Box #18

Posted by Jen Cramer

Today I'd like to feature Box #18 -- a unique vertical box that comes in three assembled sizes:

Jumbo  1 1/4"w x 1 1/4"l x 3 5/8"h
Super Jumbo  1 3/4"w x 1 3/4"l x 5 3/16"h
Giant  2 1/2"w x 2 1/2"l x 7 3/8"h

Both the jumbo and super jumbo sizes are our most popular. Let's take a look at a few examples of the jumbo size first.

I love the design of the Spring Box on the left and how Traci glued the two half-circle flaps down to create such a nice effect. That's a great idea when you want to let someone see what's inside without having to open the box. The Sweet Bon Bon Box on the right is classically wrapped up with a ribbon and tiny tag.

The next size up is the Super Jumbo size, which makes a box 5 3/16" high. This Button Top Party Favor Box would be great for favor boxes at a child's birthday party.

And the largest size we offer is Giant. It requires larger than 12" x 12" paper but I do want to show you the technique used on this Pink & Inked box that can be used on any size box.

The box is cut out of AccuCut's clear plastic sheets. After removing the protective film, you use Ranger Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks to add color to the outside of the box. You'll be amazed at how fast that ink dries on the clear plastic!

I like to scrapbook, but my true love is quilting and I have heard you can use accu cut for quilting also and would love to see and hear more about this.
