TINY MAILBOX TUTORIAL


CHRISTMAS GREETINGS MAILBOX

Hi everyone! Good morning/Goedemorgen/Guten Morgen/Bonjour/Hallo/Buenos Dias/Buon Giorno!

Here is the tutorial! Good luck! Have fun stampin' and creating this mailbox with the great Stampin' Up! products! 


First, you need to cut the cardstock: size 6" x 9". Color: for example Crumb Cake


Use the Stampin' Trimmer to score at 1 1/4" and 4 3/4"


Turn your paper and score at 3 1/2" and 4 3/4"

Cut (with Paper Snips) as shown on photo


... and cut again


Yeah, now we are ready to stamp! I've chosen the "Father Christmas" stamp set, the text Christmas Greetings is just perfect for this mailbox. (ink: Chocolate Chip)


For further decoration on the mailbox I've used Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper. 


Now you can put the mailbox together. 


For the top part you need two small pieces of cardstock (color: Real Red, but if you want you could also use Crumb Cake) 
size 3 5/8" x 2" and 1 3/4" x 2"


Use the corner punch to cut the edges off, and score at 1/4" (other side of the paper)



For the opening, I've used another punch (retired), but the Classic Label punch would work too. 


... now, we use the Scalloped Tag Topper punch: 


glue the parts together with the Snail Adhesive


... and you have finished your cute tiny mailbox. 


You only need one sheet of paper: 


You can find the directions for the bigger size mailbox here: 


Thanks for visiting my blog! 

Have a wonderful day! 

Hugs, Laura
