Today I'm sharing an impossible box. These boxes are so much fun, but they can be a little tricky to make but I'm hoping I can break down all the details and tips and tricks for you today. It's been a while since I've made an impossible box, think the last time I've made one was way back in 2018 here. Today I'm sharing an adorable box with some new sneak peek products! I'm sharing a sneak peek of the new Cup Of Tea Bundle and the Tea Boutique DSP. These products won't be available until May 3, 2022 but if you love them and want them now you can add them to your Starter Kit when you join my team. Enjoy all the demonstrator benefits without pressure to sell. Join my team today!
This box is a perfect comfort gift for a friend but it would also make a great party favor for a tea party. This box will take nearly a full sheet of cardstock to make and it's a little more involved so if I had to make 100 boxes I might go with something a little quicker. But whoever you give this box to will be amazed by your genius! This bundle is one of my favorites! I love the dies! I used the dies to add details to the cup and the lemon, so cute! For easy adhering use an adhesive sheet on the back of your cardstock before die cutting with the detailed die cuts.
I can't explain the science or how the mechanics of this box work but the lid slides up to open the box, or you push it down to close the box. It's so ingenious! I don't know who came up with this box, I've seen variations of them everywhere. I used to make this box using the envelope punch board. I was reminded how to make this box by fellow demonstrator Julie DiMatteo. I've followed here process but modified my measurements to fit my treat. Inside my box are a couple of tea bags and a Hostess Lemon Bundt Cake. The perfect little tea time snack! I've used some ribbon to tie around my cake. I realized it was challenging to get the little cake in and out and it needed a little handle of sorts. I used the Frayed White Ribbon. Depending on your tea bags, you might have to fold the top to fit it in the box.
Measurements listed below. You can refer to this picture for a trimming guide. Make sure you check out my video for all the details on this box though. There are a few tips and tricks you'll want to know.
