Today I'm going to give you a little something to help you with your St Patrick's Day preparations.
I have a multi-fold card and a cute little treat box, just perfect for the celebration!

Patterned paper of your choice
Image - New Years Edwin

Instructions:
For the card we start with a piece or card stock 6" by 12". Along the 12" side score at 2", 4". 8" and 10" and fold as in the photo.


Decorate the panels as desired



Make a belly band for the card with a piece of card stock 2" by 9". Score along the 9" side at 7/8" and at 5", score and join the ends at the overlap. Decorate as desired.


For the base of the box start with a piece of card stock 7" by 6". Score all sides at 2" and snip each corner as the photo to form a flap to make the box.


Use Scor-Tape on the flaps to form the base of the treat box/bag.


Form the base of the box as in the photo. Burnish the inside corners for a crisp finish.

New Years Edwin looks great as a Leprechaun and I hope I have inspired you to create something for St Patrick's Day.

Tiny Take Out Box by Tya Smith


Hello everyone! I was really excited about the assignment that we were given for this month to give our take on a project from the existing projects on Scor-Pal.com. Before I was on the Design Team, I was constantly trying out all of these projects on my own and loved all the many talented designers that added their talents to the website.

I decided to do my project based on the Tiny Take Out box designed by the incredibly talented Beate Johns. Here is a link to the original post : Tiny Take Out Box.

I added a little St. Patrick's Day twist to my box since that fun holiday is just around the corner. (Plus any excuse to add some chocolate to ANY project is a plus in my book!) :) Here is a peek at the project:


 Supplies used:
8x8 black cardstock
Border Punch
 (2) 2  1/2 inch Scallop Cirlces (Used Echo Park Kiwi Tiny Dot)
(1) 2 inch circle
(2) 1 x 2 inch banners ( used Echo Park Kiwi Small Dot on the Stripe Side)
12 inchs gold tuelle
Pop Dots
Glitter Shamrock Button
28 gauge gold wire
Wood Skewer
Candy

Here are the Steps to make your own:

Step 1- take 8x8 Black Cardstock and score at 1, 3, 5, and 7 inches


Step 2:
Turn paper and score again at 1,3,5, and 7 inches in the other direction.


Step 3:
Cut off outer panels of the box as shown. Make sure to leave the center section intact. These will be the sections we fold over.


Step 4:
Turn the box on the diagonal and line up with the 6 inch mark. Scor each of these sections on all 4 corners of the box up to the intersecting score line as shown. 



Step 5:
Using a border punch - punch out the border on all of the taller sections of the box.


Step 6:
Trim off the sections that you scored on the 6 inch line as shown. These are the sections that fold into the inside of the box.


Step 7:
Fold all of the score lines so you have nice, crisp lines to work with. Add adhesive to the inside sections of the box as shown:


Step 8:
Add adhesive on ONE side of the inner flaps as shown inside the box, and glue these down. Take the wooden skewer and place it into one of the chocolate candies. Glue this candy to the bottom of the box with Scor-Tape.


Step 9:
Add Dimensional Adhesive to the outside flaps of the box on all 4 sides as shown.


Step 10:
Add gold tulle ribbon and tie around the box with the bow in front.Add the rest of the chocolate candies.


Step 11-
Add the (2) 2 1/2 inch  Scallop circles to the front and back of the skewer. Add the 2 inch white circle to the front of one of the scallop circles. Type a fun, festive sentiment ( I used fonts Expo and Amelie for my example.) Add green glitter shamrock button and thin gold wire to the sentiment.) Add the (2) 1x2 inch banners to the bottom of the scallop circles.


 Happy Scoring!
