Fabulous Envelope Box Card




Hi there! Today I'm here with a Guest Designer project for Tres Jolie Kit Club using the 

Cards, Tags and More Kit for September.


I am creating an envelope box card.


To create the envelope box, I am using an envelope punch board. 




A piece of the white card stock included in the kit is cut down to 

8 1/4 x 8 1/4 inches. 


Begin by lining up one side of the card stock on the board with the left side at 4 1/4 inches, score along the A score line and punch. Slide over to 5 1/4 inches, score and punch. Turn to the opposite side and repeat.


From here, turn the piece of card a 1/4 turn, line the left side at 3 inches, score and punch. Slide over to 4 inches, score and punch.  Turn to the opposite side. Line the left side up at 3 inches and punch. No scoring this time. Slide to 4 inches and punch.




Fold and burnish all the score lines.





The side with no score lines is the top of the box. We need to cut tabs on the opposite side where a small square is formed between score lines. Cut on the score line up to the interior score line. Do this on both sides of the bottom flap.




Next we will cover the inside of the card with one of the papers from the kit and the flaps with a solid card stock.

Cut the patterned paper to 5 1/8 x 6 inches. Mark the center of the top, which is 2 9/16 inches and each side at 2 1/2 inches from the top. Cut diagonally from the top mark down to the marks on either side.

Adhere to the top.


I rounded the corner on the top and on the bottom flap.




Some die cutting was done to finish the top edges of the box using the die that came with the kit.




To cover the bottom  flap, cut a piece of card stock 5 1/8 x 3 inches. Mark the top of the 5 1/8 inch side same as above at 2 9/16 inches and the sides are marked at 2 1/2 inches. Cut from top center mark down to the marks on either side. 


For the side flaps cut cut stock 3 1/2 x 2 inches. Mark center of 3 1/2 inch side at 1 3/4 inches and the sides at 1 3/4. Cut as above.


Adhere these pieces to the flaps.


Now we’re ready to fold up attach the bottom flap to the 2 side flaps to form the box.



Now I am adding a little more of the patterned paper to the outside of the box. I cut 2 1 x 8 inch pieces from the piece left. These are wrapped around and adhered to the lower portion of the box. Trim the extra off.



Then I added a piece of the lace that came with the kit along the top edge of the strip of patterned paper around the box.



Two more die cuts are added to the card.



One of the toppers from the kit is added to the front.



Time to add elements to the inside and front side of the box.


First I cut a piece of card stock to 1/2 x 6 1/8 inches. I scored from both ends at 3/8 of an inch. this piece is attached to the inside to hold pop-up elements.



Before adding pop-ups I added a large topper to the back with foam tape.



I chose some flowers to fussy cut from papers and cut aparts included in the kit which will be added to the inside of the box.



Fussy cutting was done. I pulled out 3 of the blue Prima flowers in the kit and die cut some berry sprays. All of these will either be popped up by attaching to acetate strips and adhering to the 1/2 inch wide strip inside the box or glued and or popped with foam tape. 



Add elements to the envelope box and we are done!
