When I realized Thanksgiving is less than a week away, I knew what I wanted to do for my
SNSS Blog post for today! Every year my DH and I get invited to Thanksgiving dinner, and every year I make a table favor for everyone, so it was time for me to come up with this year's idea! Korin had just added a new "
Save the Turkeys" digi to the
SNSS Store that would be just perfect. I started playing around with the Spellbinders Label 10 die because the ends reminded me of turkey feathers...okay...maybe that's a stretch, but bear with me! This is what I came up with...AND...6 Hershey Nuggets or little cello bags of mixed nuts fit perfectly in this little favor box!
Here's how to make this cute little turkey box!
Step 1: Die cut the largest Label 10 die from card stock. Now would be a good time to add texture if you want. Center the die between the left end and the 6" mark on a Scor-Pal and score at 2 and 4 inches. (Or use whatever scoring tool you have.) Then turn the die vertically and score at the ends of the scallops on each side. Cut the tabs up to the score line as shown.
Step 2: Apply adhesive to the tabs on the right side of the die cut.
Step 3: Fold on all the score lines. Tuck the tabs in and adhere. At this point you can decorate your box...or...make a liner.
Step 4: Cut a complimentary piece of card stock 4 1/2" X 4 1/2". Score at 1 1/4" on all four sides. Cut corner tabs to score line and add adhesive to the tabs on the right side of the box.
Step 5: This is what you end up with. This liner will tuck perfectly into the little die cut box. I added some adhesive to the bottom to hold it in place.
Step 6: I decorated my box by cutting a piece of DP with the next size smaller die and wrapped it around the box. The great thing about digi images is that I was able to size the turkey to fit the box perfectly! The "Save the Turkey" image was colored with copic markers, cut out, and popped up on the front of the box. A 6" piece of ribbon was adhered to the sides of the box and buttons were added for decoration.
And there you have it! Be sure to check out all the other new digs and wonderful stamp sets at
