Greenhouse Gala Gift Set
A good friend hosted a class for her daughter-in-law recently and i wanted to give her something special, so I made up this set of cards with a box as a hostess gift
Here's a close picture of the box
I made up the box, included the cards and tied it all up with our Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.
Here's a brief tutorial on how to make the box.
Supplies:
- One 7 3/4" x 9" piece of cardstock for your box base
- One 6 7/8" x 8 1/8" piece of cardstock for your lid
- Scoring tool
- Sticky Tape
- Scissors
- Stamps
- Ink
- Ribbon
- Additional cardstock and embellishments to decorate your box
- Scallop Edge Punch for the top
Step 1: Score your 7 3/4" x 9" cardstock at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides
Step 2: On the long sides of the cardstock, cut the score lines up to the point where they connect with the score lines from the short side.
Step 3: Fold on score lines and add Sticky Tape to the 4 corner tabs
Step 4: Peel off the paper lining of the Sticky Tape and fold in the glue tabs to create the bottom of your box
Step 5: Score your 6 7/8" x 8 1/8" piece of cardstock 1" on all 4 sides
Step 6: Repeat Step 2
Step 7: Punch each side with your Scallop Edge Punch. No need to punch the glue tabs. Cut down your glue tabs so they won't show under the scallops. Add Sticky Tape to each of the four corners.
Step 8: Prefold your score lines. Peel off your liner of the tape and fold the glue tabs in to finish the lid of the box.
Step 9: Fill your box with either matching cards or other goodies.
