Instructions:
Prepare the chipboard box by sanding the gloss off and painting it with the white gesso until the writing is not visible and set aside to dry.
Prepare the white card stock by first tearing away one of the short edges of one piece to remove the factory cut, this should be done pretty straight. Overlap two pieces of white card stock with the torn edge on top of the companion sheet and attach together with adhesive, burnish with your finger so that the overlapping edge is smooth. You will now have a sheet of paper that is about 8.5"x20". On this piece of white card stock swirl the VersaMagic Spring Pansy and Pretty Petunia inks all over the paper in a random manner, tone down with the Colorbox Alabaster. Using the Encore pink ink randomly stamp the words, whimsy, wonder and magic (from the Pixie Magic stamp) all over the card stock. With the Colorbox Dark Brown ink randomly stamp Aiden on the white card stock also. Turn the stamped paper over so that the blank side is up, open up the box and lay it flat on top. With a pencil, lightly trace around the box onto the paper. Remove the box and using a straight edge, follow the traced line about 1/4" away on the outside giving a margin. Cut along the outer line. This is the cover for the outside of the box. Using modge podge, paint the outside of the box, one side at a time and slowly attach the cover, stamped side outwards leaving the margin hanging off all around the edges. Allow the box to dry.
Once dry, gently fold the margin over the edge of the box and attach to the inside edge of the box. Trim the printed tooth chart to fit the inside cover and attach with Modge Podge. Cut a frame from the lavender card stock and attach over the chart. Cut another piece of lavender paper to fit inside the box area inside and attach with Modge Podge. Using a hobby knife, cut two slits a little wider than the ribbon parallel to each other along the center of the spine and thread the ribbon through them.
Around the edges of the inside box, frame the walls with Wonder Tape overlapping from the inside to the outside and cover with the Shaved Ice.
Using the last piece of white card stock, stamp the Monique image and color in with gel pens and chalk. Closely trim the image from the paper and attach to the front of the box. Cut two tooth images from the card stock, outline with a pen and fill in the shapes with Gloo, allow to dry and then attach to the box.
Place the organdy bag inside, close and wrap ribbons around the box tieing them to keep the box shut when not in use.
