Michelle at Twisted Chick Creations posted this very easy box template ... at least it would have been easy if I had stuck with the directions. Instead, I decided I wanted my box to be 4 1/2" wide when it was finished, so I extended the template. This box will fit a standard set of cards inside for a holiday gift.
However, for some reason it took me four attempts before I could get the top of the box to come out correctly. I finally ended up using a 7"x5" piece for my top with 1 1/8" scores on the side and top fold.
I am lucky enough to live near Reminisce and have access to their occasional warehouse sales (when I'm feeling strong and brave enough to fight the crowds). That's where I picked up these fun cardstocks called St. Nick's Sweater and Holiday Cheer. I added some wired, velvet holiday ribbon and images by Savvy & Memory Box to complete the creation. What a fun and easy holiday idea.
Ingredients: Papers: Kraft, Olive and Maroon Cardstock; Reminisce St. Nick's Sweater & Holiday Cheer Cardstock; Stamps: Memory Box Christmas Together, Savvy Make Merry; Ink: ColorBox Chalk Maroon; Accessories: 1 1/2", 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches, pop dot, wired, velvet holiday ribbon.
