It’s episode 9 of 12 in my 12 week Christmas Countdown Series for 2022 and today I have a bespoke table favour using Framed Florets. In the Fitting Florets collection, there is a second stamped set called Framed and Festive which is only available for a limited time and only while stocks last.
I could’ve used the ovals as a tag but felt it was too large for the box so I combined it with the Celebrate with Tags bundle which I featured HERE some time ago.
I found these chocolate treats from our local grocery store. A very famous Michelin Star chef is in partnership with them and around special occasions there’s always something new created to tempt the palette. This time it is a hidden Christmas pudding orange and I thought they would make wonderful table favours.
Cutting guide
Metric measurements are in brackets. For this box I’ve made a precise conversion into metric rather than round it off because the box has to be a snug fit.
Box Base
- Cut a piece of Soft Succulent 5 ⅜” x 8″ (13.6 x 20.3 cm)
- Score all 4 sides at 1 ⅜” (3.5 cm)
Lid of Box
- Cut a piece of Soft Succulent 5-7/16″ x 8-1/16″ (13.8 cm x 20.5 cm)
- Score all 4 sides at 1 ⅜” (3.5 cm).
Lid liner
You need this to cover up the ribbon attached to the lid.
- Cut a piece of Soft Succulent 2 ½” x 5 ⅛” (6.4 cm x 13 cm)
Decorating Box lid
Glimmer paper Evening Evergreen
- Short lid sides : 2 pieces 1 ⅛” x 2 ⅜” (3 cm x 6 cm)
- Long lid sides : 2 pieces 1 ⅛” x 5″ (3 cm x 12.7 cm)
- Top of box lid : 1 piece 2 ⅝” x 5″ (6.5 cm x 12.7 cm)
- On trimmer, gut all pieces with ¼” margin on all 4 sides. This makes it easier to adhere DSP on to the glimmer paper plus you have the added bonus of recycling it on another project!
Fitting Florettes 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) DSP
If you wish your box lid to have a continuous pattern, cut the DSP the width of the box and add the total height together of all the pieces. Be mindful of the orientation of the pattern.
- Long sides+lid top : 3 ⅞” x 4 ¾” (9.8 cm x 12.1 cm)
- Orient DSP on the short side. Align left edge at ⅞” (2.2 cm) and cut – call it piece “A”
- Next align left edge at 2 ⅛” (5.4 cm) and cut – this will be the top of lid “B”
- Left over piece will measure ⅞” (2.2 cm) – the other side of box lid “C”.
- Short sides : 2 pieces cut at ⅞” x 2 ⅛” (2.2 cm x 5.4 cm)
Additional card stock required
- Soft Succulent scrap to die cut label
- Basic White scrap to die cut label
- Extra Evening Evergreen glimmer paper to die cut Framed Florets leaves and sprig.
