Luggage gift box tutorial

Luggage gift Box for mini Shots

Good morning Stampers and paper crafters, today I am sharing with you all a tutorial , fo a Luggage box for Small Shot bottles. This particular box can also be used with hand lotions, nail polishes, candy and more..It is picture heavy but I hope it helps.

First of I used Garden Green cardstock # 102584 from Stampin' Up! for the base of my box cut at

10 1/8 by 8 3/4 scored on the long side at

1 3/8~2 3/4~7 3/8~8 3/4

on the short side-

1 3/8~ 2 3/4~ 6~7 3/8

For the top of your box you need 9 5/8 by 8 3/8 Card stock~LID

scored on long side @

1 1/4 ~ 2 1/2~ 7 1/8~ 8 3/8

on Short side score @

1 1/4 ~ 2 1/2~ 5 7/8~ 7 1/8

I used Very Garden Green CS # 102584

For the wrap around for the box I used some of the new Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! Toile Tidings # 150432 in the holiday catalog which is launching on September 4th (need a catalog?? message me)

This piece is 10 and 1/2 by 4 and 1/2

..I did not score it, just wrapped around box , pressed on corners to make crisp edges and then used tear n rape to hold

For the Handle. I used garden Green again

Cut 5 and 3/4 by 1 and 1/2

score at 3/4 on Short side and then

long side 3/4 and then 1 and 1/2 on both ends

Fold and burnish all score lines and then cut out sections so your box pieces like picture shown. which ever end you decide to cut.. do the opposite side.. for example I line th uncut piece in front of me so the center of the card stock, will show the wide side of the box..

Add Tear and Tape #138995 to all four ends on the top section of each tab.. only two were shown here but I did all four sides... (this is in side of the box)

Then flip around the CS and then place Tear and tape as shown

now you can commence folding your sections...

When done, your box piece should look like this, make sure you burnish the box sides real good, it helps the 2 box pieces fit together better.

Now for the insert. I cut a piece of very Vanilla CS #144237 @ 8 and 5/8 by 4 and 1/2...fold on score lines so it looks like picture shown.

then glue bottom to inside of box bottom

Your next step is to punch out 4 1 and 1/2 inch circles.. score in 1/2 and then turn and score in 1/2 agin, then cut in half and glue to all the corners of your luggage box after you wrapped around the Designer series paper . Note :( when wrapping the designer series paper remember to glue the 2 ends to each other and not to your box, you are just wrpping so you can slide off the box to reveal the goodies inside.

For the handle..fold and burnish the score lines and then...

Add 2 strips of tear and tape to inside...fold in half and then fold score lines like picture above

attach the handle with a liquid adhesive..

Then you can add, buttons,,, or an element of your choice to the end pieces of the handle.
I chose to add elements from the Bird Ballad trinkets #149594
