So, I've been to about ten different art supplies stores in the past two days. First, I went to Columbia Art Supplies and got a curved-edge punch (I'm in love with it now). I also got spray mount and paper. I decided I didn't like the paper once I got it home, so I went to the Paper Source. Shout out to Heather for pointing out some great large-scale heavy-weight paper. When I got home, I realized I didn't have anything to score the paper with, so I went to Michaels. They had no idea what I was talking about when I asked for a scoring product... so I stumbled around for about an hour until I finally found one! Yay! I then went home... and the process began.
Here's the Monster box before it was folded all up.
I figured I should take a picture... because with my production skills, this was going to be the last time my poor box looked like anything resembling my idea of good design.
The wonderful scoring tool I got at Michaels broke within thirty seconds after I opened it (I know, it's probably all my fault... should have read directions). My solution: the dull edge of a knife -- here's photographic proof:)
Professional looking tool, isn't it?
Well, on to creating the box. I made it! I screwed up in a couple of places... so I have to do it again (no surprise there), but I actually made something that looks like a box!!! I'm so proud.
So here's a ton of pic I took of the box with the cards:
Now all I have to do is print a ton more cards, reprint and put together the box, get the poster printed double sided and package it all together. Oh dear... I think I've scared myself.
