Master Detective Arrow with Graphic 45

“Well my dear Graphic 45er’s who doesn’t like a good Master Detective project!  What better way but to create a project showing the way to uncovering the mystery of your creative space! I knew the 12” arrow I purchased would be just right with Graphic 45 Master Detective for my project…  plus, it would be a great addition to my studio because behind every door, underneath every piece of paper or sitting right there in front of me there is always something to be discovered. I know you will know what I am talking about since most designers are in the same situation…so have fun creating your own Master Detective project to hang in your creative space; it will be a great reminder to never stop looking around to see what you will discover, what you miss placed or what you forgot was purchase.” Pam

Decorate the inside of the box with Jolly Christmas pattern paper.

Score red card stock at the 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2".

Cut 2" from the end of the card stock so the finish scored piece will measure 2 1/2" x 10" long.

Fold.

Decorate the inside and outside of the accordion fold gift card.

Glue one of the folds together at the edge to form a pocket to create for gift card.

Punch edge of lid with decorative punch.

Add sticker to front and place gift card in formed pocket.
