Halloween Box Card

Remember the Box card Josie made for me last month? Well, I decided to make one for my tea swap partner Annie in Denmark. October's tea swap theme is Halloween or the colors purple/black/orange.

I used Imaginesce paper, rats border punch by Martha Stewart, Basic Grey Rubon, Border punch by Stampin' Up and Martha Stewart.

So, do you want to make one of your own? I recommend Arlene's video here. I thought it was the best one out there. Her technique requires no adhesive, just a bunch of origami folding.

Here is the card I made which fits nicely inside the box.

I believe Arlene's beautiful box card measures 4 x 4. My finished box measured 3-1/4 x 3-1/4, measured up from Josie's 3 x 3 box to fit the tea bags I was sending.

The measurements I used to create my box are:

Base: 6 1/4 x 9 1/4
Landscape side: score 1-3/8" and 3" from both ends
Portrait side: score 1-1/2" from both ends.
Then follow folding instructions from Arlene's video.

Happy creating!

Papertrey blog hop

I don't usually do this kind of thing but as soon as I saw the inspiration, a light blub went in my head and I love this company!

So, here's the inspiration:


and here is my card:


The card actually looks like there is black on it but it is really dark brown. TFL!

New Look

I was tired of the old look so determinedly I sat down and proceeded to design our new look. Graphics by Ettes Bliss Collection.

We also want to take the time to thank you for visiting us at the Little Paper Studio!

Have a great day!
