Big Shot Matchbox Tutorial

So I just pre ordered the brand new matchbox die for the Big Shot from the Stampin Up! occasions mini catalog which will be available on April 1st. It's a pretty cool die because it comes with three cute little labels that fit with the box (and there's also a coordinating stamp set!)...anyway, in the mini catalog there is a picture of the matchbox with a "window" cut out of the top with the curly label punch. I thought it was a super cute idea and I wanted to make one myself...however, I'm not as smart as I look and it took me several tries to figure out how to do it. So I thought I would make a tutorial to save some other people some frustration. First, I like to use two coordinating colors of cardstock so that the lid contrasts from the box Here is what the pieces look like when they are cut out Go ahead and fold your lid on the score lines...but don't adhere anything yet There is a tab on each end of the lid piece, one is smaller than the other. You'll want to fold the smaller tab under and then position your Curly Label punch in the center of the box lid. When you punch it, it will cut part of the tab...but it's okay Place glue dots or chosen adhesive on the small tab (the one with the cut out) and overlap the large tab to comlete the lid. Then you can add a small piece of acetate to the inside and decorate however you like :) I hope this was helpful! Here are some more examples of the other Matchboxes I made...
