Spring Chorus, the April kit.

I hope you came her after seeing

If you lose your way, you can always go back to

the Club Scrap Create Blog

where all the blogs are listed.

I have an explosion box for you this time.

Spring usually is an explosion of

flowers, only this year it is still very

cold and all flowers are late.

So thanks for paper flowers!!

When you take of the lid of this box, you see layers of

paper, where you can add photo's amd i want to share

with you how to make this box.

You need 3 layers of paper:

1. 12x12 inch

2. 10,5 x 10,5 inch

3. 9 x 9 inch

and this is the lid made out of 8 x 8 inch paper.

The lid is scored all around at 2 inch.

And you can see where to cut, so you can

glue the border to make the lid fit the box.

Now how to score the papers:

1. score around at 4 inch

2. score at 3,5 inch

3. score at 3 inch

As you can see on the picture you have to cute out

 4 of the square corner pieces.

Now you can start decorating:

This is the outside paper.

I used the stencil and light green acrylic paint.

I also stamped on it with white ink

and the musical notes UM stamp.

On the other side I made triangular pockets

out of the square corners I cut out of the

2nd layer.

The 2nd layer is decorated paper

and leav it like this for photo's.

The 3rd layer is stamped with 3 colors

of green and a sentiment.

When all layers are on top of each other,

the last layer is the one with the flowers.

For this you need a square of 2,75 x 2,75 inch.

For the flowers you need a transparent

plastic sheet: 4x 0.5 x 3,75 inch.

Fold half an inch on both ends. on top one way

and on the bottom the other way.

Make 4 slits with an exacto knife in the paper

square. Through these holes you fit the four

stems of the flowers.

For the flowers I used the cut outs that  came

with the kit. I samped musical notes on the

flowers with blue ink and yellow around the border.

The gemstones in the heart of the flower

also came with the kit.

Here a close up of the lid of the box.

The text is one of the stickers that came with the box.

Around the lid there are the ribbons and the jute.

Here you see the layers of the box.

The squares that were cut of the 3rd layer

are used as tags in the corner pockets.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog.

Hope you found some inspiration.
