For the inside box (shown on the left), start with a 5-3/4″ by 8-1/2″ piece of card stock. Score at 1-1/2″ along each of the four sides. Fold and burnish the scored lines. Cut the tabs for the box as indicated in the picture. Fold and adhere the two smaller squares inside the rectangle at each end of the box.
For the box top/wrap (shown on the right), start with a 6-3/4″ by 11-1/2″ piece of card stock, Along the long end, score at 2-3/4″, 4″, 7-1/4″, and 8-1/2″. Mark 1-1/2″ at each side of the long end and 2-1/2″ along the short end, as shown. PROTIP: Place your card stock on a flat surface (or Stampin’ Pierce mat) and use the stylus to “draw” the dotted line onto the card stock. Cut along this line to form the triangular flap of the box.
Cut Designer Series Paper:
- 6-1/2″ by 2-1/4″ (cut 2) for the box tops*
- 6-1/2″ by 1″ (cut 2) for the box sides
- 6-1/2″ by 3″ (cut one) for the box bottom
- *Trim one of the box top DSP pieces to match the triangular flap. PROTIP: Lay the card stock flap on top of the DSP to use as a guide; trim the long edge of the DSP to fit the box flap.
Fold and burnish the box top scored lines. Adhere the DSP to the box top.
Adhere the inside box to the box top so that the DSP is on the outside of the box; make sure center the box on the box top.
Punch a hole through the card stock and adhered DSP, as shown in the template. Thread ribbon through the hole, wrap around the box top, and tie into a pretty bow.
