added a bow made from Pineapple Punch grosgrain ribbon and 3 clear rhinestones for a bit of bling.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project.  I’d love to hear your comments below.
