Good morning all.
I hope you all enjoyed Lisa's shows on Monday and Tuesday? Didn't all the samples look fabulous on the set? So many different designs, different colours, different ideas and all from one simply stunning Record Breaking Box Kit.
It has sure taken the crafting to a whole new level, don't you think?
Thankfully Lisa's voice sounded so much better and I'm really pleased that she was able to get through four shows without it giving up on her.

Remember also, that when Lisa does a show on Craft Extra you can watch that on our You Tube channel too, just in case you have any problems watching any other way.

Step 2
Place the Harlequin Bubble die centrally on one panel allowing a 1.5cm border around the die and die cut.
Repeat on the remaining three panels.
Step 3
This is how your patterned vellum should now look.
You also need 4 pieces of plain vellum measuring 7cm x 12cm

You also need 4 pieces of plain vellum measuring 7cm x 12cm
Step 4
Stick the plain vellum behind the bubble cut outs using thinly spread wet glue, you might want to score the panels again at the 9cm and 18 cm points for nice crisp folds when you assemble the box.
Step 5
Apply red liner tape along both 1cm tabs, stick both pieces together and fold along creases before sticking the end tab.
Now you are going to make two lids for the top and bottom of the box.
Step 6
Cut two pieces of card 11.2 cm x 11.2 cm and score all sides at 1cm.
Cut one piece of patterned vellum 9cm x 9cm and 8 pieces 0.8cm x 9cm.
Attach to the lids as in the picture below then cut and slightly mitre the corners.
Fold and crease along score lines and glue the tabs in place.
Step 7
You can decorate the lid if you wish, I threaded some buttons from my stash onto twine, tied them off, made two holes in the lid with my poky tool and threaded the twine through before tying a knot.

Originally I made a larger one with stencilled card and vellum behind the cut outs, the panels are 10cm wide still with a 1cm tab and 15cm high.
Here’s the two sizes for comparison.
