Rick Adkins : umbrella punch

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you the next project in my Treat Week 2020 series. Treat Week is my week long series sharing different treat packaging and projects. Each day this week I will be sharing a new video tutorial along with coordinating blog post. For today's project I made this super cute box that's a great size. I used new projects form the Coordinating Product Release (Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper) that's coming on February 4, 2020, along with the Under the Umbrella bundle. This box will hold a lot of treats due to it's size. Which by the way measures 5" x 3" x 1 1/2", so you can see its a good size. Here's a look at my project.

I used one piece of cardstock to make this box. I used a piece of Blushing Bride for the pink box and Gorgeous Grape for the purple box. Both boxes was made with a piece of cardstock measuring 8 x 10 1/2". I scored each piece on the longside at 1 1/2, 4 1/2, 6, 9. Then I scored on the short side at 1 1/2 & 6 1/2. Once I had the cardstock cut and scored it was time to cute the designer series paper. For this box you need the following designer series paper; (2) 2 3/4 x 4 3/4, (2) 1 1/4 x 4 3/4. and (1) 2 3/4 x 1 1/4.

You will also need to punch out one of the umbrellas from the designer series paper (and I will go ahead and tell you that the design on the paper are not punch design friendly. You will have to cut the paper to get the design you want to punch out, they don't line up like the punch if that makes scenes. It does in my head but not sure if it is in the text.

To secure the box close I tied it shut with the Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon. I placed the sentiment on a 2" circle from Whisper White and then added one of the umbrella from the designer series paper popped up with a couple dimensionals. I love the designs in this pack of paper and the face that it coordinates with punches in the Mini Catalog and the Small Bloom punch from Saleabration. Dress up your paper crafts with the flowers, hearts, raindrops, and other patterns from the Pleased as Punch Designer Series Paper. Great card making paper, scrapbooking paper, and more.
