I have for you today a piece of art created with the Stampin’ Up! Fancy Favor Box Bigz XL Die. While creating my Fancy Favor Box, I decided I wanted to give it a fall theme. Therefore, I chose to use the beautiful Spice Cake Designer Fabric to make the box.

Cut a 6″ x 11″ piece of Tangerine Tangle Card Stock.

Place it onto the Fancy Favor Box Die and run through the Big Shot.

Adhere the Spice Cake Designer Fabric to the Fancy Favor Box, EXCEPT cut out the section (leaving the flaps) that would cover the front glitter portion.

-
Cut a 2-1/8″ x 3-1/16″ piece of Tangerine Tango Card Stock and adhere it to the inside bottom of the box.
HANDLE
-
Cut a 1″ x 10″ piece of Pool Party Card Stock and a 3/4″ x 10″ piece of Tangerine Tango Card Stock.
- Place the piece of Pool Party Card Stock at the top portion of the Fancy Favor Box die and run through the Big Shot to get an edge that is identical to to top edge of the Fancy Favor Box.
- Turn the card stock over and cut the other edge.
- Cut a 3/4″ x 10″ piece of Spice Cake Designer Fabric.
- Place Sticky Strip onto the 10″ length of the 3/4″ x 10″ piece of Tangerine Tango Card Stock.
- Place the center of the 3/4″ x 10″ piece of Spice Cake Designer Fabric over the Sticky Strip and adhere it to the card stock.
- Turn over the piece of card stock and attach Sticky Strip on the length of the card stock.
- Turn one side of the fabric over onto the Sticky Strip.
- Place Sticky Strip onto the fabric that was just turned over
- Turn over the other side of the fabric and adhere it to the card stock.
- Place Sticky Strip to the center of the 10″ length of the Pool Party card stock.
- Place the fabric piece onto the center of the Pool Party card stock and assure it adheres well.
- Punch or pierce a hole about 3/8″ from the ends of the piece.
- Insert a Pool Party Designer Printed Brad into the holes.
- Punch or pierce a hole about 1/2″ from the top of both box sides.
- Insert the brads into these holes, which attaches the handle.
FRONT PANEL DECORATION:
- Using various Stampin’ Write Markers (greens, oranges, etc.), cover the Tweet Leaves stamp with ink.
- Stamp the image onto Very Vanilla Card Stock and cut out the image (Optional – I traced the cut out onto More Mustard Card Stock and cut it out about a 1/16″ from the tracing to create a mat).
- Using adhesive foam dots, attach to the front of the box.
- Decide what you want to put into the box and decorate according. I wrapped a small box of candy to put inside the box and tied it with ribbon and a flower made with the Spice Cake Designer Fabric.
