First – today is the last day to sign up for the May Paper Pumpkin kit (here).  You won’t want to miss this one with the cute die cut panels:

This is the box card I made for my mom’s birthday last month using the Number of Years stamp set and framelits.  The confetti is from a new punch available now for demonstrators, and June 1 for customers.

Instructions:

1.  Use a 9×5-1/2 piece of CS.  Score lengthwise in half (2-3/4) .  Turn, Score at 2-1/8, 4-1/4, 6-3/8, 8-1/2.

2.  Cut off part of flap and cut down half way.  Assemble box with Tear & Tape.  This post shows some more detailed photos of the assembly.

3.  Make 2 – inserts are 3-1/8 by 1-1/2, scored 1/2″ from each edge.  Place at top edge of box, play with the positioning, so the box will fold properly.

4. Add 4 DSP panels at 2-1/2 x 1-7/8.

5.  Add your punched balloons with tiny strips of window sheet and glue dots to the inserts as well as the front and back of the box.   I attached a tiny piece of baker’s twine to the glue dot and let it dangle.  You can also use butterflies, flowers etc.

This card fits a standard A4 envelope when folded.  I have seen other instructions online for a larger box card.
