Box with Scalloped Lid Tutorial

I have another video tutorial for you!  Yeah!!!  This video shows how to make this box with a scalloped lid.

Edited to add:  I used the 5-in-1 template to make this box.  This is a product that Stampin' Up! use to sell and it is now retired.  This was an item made exclusively for Stampin' Up! so no other company sells it.  You could try using a large can, plate, or some other round object to trace the scallops.



I originally learned how to make this box at Manager's Reception at leadership last year.  Kahanu Keawe was demonstrating how to use the 5-in-1 template and this was one of her projects.  I came home and immediately made one.  It's a very simple and elegant box design.  I love it.

Scroll down below the video for the measurements for the box.  I also have a couple of pictures of the boxes I made last year.  Enjoy!

Base of Box

• One piece of 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" cardstock.  Score it at 2 1/4" on all four sides.

Lid of Box

• One piece of 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" designer series paper.  Score at 1 5/8" on all four sides.
• Four pieces of 4 1/2" x 1 3/4" designer series paper for the corner scallops.
• One 30" piece of ribbon.
• I decorated the top of my box with a 3" x 3" card design.

Here are two boxes that I made last year.



I used the Happy Occasions stamp set and its coordinating Leaves and Swirls jumbo wheel to make this box--both of which are now retired. 



This box uses my favorite set--Roses in Winter.  I'm so sad this set is retired.  I still love it and use it.  Do you see something different on the bottom of the box?  I added feet!



These are flat glass marbles adhered with Glue Dots.  I'd love to see what you come up with after watching this tutorial.  Add a comment to this post so I can check out your creations.  ~Dannie

I got your packet you sent me on the stationary kit but didn't get the instructions with it. You have done a beautiful job of cutting out and scoring. I was so pleased but need the instructions also.

I just got back from vacation so this is a little late.
