Golden Wedding with a Boxelope Mini Tutorial

Good Evening,
I love it when you make projects using my tutorials but please be sure to link back here and give credit when you make and post to your blog.
Thank-you for your understanding and I hope you enjoy this tutorial xx
OK, I have made a newer version of this tutorial and posted about it  HERE, I think it explains it a lot better than I have here, I hope you enjoy :-)
I have another long post for you with another little tutorial, I am not sure if it will be of any use to anybody but as I was making the box/envelope I thought I would take pictures just in case ;-)

So, I was asked to make the Golden Wedding card for a friend and I liked the 3d of the flowers from Vintage Vogue I made for this card a while ago, I don't mind admitting I used Vintage Vogue so much for a while there I got a bit sick of it! but having said that I really enjoyed playing with it again this week :-D

I stamped 9 of the flowers in So Saffron cutting and layering them to make this 3d flower, tucking in some Very Vanilla satin ribbon in to make "leaves"

A close up of the small hearts with Basic Pearl centres and the inside,

Now to make a deep box/envelope using only 1 sheet of 12x12 card, I hope you can see I lightly marked the card at 6" then I lay the card so the corners were in line with the pencil marks, mark where they sit and join these up diagonally, I hope this makes sense...

cut corners away as shown here erasing the pencil lines at this point,

glue 3 of the 'flaps' to make the box and there you have it, ready for your 3D card, I would like to finish this off by tying this with a little more Satin ribbon but I don't know if it will be posted yet :-)

Well, I hope you like the card and this little tutorial is helpful to someone out there, let me know if you have a go ;-)

Thanks for stopping by today,

Stampin' Hugs,
