Love You Always Suite Tutorial - Christy Frank

Hello Stampers!

Happy New Year!

Now that the new January-June Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration have arrived, it really does feel like a joyful New Year! I am so looking forward to more creative time and the chance to connect with my friends, even if life isn't quite normal yet. I truly feel that any way we can share time together is better than missing the opportunity.

Speaking of opportunity, have you had the opportunity to check out the awesomeness that is the new January-June Mini Catalog? There are so many new things that I'm excited about that I just can't choose where to start.  New products, project inspiration, and ideas I'm looking forward to sharing with you!

This tutorial features the gorgeous Love You Always Suite. I think you'll love this treat box and mini card combo that you can use to give a treat to your sweetheart and other loved ones!

Happy Stamping!

The bigger size of the Love You Always Treat Box makes it perfect for creating a box with a built in mini card topper. This project is brimming with details that make it a gift that will be treasured.

The matchbox-style box can be assembled without any adhesive and comes in two pieces, the box and the sleeve. The sleeve is fully assembled just pop the flat-folded piece open.

  1. Fold the box on all scored lines.
  2. Fold the small tabs in and fold the side flaps over the tabs. The small end section flattens at the bottom of the box.
  3. Fold the shorter front section over and press the small end section flat at the bottom of the box.
  4. Fold the long back flap over the box opening.
  5. Press down so the short section folds inside the box and the long section flattens onto the bottom of the box. The tab at the end slides into the slot in the bottom corner to hold the box securely.
  6. Slide the box into the sleeve like a drawer.
