Two-Color Bouquet Box

There’s nothing like seeing the first signs of green for Spring that bring hope! I created a simple box with a tone-on-tone gray cardstock to show off my two-color bouquet of white Queen Anne’s Lace and Mock Orange.

Flap Box

1. I prefer to use 100 lb./300 gsm cardstock for my box and I chose a graphite gray and a gray/white DSP to use as the background. You’ll need two 12″ x 12″ sheets to cut the box.
2. The base is cut 12″ x 6″ and scored, with the 12″ side up at, 1/2″ – 2″ – 10″ – 11 1/2″
3. Turn this section with the 6″ side up and score at, 4″ – 5 1/2″
4. You will trim away the sections shown in Red.

5. The flapped section is cut at 9″ x 11 1/2″, and scored, with the 11 1/2″ side up at, 1/2″ – 2″ – 6″ – 7 1/2″

6. Turn this section with the 9″ side up and score at, 1/2″ – 8 1/2″ and trim away the sections in Red!

For the DSP:

(2) 3 3/4″ x 7 3/4″

(1) 1 1/4″ x 7 3/4″

(2) 1 1/4″ x 3 3/4″

Tune in to my Facebook page–Susan’s Garden Club 2–and I will show how to put this box together and decorate the top!
