There are only 6 more Saturdays before Christmas. True story! Here's a super cute idea for stocking stuffers that's quick & easy.
This cute little box is sized perfectly for a pack of gum or a gift card (or two!)
Here's the template for the Gum Holder Box:
Instructions are for the Cherry Cobbler gum holder - substitute Night of Navy for the other box.
Cherry Cobbler cardstock - 7-1/4" x 6-3/4".
Score the long side at 1-1/2", 2", 4-1/2", 5".
Score the short side at 1", 1-1/2" on both sides
Cherry Cobbler cardstock for belly band - 6-3/4" x 1"
Wrapped in Plaid designer paper for the box 3-5/8" x 1-3/8", 3-5/8" x 2-1/8"
Wrapped in Plaid designer paper for the belly band 7/8" x 2-3/8"
Gold Foil cardstock cut with 2" circle punch
Whisper White cut with smallest die from Stitched Rectangles Dies
Score as indicated and trim away the grayed out sections using paper snips. Round corners as shown with corner rounder punch. Fold & burnish on all scorelines.
Using liquid glue as shown here, fold the bottom up & adhere, squaring up the corners. Do one side first; hold a few seconds for the glue to catch, then do the second side.
Round 2 corners on each of the designer paper pieces and adhere to the box with liquid glue. Now you're ready for the belly band!
Wrap the belly band around the closed box, using your fingers to pinch it at the corners. Not too tight, this should slide on & off the box easily. Remove it and burnish the folds with your bone folder. Place it back on the box & fasten the ends with liquid glue. The seam should be on the front of the box - use the 7/8" x 2-3/8" strip of designer paper to cover it.
That's all there is to it! To finished these off I cut a 2" circle. On top of that I layered a tree cut with my Pine Tree Punch and a stamped greeting from Itty Bitty Christmas cut with the smallest of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Some red gems & a gold star are the finishing touches.

ReplyDeleteHi and Happy Thanksgiving. I am trying to copy your illustrations of this gift card because I would like to make some for my family. Your blog will not allow me to copy a picture. I have no idea why. Can you help me out? Thank you.
