Instructions

• Gift Box
• Cut a strip of kraft colored cardstock 7 ½” x 2 ½”.
  Make scores across strip at 1.5” (front), ¾” (bottom), 2 ½” ( back), ¾” (top), and the flap should be 1 ½”.
  Round the corners.


• Cut (2) 1” x 1 ¾” pieces of kraft cardstock.
  Score ½” from each side leaving ¾” in middle.
  These will be the box sides.
  
  
  


• Mask and stamp the flap and box front with your choice of stamp.
  I used Brilliance Pearlescent Moonlight White ink.
  I embellished the stamped pattern with Stickles (frosted lace).


• Apply double sided tape to edges of side pieces.
  
  
  


• Stick the two side pieces to the back piece, lining up the bottom and side edges.
  Do the same to the sides and front.
  This will form a box.
  Attach a small Velcro adhesive tab to the box/flap to hold it closed.


• Embellish the front of the box with a circle layer of white cardstock and the blue cardstock used to make the ornaments.
  Add sparkly snowflake embellishments.
  
  
  



• Ornaments


• Cut a strip of the Bazzill Wave paper that is about 5 inches wide.
  Fold it in half lengthwise.
  Cut into 2½” pieces.
  You will need 1 folded piece for each ornament tag that you will make.


• For the ornament tags, I used the circle Nestabilities that is approximately 1 3/4” across.
  Lay the die down in your die cut machine sandwich.
  Lay a cut piece of folded cardstock on the die.
  Make sure the folded edge does NOT come complete to the cutting edge of the die.
  Set it away about 1/16th of an inch, or so (see top edge of first ornament in photo).
  I tape this in place with some drafting style tape that has light tack to it and is removable.
  This un-cut edge with create the fold in your ornament tag.
  You may want to experiment with this on a piece of scrap paper first.
  
  
  


• Cut ornament tops from a piece of gray scrap cardstock and ink with Brilliance Pearlescent Platinum ink for a metallic look.
  Punch a small hole and thread with silk ribbon.
