SUPER CUTE CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATE GIFT BOX

I recently found a bag of super cute and colourful Christmas chocolates and knew immediately that I could make a gift box to pop them into.

I used the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack and Joyful Sayings Mix & Match Ephemera Pack for this project.

To start this project I measured the chocolate coins and then planned the gift box insert. As I have learned – measure twice, cut once!

From there, I was able to determine the measurements for the box base and lid – 5 3/8″x 5 3/8″ for the base and the lid is 1/16″ larger.

The Garden Green insert works well but I would like to keep developing it so that the ‘joins’ align better.

To secure the box, I wrapped a length of Real Red & Gold Dotted Ribbon around the box and tied a bow.

Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of a trimmed down Memories & More card and placed it over the ribbon.

Finally, I added one of the elements from the Joyful Sayings Ephemera pack to the card.

Tomorrow I plan to move on to using the Surfing Santa Stamp Set.

Until then, happy stamping.

HOW TO MAKE A 3D CHRISTMAS GIFTBOX

For this collapsible giftbox I started with 2 A4 sheets of Garden Green cardstock.

The finished box measures 4″(W) x 4″(D) x 3″(H).

The four 4″x 3″ panels are joined to create the sides of the giftbox. These are the perfect size for cards, of the same size, from the Reindeer Days Memories and More Card Pack.

Once the sides are joined and the cards adhered to them, the top and bottom square 1/2″ flaps were trimmed/wedged and folded folded into the box.

I added some elements from the Joyful Images and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Packs to the top of the box.

This giftbox can be folded flat for easy storage.

Tomorrow I will share a Mini Album I made using the same range of Christmas products.

Until then, happy stamping.
