How cute are these little gift boxes?…Or are they bags? Either’s fine I guess!

They came with me to Stampin’ Up! training at Telford on Saturday.  As demos, we love to swap our projects to get inspiration for future projects – I hope you liked mine if I got to swap with you!  Here’s how to make them…

Score a piece of 8½” x 4″ cardstock (landscape) at 2″, 4″, 6″, 8″, turn and score at 1½” and 3½”.  Put a mark with your stylus on the ½” scoreline at 3″ and 7″, and using a metal ruler, score to the corners as shown in the picture (just on 2 of the squares) Fold all of the horizontal and vertical score lines.  Hold in landscape mode, cut out the skinny rectangle in the corner, then up the other 3 scorelines and cut little triangles as shown to help the close of the box.  Add a piece of 1¾” x 1¾” Melon Mambo Cardstock (or Mint Macaron/Hello Honey) to the 3rd square as shown below then offset a 1½” x 1½” Basic Black square.  Add Tear & Tape to the ½ strip to the side and fold over to meet the other edge to form the body of the bag.  Fold in the tabs to form the base of the box, adding Tear & Tape to the last tab to be folded. Pinch the box together with the triangular scorelines at the sides and they should just fold in.  Secure at the top with a Mini Metallic Peg.  Stamp the sentiment from Grateful Bunch in Melon Mambo or Mint Macaron and stamp the trio of daisies in Black Archival Ink.  Punch out the Daisies using the Blossom Bunch Punch and use the Washi Label Punch for the sentiment.  Punch another in cardstock to coordinate with the ink on your sentiment and layer at an angle using a dimensional.  Pop an It’s My Party Enamel Dot into the centre of the flower and attach to the box with a dimensional. xx
