I’m going to try to keep these instructions a little shorter than the last. To learn how to do the clipping masks/group with previous, see the instructions for the matchbook below (steps 2-3). There are just a couple tips I want to share with you for this project.
The products I used are all from the Digital Scrapbook Memories' Beginner Series CD, Flower Patch.
Download the template here.
Dimensions (check the dimensions of your box before using this template):
top/bottom: 7 5/8” x 3 3/8”
front/back main: 7 5/8” x 2 13/16”
sides main: 3 7/16” x 2 13/16”
front/back lid: 7 5/8” x 1 5/16”
sides lid: 3 7/16” x 1 5/16”
To make the paper along the front and one side to look like it is continuous (cut from the same piece of paper), follow these instructions.
- Drag one piece of the stripped paper over to your template. Position centered on the page and over the section you want.
- Now copy that layer by dragging the layer to the new layer button (small piece of paper in the corner of your layers palette – look at image 2 below).
- Create a clipping mask using one of the papers over the front/back main and create a clipping mask using the other paper over the side of the recipe box.
See the pictures below for visuals on this.
*Notice the stars show that the two paper layers are respectively placed right above the front main and the right main layers.
*Notice on image two that the paper layers now have a small arrow pointing at the layer below. This shows that it is clipped/grouped to the layer below. The red arrow shows the new layer button.
I used just any recipe box you can find. It does not have to be a plain recipe box. I painted the edges with a coordinating toll paint. For the papers/design I used, magenta toll paint worked perfectly! Also, I got my recipe boxes from Michaels, so you may want to check there if you are looking for a recipe box.
Feel free to ask questions. I will try to answer as soon as I can.
