Sized down Surprise Friendship box instructions

[creativechoicedesigns]

Here are complete instructions for a sized down mystery, fantasy, whatever box. I call this my Surprise Friendship Box. It is sized to fit on 8 1/2 x 11. For best results, don't cover with colored SU CS. It is too thick and hard to work with. I use two full sheets of sticker paper, or you could use SU wrapping paper. For the inside boxes, use one of the thinner SU CS, like the whisper white for the bottom of the small boxes and you can use the regular CS for the top. In the example with the blue roses,For the lid, I used a scrap 8" x 2 7/8" of the interior sticker paper, stuck it to a piece of white cardstock the same size then cut into 4 - 2" sections. Also If you want, you can place notes in the bottom of the small boxes, telling your friend what makes them special.

Have fun and post. Pam

Thanks Pam for posting your wonderful templates....your boxes definitely knocked my soxes off!!!

What I should have said was Full sheet labels. They are like address labels but with no perforations. Just make sure you stamp on the right side. I speak from experience. You can get them at any office supply store. I got mine from Viking when you could still get a deal. Pam
