Spring is here and it’s Timeless Tulips time to create a fabulous Easter Orb Drop Box. The Easter orb I created is more like a dropped orb as it isn’t spherical. I so enjoyed created my own patterned paper with the Timeless Tulips stamp set and dusting the cobwebs off it! The last time I used this set was in April 2020! You can see the Easter Gate fold card I made with it HERE.
I’d already taken a picture of the orb drop when I realised that it lacked a focal point.
It was easily rectified by stamping a little label punched out with the Classic Label punch to say “Happy Easter”. There is a 1/8″ hole punched in each of the flaps for the closure of the box at the top, so I needed a ribbon that was soft and squishy! I had some Petal Pink striped organdy ribbon which fitted the bill and that’s how I chose my ink palette! Pastel Pink, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz which are the the Subtles family of colour.
I’ve made a video tutorial to de-mystify how you score and fold the box. It really isn’t as complicated as it looks and I hope you’ll have a go!
Tips on scoring
The solid lines represent cut lines, and the dashed lines represent the score lines. Blue shaded area represents the 2 small rectangles to be cut and discarded.
- Basic white (thick) 8-1/4″ x 5-¾” – score on short side first at 1″, 2″ and 3″
- Rotate card stock 180 degrees and score the other side at 1″
- Align long side at top, with the 1″ horizontal score line uppermost and score at every inch at 1″, 2″, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 7″, 8″.
- With card stock in same position, partially score at 1½”, 3½, 5 ½”, 7 ½”. Keep card stock in same position and run stylus down 1 ½” groove on score board and partially score at 1 ½” up to next scoreline (1″ from bottom edge of card stock). Repeat process at 3 ½”, 5 ½”, 7 ½”.
- Next you need to score diagonal lines in the rectangles directly below the as well as the squares at the bottom as shown in the diagram below.
