Book box set
I made a book box set for the March 2023 Challenges on the Gecko Galz Blog.
The set is made from white cardstock and blue patterned paper. First I made the book box out of an A4 sheet of white cardstock and trimmed it to 111/2 inch wide by 71/2 inch long then I made a one inch spine so that I had the room to fit in the box base when the book was closed.
The box base measures 6 inches in height by 4 inches wide. I glued the base down on the right side of the inside of the back cover. I then added ribbon to the side of the front cover of the book box and the back side so that the ribbon will be secure and will look neat when the blue patterned paper is added.
I made a small notebook to go inside the box base and decorated the cover using the image of the birds. The tag I made to fit inside the pocket on the left hand inside of the cover I added a pretty image of a rabbit.
For the lid of the box I used the pretty image of the fairy that has been provided for the Challenge. The blue paper on the lid, notebook and tag I lightly stencilled using a leaf stencil then adhered all the images by layering with blue and light green card and paper.
The little flowers I made using a metal die. Finally I added a light touch of glitter to all of the images and added little rhinestones to the centre of the flowers and the corners of the fairy image to give it all a finished look
