Inky Images: Gift Box with Gift Card

During August join my team of Inky Images and become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and receive the FREE Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project

Are you always looking for an inexpensive gift for your child's teacher or co-workers at your office? Today's featured project is a note pad or Post It Notes holder. We made it at last weekend's stamp camp along with a cute 3" x 3" gift card.

INSTRUCTIONS

Score a 5” x 5” piece of Garden Green (102584) or any other coordinating card stock at 7/8” on all four sides using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).

Add small strips of the Snow Festival (126908) Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini to each side.

Punch a hole with a 3/4” Circle Punch (119873) in the center on one side. This will create an indent that will make it easier to get the Post-It notes or notepaper out of the box.

Pre-fold box along scored lines. Cut into scored lines on 2 of the opposite sides (see photo). Add adhesive to the small flaps. Fold flaps into box.

Adhere a length of ribbon to the inside center of the box. I used the new Gumball Green (126848) 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon.

On a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock, stamp the cup from the Scentsational Season (121026-wood, 121190-clear) stamp set with Cherry Cobbler (126966) Classic Ink. With the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies (127812), cut out the stamped image and adhere it to the ribbon. Add a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (119246) to the snowflake on the cup.

Now you can add a package of 3” x 3” Post-It Notes or you can cut and stamp pieces of 3” x 3” note paper and add to the box for a more personalized gift.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow and I will give you the instructions for the cute little co-ordinating card we made to go with this little box. Happy Stamping!
