Photo Box

Hi everyone, It’s Wednesday and that means I get to share some Wednesday inspiration for Heartfelt Creations with you!

Have you ever had a bunch of wallet sized photos that you were looking for a fun and decorative way to share?  I did, so I came up with the idea to have a box with space for 4 photos on the outside and as many photos in the inside as you desire!

Project Instructions:

Other products: White Card Stock, Grand Labels Four, Classic Chalks, Distressed Inks, Picot Edge Circles, Pearls and Ribbons from my stash and die cutting machine.

Instructions:

Start by creating a box 4″ Wide x 5″ High with a removable lid.  Cover it with your favorite designer paper and use the Cut, Mat, Create Set 2 and Cut, Mat, Create Set 2-B dies for the images on the sides of the box.  The top is created by adding a die cut from the Picot Edge Circles set and the Arianna Lace Die to make the flower!  For the inside I designed it so that it would hold a wallet sized photo on each frame.  To do this cut a 12″ x 3 1/2″ piece of paper and score it at the 3 1/2″ marks so it will fold.  Make as many pieces as you would like and simply attach them together to make the strips longer.  Finish the inside by attaching the strip of paper to both the bottom and top of the box so it folds like an accordion when the box is opened.

Thanks so much for popping by today, I truly appreciate it : )   I also love to read your comments, thank you so much!
