Stampin' Up! Sharing Creativity - Making Gift Boxes from Cards

 

Creative Challenge: Making Gift Boxes from Cards

This month’s creative challenge is to use the Heirloom Arrangements Kit—part of the February Online Kits—to create something different than the cards the kit is intended for. For this month’s challenge, our artist created these adorable gift boxes using the Heirloom Arrangements Kit and a few other supplies. Stamp the grid image in tone-on-tone color on the back of the Pretty in Pink and Crumb Cake cards, stamping off first. (The Blueberry Bushel and Cajun Craze cards are already printed on the back.) With the printed side facing up, score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (22 x 14 cm) card bases at 1/2" (1.3 cm), then cut at 8" (20.3 cm). Rotate cards clockwise one quarter turn and score at 1/2" (1.3 cm) and 3-3/4" (9.5 cm). Rotate cards back and cut 1-3/4" (4.4 cm) down from the top edge of the card on the existing center score line. Cut a 1/2" x 1-3/4" (1.3 cm x 4.4 cm) piece out of the top right corner. Cut a 1/2" x 1/2" (1.3 x 1.3 cm) square from the bottom right corner and an additional diagonal notch off the bottom right corner. Cut a triangle notch out of the bottom 1/2" (1.3 cm) tab at the existing center score line. Cut a small diagonal notch out of the bottom left corner. Fold on all the score lines. Cut a piece of Basic Beige Cardstock to 3-3/4" x 3-3/4" (9.5 x 9.5 cm) for the bottom of each box. Add Tear & Tape Adhesive to the bottom 1/2" (1.3 cm) tabs and right edge 1/2" (1.3 cm) tab on each card and assemble the boxes, using two cards for each box. Tie Black & Very Vanilla 3/8" (1 cm) Large Check Ribbon around each box. Create gift tags using kit contents and tie them to the ribbon using twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. We used the lovely Heirloom Arrangements Kit in our Kit Class groups made these kits in January. It's a great kit.
