SUDSOL BLOG TOUR TODAY!!!

Hi Stampers:
This is an exciting day!  It's SUDSOL BLOG TOUR DAY!!  I get to tell you about SUDSOL and show you a project that I created from instructions in the VAST SUDSOL projec files!!  SUDSOL is 15 years old and I think I have been a member for about 14 years.  SUDSOL is the 24/7 Upline for EVERY Stampin' Up! demonstrator.  If you want to try SUDSOL for 2 weeks, click on THIS LINK and you'll be taken to my referral link.
On to my project for today!!  In the SUDSOL Creative area I had been looking for an envelope style box to hold 5-1/2" X 4-1/4" cards and envelopes.  One of our creative members posted a tutorial of just such a box, so I read the tutorial, wrote down the measurements and went to work!  And here's what I created:


 This box is so easy to create with the Simply Scored tool plus the Diagonal Score Board.  The finished box is 6-1/2" wide by 5" high and is almost 1-1/2" deep.  You start with a 12 X 12 piece of cardstock or Designer Paper & cut to 11" X 11", scored, folded, adhered together and voila!--a darling card box for a gift or to keep to store cards.  It will hold at least 4 cards plus envelopes, and I actually was able to put 6 in it for a test.  To go along with the box, I created 4 matching cards:


You'll notice I used the same type of medallion on the cards as I used on the box.  The flap of the box is held closed by tucking it behind the medallion.  Here's a close-up of the medallion:

And here's a list of supplies for this project:

12 X 12 Core'Dinations card stock in Primrose Petals
81/2 X 11 Primrose Petals card stock
Very Vanilla card stock
Tea for Two Designer Series Paper
Oh, Hello stamp set (I used the clear mount)

Ovals Framelits
