Hello Craft Friends!
Dana here! I'm back to share my last project for the month of June. Didn't this go by fast? I'm sure many of you, have family vacations planned. These Clear Scraps DIY Wood Boxes and Divider Cards are a great place to store your vacation photos! See all the newest products including the different size boxes and Divider Cards Click here
For my project today, I'll be using Clear Scraps Regular DIY Wood box (measuring 4.75 x 6 inches) Click here
The Divider Cards I chose are Rounded Tab Click here Scallop Chip Click here Regular Chip Click here and Angle Chip Click here
The papers I'm using are from Vicki Boutin "Sweet Rush" collection.
To begin remove all your wood box pieces from your package. You can paint, ink, or add patterned papers to your outside and inside of your box. I chose to cover all wood pieces including the inside bottom of my box using patterned papers. Using my xaco knife, I trimmed around my curved edge on both wood side pieces.
Here are the measurements I used when cutting my papers.
Long sides: 1 &3/4 x 5 & 7/8 inches
Short sides: 1 & 3/4 x 4 &1/4 inches
Bottom inside box: 4 &1/4 x 6 inches

Then using my Distress tool, I smoothed any rough edges. Then added Distress Ink along the top edge.
After you have all your base papers glued in place, I like to set them out on my table in order before assembling. Make sure you slide the two poles into the holes on the end pieces, and set inside your box.
I glue my front, back, and side box pieces together first, then add glue to inside end pieces (ones with holes/poles) and slide in place on each end. I highly recommend using Beacon glue when gluing your box together. Here's how your box should look once assembled.

You can set your box aside to dry throughly. Now we can start decorating our Divider Cards. I painted a total of 4 cards along each bottom edge, both the front and back sides,using Bright Yellow, Pink, Light Green and Orange acrylic paints. Let dry.

Now we are ready to decorate our Divider Cards! I like to cover my chipboard bases with a variety of patterned papers. I also use stickers, washi tape, ephemera or any other embellishments, depending on what theme or project I'm creating.
Card 1 Scallop Chip (Front) : I covered the base with colored stripes paper. I cut my papers to measure 4x 2&3/4. Using foam dots, I adhered my sticker sunglasses and sentiment. I added a sunshine ephemera piece behind the clouds. Here's a photo!

Backside of Card 1: I made a pocket using one of the Journaling cards labels. I glued a border camera strip along the bottom edge. I added acouple sentiment stickers on the front of my pocket. I mounted my photo on another journal card, I fussy cut a flower from one of the papers, cut a small teal paper and added a camera sticker and sentiment at the top. Then tucked all 3 pieces inside my pocket. Here's acouple photos!


Card 2 Front: I cut out a butterfly Journaling card and scored at 2" and 4", folded on the lines and held it closed with a butterfly paperclip. Glue onto your Divider card base. I added some sticker hearts/dot and sentiment along the bottom edge.
Backside of Card 2: I adhered a photo, sticker sentiments and puffy heart stickers. Here are some closeups!


Card 3: I adhered a Agenda Journaling card to the front and added some sticker phases and a sticker at the top.
Card 3 backside: I glued this cute soda pop paper and added foam dots on the back of the matching soda pop sticker and glued over the matching image on my card. Here's some photos!


Card 4 Front: I added a photo, puffy stickers and sentiment flag.
Card 4 backside: Palm trees Journaling card and with foam dots added a small palm tree sticker and sentiment at the bottom. Here's acouple more photos!


I'll be adding more cards to my Wood box in future posts. Here's how my finished box turned out!
