  1. For the Top: Using the Lilac Walnut Ink, lightly spray the two top portions with the slots. Cover the two handles in purple dotted paper.
  2. For the Front and Back: Cut two pieces of the purple floral print paper to fit the front and back of the box. For each piece, position the small square design from the Diamond Folds #3 template centered over the piece and rotated so that it resembles a diamond. Trace the chevrons, remove the template, and cut along the traced lines. Before folding back the cut portions, flip over the piece. Use the inkpad to stamp across the back of the piece. Then go over the cut chevrons with purple chalk. Flip the piece pattern side up again and fold back the cut portions.
  3. Cut out the "Keepsake" circle art and attach, using a piece of foam tape, to the center of one of the diamond folds. This will secure the folded ends. Cut out the purple flower square art and attach, using a piece of foam tape, to the center of the other diamond fold. Glue sections to the front and back of the box.
  4. For the Sides: Cut two pieces of the purple dotted paper to fit the two sides of the box. For each piece: Position the double chevron design from the Diamond Folds #3 template centered over the piece and vertical. Trace the chevrons, remove the template, and cut along the traced lines. Before folding back the cut portions, flip over the piece. Use the inkpad to stamp across the back of the piece. Then go over the cut chevrons with purple chalk. Flip the piece pattern side up again and fold back the cut portions.
  5. Cut out the two square purple button art pieces and attach, using foam tape, one to the center of each diamond fold. This will secure the folded ends. Glue sections to the two sides of the box.
