Monday BLOG HOP for Mark’s Finest Papers

Featuring Mark’s Finest Papers new set “JUST DANDY” available NOW!!
For this blog hop I decided to make a box and 4 note cards.
My colors are Black and Markie’s Strawberry Milk.
I inked the image and sentiment in Palette Noir/black.
For one of the corners I used a shell shaped corner punch.
In the center of the Dandelion I added a soft pink half pearl and 3 tiny half pearls in the corners.
On the box lid I also added a silk flower with half pearl center.

The dimensions of the cards are 3" by 4".
The box is 3 1/4 by 4 1/4
To make the box top I cut black cs 5 3/8 “ by 6 3/8"., score 1" all 4 sides.
To make the box bottom I cut black cs 5 1/4" by 6 1/4". score 1" all 4 sides.

Cut only one of the 1" fold on each side and bend them, this will allow you to fold and glue the tabs to the sides of the box. Then just fit the top over the bottom to form your box.
I hope you can understand these instructions as I don’t know how to make a template. LOL

I hope you like my little note box and cards.

Good luck to all of the Blog Hoppers today, Nicky
