Stamp Act: The WHOLE Enchilada!!!

Well, it only took 3 days for me to finish this challenge! It was a really busy week and now, my kids are officially out for summer break! You know what that means!! My UNINTERRUPTED stamping time has been cut down immensely!! LOL!!! There is a good side to this though ~ I don't have to drive to and from school 4 times a day AND I do get to spend time with my kids! Remind me of this post in a month or so!!! LOL!!! Anyway, Monday's technique challenge was to make a card holder with some 3x3 cards and envelopes. On the thread for this challenge, HERE, there are envelope and box templates that you can use. I altered my own based on my box HERE. I basically made it larger and will give you the dimensions in this post!
The note cards were made using Bashful Blue and Chocolate Chip cardstock cut 3" wide and 6" long. I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder on the front of each card. I then added white organdy ribbon and a little green ribbon on the top of the card. The focal image is a cupcake stamp from Imaginisce and can be found HERE! I stamped it on Shimmery White cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink and then cut each one out using my Nestie's. I colored the cupcake holder with my Prismacolor Pencils and for the frosting, I used Elmber's glue and added Martha Stewart white glitter. The dots around the cupcake, candle and flame were "colored" using Cinnamon, Lime Green, Waterfall and Yellow Stickles HERE! I matted the cupcakes with either Chocolate Chip or Bashful Blue cardstock which I also cut using the Nestie's. The scalloped pieces again were cut with the Nestie's in which is used the front and back of THIS Imaginisce paper. I matted these on the front using dimensionals. You can't see the inside of the cards but they were stamped using THIS stamp!

The box was made using THIS paper (for the lid) and THIS paper for the base. I did the tag the same way I did the ones on the cards. I punched a hole and tied it on the top using Natural Hemp. The ribbon is SU! Chocolate Chip satin with grosgrain edges. Here are the dimensions of the box and lid ~

Base ~

Cut a piece of cardstock 10" x 10". Score at 3 5/16" & 6 11/16". Rotate and score again to make a box. You can refer to my dino box to see how it is folded. If you have a Scor-pal, you can score the base this way ~
Score down one side, rotate, score again and do the same 2 more times. Again, look at my dino box to see how it is cut. I hold the sides together with Sticky Strip. The cards and envelopes fit perfectly inside this box.

For the lid, cut a piece of cardstock ~ 6 X 6 and score at 1 1/4" and 4 3/4". The measurements are easy enough to figure out on any scoring tool!

I then tied my bow and tied the cupcake tag on. Here is a close up of the box ~
I think I covered everything but if I didn't, please don't hesitate to ask questions!
