Champagne luxury in a pentagonal box using the Modern Garden bundle. In episode 9 of 12 time to break out the champers! Who wouldn’t love to receive a festive tipple? The Modern Garden bundle is part of Garden Walk Suite in the Sep-Dec 2023 mini on pages 52-54. The bundle comes with the Modern Oval punch instead of dies.
This suite has the Garden Walk 6″x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) DSP pack and carries 6 sheets of 8 double sided designs which is a little unusual. Most of the other 48 sheet 6″x 6″ packs usually only have 4 each of 12 double sided designs. I quite like the fact that there are fewer designs, but more sheets of each design.
I had originally intended to design this box as an integral squash lid box, but because there were 5 sides to the box, it didn’t work out. However, you can still squash the lid down and tie a ribbon round the neck with an equally pleasing effect. Let me know what you think.
Cutting guide
The Pentagonal Imperial box version works out smaller than the Metric version.
*Note that in the US/Canada the paper size is 8 ½” x 11″. You can still make it with the same scoring measurements. Trim card stock to 8″ x 11″. The squash lid will be ¼” shorter.
- *Box Base : 8” x 11 ¼” ( 21 cm x 29.5 cm).
- Scoring Box Base : Short side on top score at 1 ½”, 3”, 4 ½”, 6”, 7 ½” (4 cm, 8 cm, 12 cm, 16 cm, 20 cm). Long side score at 1 ½”, 7 ½”, 8 ¼”, 9” (4 cm, 20 cm, 22 cm, 24 cm).
- Mat layer #1 Wild Wheat : 5 pieces cut at 1 ¼” x 5 ¾” (3.5 cm x 15.5 cm)
- Mat layer #2 DSP – 5 pieces 1″ x 5 ½” (3 cm x 15 cm). Tip: If you want a continuous pattern, establish which way up your paper should be, and trim ½” off bottom. Trim each 1″x 5 ½” strip as you need it to adhere to Mat layer #1 on your box base as required. This way you can be sure that they are in order.
- Pentagonal base Poppy Parade : 3″x 3″ (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm)
- Scraps of Wild Wheat and Very Vanilla card stock for stamping floral elements and label.
