Wiper Card Box Picture Instructions

This is a supplement for my card kit Graphic 45 Catch of the day 

For this card I used a personal die to cut the base card, the Stamps of Life die, “Surprise Wiper Card Dies Set.”  I am using it to make a Wiper BOX Card.

Note:  I wanted this to fit in an A2 envelope, so I cut off a ¼ inch off the end without the scores!  

There is a Stamps of Life video if you would like to watch the box card being constructed

HOW TO IN PICTURES

           

1-      On the rectangle with the triangle scored on one corner: fold the score line

2-      Attach the sticker to the small rectangle with the triangle in the lower left (that will be the wiper piece of the card.)  Butt the top of the sticker to the top edge and left side of the wiper piece.  Trim excess around the sticker. Do not cover the triangle.  Cut away excess card stock on the top and right side of the sticker and any any part of the stick that would cover the triangle. Nothing should cover the triangle.  SEE the middle picture above.  If there is excess cardstock below the sticker DO NOT trim it off.  

3-      Turn the wiper piece over and put glue on the triangle ONLY.  Be careful not to have too much glue!

        

4-      There are two larger panels with 2 score lines, fold all of those score lines.  Since this card base is not made of pattern paper you will need to choose what is the inside of the card. 

On one of the large pieces with the score lines to the left you will see the indent of a slit, line up the bottom of the   rectangle with the slit as pictured above. Hold until the glue sets.

5-      Be sure when the wiper piece folded over it does not go over the score line as pictured

6-      When gluing the flaps, they need to be glued to the inside of the box so there are no seams on the outside.  Put glue on the left side as pictured.  Then lay the edge of the second large card base without the score lines to the flap.

 

7-      Laying the card/box flat put glue on the second flap as pictures

8-      Now bring the right side over to the left and press it flat.  The edges should meet perfectly, and it will easily lay flat when finished.

     

9-      After the glue settles your wiper box should be functional and ready to decorate.

 

WHAT TO DO NEXT
