Good morning sweet friends! Feeling better and will make it back to 100% soon but in the meantime, it sure felt good to finish up some of the crafty things I started. Thanks for all the wonderful, wonderful comments about my new dies! Several of you are asking when they will be available and I’ll pass the information along as soon as I receive it from Spellbinders. In the meantime, several of you have left comments on my posts here and in Facebook and have emailed me that you were already able to purchase them at Create and Craft TV in the UK and the new Create and Craft TV in the United States (google is your friend). I’m not sure how many they have in stock but it seems that quite a few of you have hopped over there and picked them up. Thank you so much!
This week I’m beginning a three day series called One Box – Three Occasions. It’s a series of posts to show you how easy it is to change up the look of a box to suit several occasions. Common throughout all three days is a filigree box I designed; I use the same die to construct the box as well as to complement and add accents. Today is the elegant day – of course gold had to come first. I’ve been a gold girl from day one, even when it wasn’t cool to love gold and hallelujah, now it’s a trend. This pretty gold and white box will do well to house a gift or some decadent chocolate or any classic favor.
The box measures 5-3/8″ tall and is 2-3/8″ wide and deep. It is made using Spellbinders Gate Element and Spellbinders Labels Twenty Seven. Inside the box are four little tall cards that measure 2-1/8″ wide by 5-1/4″ tall. They are small enough that they can be used for a quick thank you or as enclosure cards. If you can glue and score, then you can make this box – I promise. Here’s a video to show you how! (Please forgive my voice, I’m still getting over a cold smackdown)…
| CRAFT SUPPLIES I USED |
| Stamps: None Craft Paper: Bazzill Smooth White 12″ x 12″ Paper, The Fine Touch Metallic Poster Board Ink: None Accessories: Spellbinders Gate Element and Spellbinders Labels Twenty Seven, May Arts Silk Ribbon, Pearl Button, Glossy Accents for adhesive. |
Easy right!?! You’ll have to come back tomorrow and see how I change it up!! Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Gorgeous project – glad to hear you are feeling better. Travel can cause such turmoil to our bodies!
Becca, first of all I hope you get better real quick! Your creations just blow my mind. They are always, always beautiful and your videos are so informational. Watching them makes me want to RUN into my art room and create. Thank you for all you do to help us paper crafters become better at what we love to do:)
[…] Good morning sweet friends! Today is day two of the series One Box, Three Occasions; the occasion I chose to use is Valentines Day. How often do you need to send a card and have a little box for goodies – that alone made Valentines Day a good choice, plus it’s coming soon! The box is the same as the box I created yesterday using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Seven except this time the Spellbinders Gate Element is oriented differently and it makes all the difference in the world. So easy and so different looking in red and white. If you want to know how to make the original box – instructions can be found on this post: https://www.amazingpapergrace.com/one-box-three-occasions-day-1/ […]
Love the box! Super elegant! So glad you will be doing more videos because as they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words” and makes it so much clearer to understand. Also, you present instructions perfectly and at a perfect speech rate.
How clever to used these dies like this…and I’ve never seen these cards…but I love them…thanks for sharing….
I must get this die, it’s just so gorgeous and delicate!! Love this box too Becca, what a magnificent gift this would make for someone special.
Thank you so much for sharing and lots of healing ~~~~~ for you!!!
Hugs.
I knew I loved this die, but didn’t know how I would use it. Problem solved. You always have the most brilliant ideas Becca. Gorgeous Box, looking forward to seeing the next two as well.
Hugs,
Marcie
Hi Becca
Stunning project, thank you for all the time you have taken considering you are not 100%. – wishing you better, great video by the way x x x
Hope you continue to feel better with each passing day. The cards and box are beautiful. You always amaze me.
So elegant! Love how intricate your die is Becca! Gorgeous!
I also purchased your new dies on Create and Craft US and can’t wait to get them1 The little box and matching cards that was shown on the “live from CHA” shows is lovely. I have so many ideas for these dies.
Becca,
This box and matching mini cards is stunning!!!! I love that gold… and I love the elegance of this box! Thank you for sharing!
Hugs,
Jo

These boxes are simply elegant! Can’t wait to get my hands on the dies and get started!
A beautiful project. And, yes, I have purchased the Arched Elegance set from Create and Craft and look forward to using those dies. I have a question – when you are making the cards to go in the box, an adhesive has been applied to the back of the gate element die cut and you pull it off in order to apply the cut to the card. What adhesive is this? xyron?
I love the shades of pink birthday card as well as all the rest that are displayed. They are all beautiful.
I love your ideas. When you do a video, I am more inclined to do the project.
