I decided to use both The Secret Garden and A Place in Time papers to create a cute exploding box with a surprise inside!
Project Recipe:
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Adhesive - Scor-Tape
Papers - The Secret Garden and Place in Time both by Graphic 45
Border Punch - Martha Stewart Garden Lattice
Flower Die - My Favorite Things
Flower - Recollections
Lace - Hobby Lobby
Ribbon - Really Reasonable Ribbon
Start with a 12" square of cardstock, score at 4" and 8" and rotate and repeat.
Cut away the corners as in the photo.
For the lid use a piece of patterned paper 7 1/8" square, score at 1 1/2" on all sides. Snip as in the photo to form the flaps for the corners and add Scor-Tape to adhere.
Use your score-tool on the inside edges to make crisp corners on the lid.
Decorate as desired. I use cotton lace and ribbon on the edge and a flower centerpiece on the top of the lid.
I used accents from the paper pad on the inside.
From the Place in Time pad I used the calendar sheet to create a mini calendar as a surprise.
I hope I inspired to get creating with Scor-Pal and Graphic 45 and I hope you have enjoyed this week of projects.
