Scallop Envelope Box

by Jane Matsumoto

Create a darling box with four scallop edge envelopes.

Supplies

  • Four 5" x 5 1/2" pieces of cardstock or patterned paper
  • One 2 3/16" x 12" strip of patterned paper
  • Scallop Envelope Bigz Die (Stampin’ Up®)
  • Big Shot™, or other die cut machine
  • Adhesive
  • Stamps
  • Ink
  • Additional cardstock or patterned paper

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Cut your four 5" x 5 1/2" pieces of cardstock with the Bigz Scallop Envelope Die and Big Shot.

  2. Step 2

    Crease all scored lines.

  3. Step 3

    Add Scor-Tape™ along one of the side tabs of each die cut.

  4. Step 4

    Adhere one die cut to the next.

  5. Lay the project flat.

    Hint:
    You can adhere the inside tabs to the panels, but this may make creasing the box after the next step more difficult.

  6. Step 5

    Adhere the patterned paper to the die cut strip.

    Start on one end, approximately 1 1/4” from the edge (creasing as you go). You will have 1 1/4” of the patterned paper sticking out past the other end.

  7. Put the last two tabs together and then adhere the rest of the patterned paper.

    Variation:
    After putting the box together, start adhering patterned paper on one end and wrap all the way around (creasing as you go). Finish on the same panel you started with, but expect a small gap. The 12” of patterned paper will not cover the entire front.

  8. Step 6

    Tuck the bottom flaps (not scalloped) over each other and tuck the bottom edge of the last flap into the box.

  9. Lift each flap and adhere using either double-sided tape or glue dots.

  10. Step 7

    Decorate the front as desired.

From one Jane to another, what a wonderful video! You did a great job.

Jane, Thank you for the tutorial, it was very easy to understand. I made the box immediately because I wanted to know the finished size, 3 1/4 x 3 1/4. What a great idea for a single Easter egg. Peggy

I found a way to not have the two inside tabs from sticking out and did not have a problem with the paper crease. You cut off one of the side tabs always on the same side. Next glue the remaining tab to the next envelope on the side without a tab. I have photos here. http://tarheelstamper.blogspot.com/2010/01/stampin-up-scallop-envelope-bigz-die.html

Thanks for the tutorial! It's always fun to get new ideas with the die cuts-especially one as cute and useful as this one!

To avoid cuts in scored lines when cutting multiples with the Big Shot, use a Standard Premium Crease Pad. It is worth it!

Lori: I saw your question on whether this die could be used in the Cuttlebug -- yes, it can. You put a B plate down, then the scallop envelope die (cutting blades/foam side up) card stock, and another B plate. In lieu of the second (top) B plate, and in order to cut multiple pieces of card stock in one pass, you can use the crease pad as Ellen pointed out or, if you have the tan embossing mat for use with Spellbinders dies, you can use that. If using the crease pad or tan embossing mat with your Cuttlebug, you may need to add a bit of scrap card stock or chipboard as a shim. I hope that helps!

Awesome! This is so cute! TFS!

Great tutorial. This is a great way to extend the creativity and usefulness of the die. This tutorial reminds us to think outside the box. It gives me ideas and I will be using it to make this and maybe I'll come up with something new as well. So interesting!

For those asking about the stamp it looks like one of the characters from the British company Lili of the Valley.
they have some lovely images!

Any chance of getting a PDF or jpeg of template as dies are harder to come by in Australia, please.
Love the box and great tutorial.
Cheers Vicki
