Stamping is Like a Box of Chocolates
Today I wanted to share a small fold-up gift box that is really fairly easy to make — if not just a little time consuming. The directions for the Origami Box can be found over at Splitcoast. The only difference is that the original directions use a 12″ x 12″ piece of paper for the basic box, but I found that it was better to use an 11″ x 11″ piece. That way the chipboard base and flap could be covered by a piece of 12″ x 12″ DSP (Desginer Series paper.)
This little box would be perfect to use for some 3″ x 3″ gift cards or even easier, some chocolate! Let’s go for the instant gratification here, folks. However, I did make one small card with the same DSP to show the possibilities for a card box.
