All Boxed Up For Christmas

It always seems as though the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas pass with the blink of an eye, but this year has been crazy.  I worked like a mad woman yesterday evening to get my packaging completed - I am happy to report mission accomplished!

Here are some of the boxes I made for gift cards and ornaments.




For the tag, I used the Bells & Boughs stamp set with the Big Shot, one of the Lots of Tags Sizzlits and the Wide Oval Punch.


Jolly Holiday Boxes for Ornaments






I purchased large glass balls from Michael's and painted them with some shiny glitter glue.  I was very happy with the result - it really sparkles with the lights on the tree.


Box Instructions:
Box: 10 1/4" x 10 1/4", scor @ 3 1/2" on all sides (I trim all flaps down to about 3/8" wide and assemble using Sticky Strip)
DSP: 4 pieces - 3" x 3 1/4"

Lid: 5 15/16" x 5 15/16", scor @ 1 1/4" on all sides
DSP: 4 pieces - 1" x 3 1/4"
         1 piece - 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"

Ciao for now!
