Craft Spa Tutorial

1.  Place  12”paper piece LANDSCAPE on trimmer

2.  Score at 2 ½”, 5”, 7 ½” & 10”

3.  Place  10”paper piece LANDSCAPE on trimmer

4.  Score at 2 ½”, 5”& 7 ½”

5.  Bone Fold 12” piece Valley, Mountain, Valley, Mountain

6.  Bone Fold 10” piece Valley, Mountain, Valley

7.  Apply ink to left side/edge of 10” strip if necessary
The Noble Peacock papers used here have a white core so better to ink up with some Noble Peacock ink – I just placed the edge onto the ink pad… and used a tissue to wipe away any excess ink ( as these papers are foiled so the ink will not sink into any foiled parts!

8.  Place 12” section to left and 10” section to right in front of you

9.  Adhere 2 together placing the left hand side of the RH 10” piece over the short width of the LH 12 piece”

10. Score both box panels at 1” on all 4 sides

11. Bone Fold and dart on 2 opposing sides

12. Punch larger box section (ie lid) on 2 longer sides with ¾” circle punch

13. Apply glue and adhere (smaller) Base Box

14. Apply glue and adhere (larger) Base Lid whilst on the Base…

15. Adhere sides of Main Card onto Box Lid and Box Base (my Lid is on the LHS, and Base on the RHS)

16. Decorate as necessary.
I die cut 4 Noble Peacock paper Old Olive letters and 4 Noble Peacock Foil Bermuda Bay letters (which are then embossed using the Tufted embossing folder for a bit of texture!)

But before I go... remember the Flash Sale tomorrow... for one day only...
