Former customer Stacey (her sis is now in my downline) created a Friendship Surprise Box which she shared with me. It’s amazing! The photos of Stacey’s masterpiece are in an album I created here in my blog called "Stacey’s Friendship Surprise Box". Stacey’s written directions are below. Gorgeous! Wouldn’t this make a great Mother’s Day gift??
· Cut your three, square layers for the box according to dimensions stated below for the layers. · Score each layer according to skoring measurement indicated (dotted line). Note: Scoring dimensions are different according to layer. · Cut out the four corners in each of the three layers (shaded areas). Set scraps aside for further layering. · Fold along scoring line. · Stamp and embellish the box as desired. Do not stamp anything in center square of the outer and middle layers as they will be covered. · Assemble box. Adhere the middle square of the middle layer to the middle square of the outside layer.
