Welcome Blog Hop Day 4!!Today I will be showing you a gift box that is so fun and easy to make!
This box is on page 80 of the Wild Card Cartridge, it is the giftbox 2 (so use the shift button)
I picked a 12X12 sheet of pattern paper from the Color Bok School Life pack, I did use a heavier paper because I am putting treats on the inside. I used the fit to page button so this would cut it as large as it can on a 12X12 sheet and it cut it at 5 3/4". I scored all the lines then I measured the open window and glued in some acetate paper that was 3"x4". I then glued the box together.
Here is the front:
Here is the back:
Then I filled it with LifeSaver Candies:
And added some red twine to help keep it all together!
I will have my chickie give this to her teacher so she can have some treats in her desk!
I'm sure you can tell I love super fast, simple and fun projects! I learned if I think about it, and think about it my projects look busy and I never like them. Now I just go with my gut and say less is more and now I always like how they look! It is easier to add than to take off!
** For those of you who have asked, I used my ATG gun to adhere all my projects together.**

Oh, I love this Carri. Your choice of paper is awesome!
ReplyDeleteSo simple but yet such a nice idea! As a teacher I would love to get this and I would 100% find another use for the box once the candy was gone (more then likely by the end of the day lol)!

Super cute box! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I can't wait to try this out myself. :) TFS and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about that cartridge and am starting to find out that you can do lots with it. Did you know that another blogging gal made a project with each die-cut on the Wildcard Cartridge? You can find her on youtube if you are interested. Love your project today and especially the paper that you used. Who wouldn't love a box of lifesavers? :O) You could also attach a tag that says 'You are a Lifesaver' for helping me with (fill in the blank). Thanks for sharing sweetie!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT... I love Connie's idea about the tag that says you are a lifesaver... I have an awesome friend who i always tell her she's a lifesaver... i am making her one of these... What did you use for the plastic on the box?
ReplyDeleteTHIS HOP ROCKS!
