How to Make the Post Box

1. Die cut 1 Top Panel and 3 Front/Back panels from Misty Grey card. Fold back and burnish all the glue tabs on the Top Panel.

2. Die cut the long plain panel from Silver Screen Glitter card and then tape the decorative panel onto one side of this panel and die cut.

3. Move the die to the opposite side of the panel and die cut again.

4. Die cut the plain panel from Flourishing Green card and glue the silver glitter panel on top.

5. Glue this onto the Misty Grey Top Panel.

6. Adhere the Top Panel to one of the Front/Back panels, making sure to place the glue tabs on the outside.

7. Cover the tabs with the second Front/Back panel.

8. Position the Front/ Back Panel die over the die cut and tape the Door Die in place.

9. Remove the Front/Back Panel die, leaving the Door Die in place and die cut. 

10. Die cut the 2 outline dies shown from Flourishing Green card and then use the same dies together with the detail dies to cut out the silver glitter shapes and glue these on top of the corresponding pieces.

11. Die cut one base panel from Misty Grey card.

12. Align the Base with the decorative edge of the Front/Back Panel and glue it to both the Top Panel and the Front/Back Panel using the glue tabs.

 

13. Glue the patterned panels in place on the front of the Post Box.

14. To hold the door in place, die cut a Scalloped Edge from Flourishing Green card and glue on the inside as shown.

15. Die cut the 3 pieces shown above from Flourishing Green card.

16. Fold the Lock to form a loop and glue the tabs in place.

17.  Secure the hook in place through the hole using a brad/split pin.

18. Decorate with foliage cut from a combination of different shades of green card, add a polka dot bow at the top and Red Berry Crystal Drops on the berries.

Stamp and trim “MAIL” from the “YOU HAVE MAIL” stamp and adhere to the Post Box. Die cut and assemble a group of little envelopes.
