Flower Shop Long Card in a Box (with template)

Today I'm sharing my last card in a box project for now - a long rectangle version full of my fave Flowers Shop & Petite Petals flowers. This was my second project from my February class. I designed this size to fit a standard C6 envelope (& also fits a US sized envie too). I've shared my template for this shaped box at the bottom of this post too so you can try it yourself.

I'm not usually a huge yellow girl, but I loved how the calypso coral & pool party flowers looked with the so saffron DSP. Here's a closer look at the flowers (btw. the yellow flower is actually stamped in daffodil delight).

& one more from the top, so you can see the inserts.

When the card is folded flat for posting, it measures 14cm x 10.5cm (5-1/2 x 4-1/8inches).

The panels under the flaps are crisp cantaloupe stamps with a small Petite Petals outline flower. I kept the back panel  pretty simple

I added a crisp cantaloupe & white panel, which had the added benefit of strengthening the whisper white base too.

If you're more visual, here's the template I put together. Broken lines are score lines. Red lines are cutting lines. Leave the section with blue score line unfolded - this is the back panel.

Prefer inches?

The project dimensions were created in cm's, so they don't translate to inches as neatly as I'd like. The converted dimensions are as follows. I will post a neater solution if I have time to think!
Finished Size when flat: 5-1/2 x 4-5/8 inches. Front & back panels are approx 4-7/8in wide, Side panels are 1-1/8inch wide.

Cut Base:11.5 x 4-1/8 inches

Score base: 3-7/8, 5-1/2, 9-3/8 & 11 inches on long side. Score at 2-1/8 inches on short side.

Inserts: Cut at 5-7/8 inches x 3/4 inch. Score at 1/2 inch from either en.

I hope you have a go at making a long card in a box with my measurements. I think the longer length gives great opportunities to create a bigger scene. If you have any questions, just ask & don't forget to coment & pin if you like the project. Thanks for visiting & pop back soon.
Inky wishes, Di
