The Gift of Giving Card Box by Donna

 Hi all,

I love Christmas and the Gift of Giving Collection is wonderful to work with. 

How gorgeous is everyone's projects on the blog..

I created a set of cards and wanted to place them in a box as a gift ..

So I made this pizza box to hold them in and knew I wanted to use the gorgeous 

The Gift of Giving Singing Candles Die - CO727912 on the cover of the box.

I cut the box from the Garnet Cardstock - ULT200067 

12 inches x 8 inches, score at 1 inch, 5 1/2 inches, 6 1/2 inches, 11 inches. Turn the cardstock and score at 1 inch and 7 inches. Cut as shown. 

All the mats to fit the box.

Cut three white mats at 5 3/4 inches x 4 1/4 inch

Cut two pattern pieces at 5 5/8 inches x 4 1/8 inch

Cut six white cardstock at 5 3/4 inches x 3/4 inch

Cut six pattern paper pieces at 5 5/8 inches x 5/8 inch

Cut eight white cardstock at 4 1/4 inches x 3/4 inch

Cut eight pattern paper pieces at 4 1/8 inch x 5/8 inch

Ink all the edges lightly with Memento Luxe Ink Pad Rhubarb Stalk 

Adhere all the pattern paper to the white pieces except one large white piece of cardstock which goes on the inside base.

Put the box together first then adhere the strips on as this covers up all the joins of the box.

Outside of the box, Adore this paper.

I did this the hard way, what I should have done was die cut this with a adhesive backing lol. 

I die cut The Gift of Giving Singing Candles Die - CO727912 out twice, once in the Matte Gold Mirror Board C0725410  and once in the Garnet Cardstock - ULT200067 I then carefully adhered all the gold insides of the die to the red die cut as shown.

I added three pearls on two corners and adhered the gorgeous The Gift of Giving Singing Candles Die - CO727912 with 3D Foam tape.

I also die cut the Peace On Earth Mini Die - CO727921 several times to build up the layers and adhered to the inside cover.

The cards I created using The Gift of Giving 12 x 12 Collection Pack - CO727895 

All six cards fit inside the pizza style box nicely.

The finished project.. 

I hope I have inspired you

to create glorious things
Hugs
