Christmas Countdown! #6 - Bearing Gifts!

Simple Stampin shared a wonderful little treat box that inspired me so I wanted to share it with you as well... perfect for that "little something" to give at the holidays and just a super sweet and fun treasure to make.... this one made with "Bearing Gifts"

Here's instrutions to  make the box part…you can get (2) from one sheet of paper!
  • Cut your paper at 8” X 5 ½ “
  • Score on the 8” side at 1”, 3 ½”, 4 1/2” and 7”
  • Score on the 5 ½” side at 1” on both ends
  • Fold in…( I like to use the bone folder for crisp edges) and cut in to the 1" line as shown!

  • This next step is easy...you will cut completely off 1 piece...look at the picture below!

  • I recommend that you use your Sticky Strip tape... it's the best choice of adhesive for 3-D projects! You will only be placing it on that short side (see picture below) This is a good picture that will show you the "cut off" piece and how you build the "sides" to your box!

  • After you adhere the box together use the 1 inch circle punch and make a quick snip. It makes it easier to open the box!

  • Now to attaching the attaching of the Top Notes! Put sticky strip on the top and bottom of the box - start with the bottom. Peel off the red tape and position the "box" on top!

  • Last step... hint: if you lean over and it is super easy to get the "top" - "top note" centered over the box!  !
