Make Merry Fun Box

Twistedchickboxwm1Michelle 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.
