Holiday Top Note Boxes

Instructions: This small box is the perfect size for some holiday goodies or to dress-up a gift card.

I used Creamy Caramel for the Reindeer box, which is shown below and Blush Blossom card stock to create the Santa box.

Start with a piece of card stock that is 6" x 11". Score in at 1 1/2" on both the long sides. Then turn 90 degrees and score at 4 1/2" and 6 1/2".
Measure 2" in from the end of the cardstock. Use your paper cutter or hobby blade to cut from the outside edge to the scored mark on both sides.

You will be making 4 separate cuts, each 1 1/2" long.

Use scissors to cut along the score lines down to where you made the cuts. This is what the piece should look like before you begin folding.
Use the scallop edge punch and the slot punch to create a decorative top to the box and place to tie the ribbon. You also need to cut along the center score marks.
Use SNAIL adhesive and sticky strip to complete your box.

This is what the finished side view will look like.

 

This is the finished front view before attaching the Top Note pieces.
  Now to create the fun "fronts" for your box.
