New Products + Holiday Build-A-Box

Creating a custom box is a snap with these simple instructions. Change the dimensions and easily change the size of the box. These boxes are perfect to wrap up holiday goodies for the neighbors, tuck away little teacher gifts or any other treasure for a special someone!

Supplies Needed:
· Stardream Metallic Crystal cardstock, cut to 11 x 11”
· Via Linen Leaf Green cardstock, small piece that will work with chosen punch
· Coordinating patterned paper, 4 pieces each cut to 3 7/8 x 2 7/8”
· Ribbon
· Nesting circle punches (smaller one and larger one for a mat)*
· Label style punch*
· Sentiment stamp that will fit in smaller circle punch*
· Scoring board
· Ink
· Adhesive (I used Mono Multi and Pop-dots)
· Scissors
· Hole punch
* The punches and stamp can easily be changed to fit your own design.

Steps:
· Score white cardstock at 4” and 7”; turn and score again at 4” and 7”. This will create a tic-tac-toe look on your cardstock. Using scissors or paper trimmer, cut off each of the four corners. Use the score lines as a guide. Your cut cardstock should look like a plus sign.

· Adhere the 3 7/8 x 2 7/8 pieces of coordinating patterned paper to each of the “flaps”.
· Punch 2 holes in each flap in the upper left and right corners.
· Thread pieces of ribbon through holes on flaps to connect them and create a box.
· Stamp sentiment and punch out tag elements. (Stamp on one of the cut out corners to save paper.) Assemble tag.

· Fill your box with goodies and attach the tag.

· Give to a friend and fill their holidays with cheer!
