Friday Fun & Let’s Get Polished

Happy Friday!

 Let’s have some girly, polish & crafty kind of Fun.  Today’s FYI*F* is inspired by finding the perfect neutral nail polish that just happens to perfectly match a Designer Series Paper!

As well, the nail polish was on clearance!

The crafty planets align!!

It’s time to make a box!

 I kept this simple by recreating a box that happens to fit the nail polish perfectly!

  Using day to day items to be inspired in your crafting makes 3D projects much easier.  I used Crumb Cake Cardstock by Stampin’Up!© for the box base.  Color coordinate your box to the nail polish color!

Practicing a new box with plain typing paper is a great way to copy boxes.

 The above photo has a link out to another blog post that I recreated a Mary Kay box

makeover I did back in March.  This would fit a longer fingernail file and two nail polishes!

Tri-fold angled tag & file holder.

Measurements:

Box: Cardstock Size Needed – 7″ L x 7 3/4″ H

Finished box: 3 1/2″ Tall x 1  5/8″ Square

Scoring:

With 7″ side on trimmer ruler edge: score at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 4 7/8″, 6 1/2″

Rotate to 7 3/4″ side: score each end at 5/8″ and 2 1/8″

Note: Short tabs are 1″ from the 2 1/8″ score line.

Add on Nail file and Accordion Style Tri-fold Mini Tag / Card: 

Cardstock Size: 3 1/2″ x 4 7/8″  

Scoring: Place cardstock with the  4 7/8″  side on trimmer ruler edge to score at 1 5/8″ & 3 1/4″

Now to doll it up girly style!  Fussy cut a few flowers, a sentiment, some ribbon, a min card attached to the back and this gift is done.

I used a patterned paper to inspire the finish design and used the same items carried over in the mini card.

This is a tri-fold to allow a tag and coordinating fingernail file to be slipped in to complete the gift.

 I would love you to shop with me!

 When you click the supplies button below – all the items show ‘in a cart’ uncheck the items you don’t want!  

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s very girly version of FYI*F*!  

It was alot of fun to make!  I think it would make a great addition to a spa gift for your best girl pal or a unique door drop for a friend who needs a pick-me-up! 

Happy Weekend Stampers!

Be well and have an inky good time!
