Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Sun Prints Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this suite with all that we have to share.

I absolutely love the products in this suite! I used the pretty paper on June 22nd in my fish Faker Shaker card. You’ll see the papers again and more of the suite again in my October 30th post with the Octagon Star Boxes. And on November 2nd I shared some pretty Triangular Cross Fold cards using these items.

So today I wanted to share with you some more Octagon Star Boxes…this time using the larger measurements like I shared in my how-to video and blog post posted a few hours ago. You’ll notice one is taller than the other. But that is the only difference when it comes to the measurements. So I’ve listed the measurements for each below. It’s just a 2″ difference.

Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements for the taller box…

• Basic White Cardstock
  • 11-1/8” x 11-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-1/8″, 5-1/2″, 6-7/8″, 8-1/4″, 9-5/8″ and 11″ then scored parallel to the long side at 3-1/4″ from the bottom and 1-3/4″ from the top (follow the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post from earlier for instructions on extra score marks, cuts, folds, and assembly)
  • Scrap for stamping and die-cutting sentiment piece
• Sun Prints Designer Paper
  • Eight strips that are 1-1/4″ x 6″ (Cut from one piece that is 6″ x 10″ to keep a flowing pattern)
• Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon
  • 16”
• Vellum Cardstock
  • Scraps for die-cutting leaves

Measurements for the shorter box…

• Basic White Cardstock
  • 9-1/8” x 11-1/2” scored parallel to the short side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-1/8″, 5-1/2″, 6-7/8″, 8-1/4″, 9-5/8″ and 11″ then scored parallel to the long side at 3-1/4″ from the bottom and 1-3/4″ from the top (follow the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post from earlier for instructions on extra score marks, cuts, folds, and assembly)
  • Scrap for stamping and die-cutting sentiment piece
• Sun Prints Designer Paper
  • Eight strips that are 1-1/4″ x 4″ (Cut from one piece that is 4″ x 10″ to keep a flowing pattern)
• Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon
  • 16”
• Vellum Cardstock
  • Scraps for die-cutting leaves

Tips…

• Watch the video in this Grand Octagon Star Boxes post. It will guide you through cutting, scoring, folding, and assembling the base of these boxes.

• Color the ribbon with the Night of Navy Blends Marker. Then set it aside to dry. Notice how the base color of the ribbon influences the finished look. The Fresh Freesia ribbon is a cooler, more purple-toned blue. The Soft Succulent ribbon is a warmer, softer blue.

• Stamp, then die-cut the label. Score in on each end at 5/8″. Add to the box front with Dimensionals (placed on the back side in the middle and on the ends so the label wraps around).
• Tuck the die-cut vellum leaves under the labels. You may need to trim if they aren’t tucking far enough.
• Then add the rhinestones.
