Gnome for the Holidays two flap box for Hershey Miniatures - Stampin' UP!


Hi Friends,
My project today is a  3 1/4  x  2  x  3/4"  box that has two top flaps.  I made it to fit 6 Hershey Miniature candy bars.  You can make 2 of these boxes from 1 piece of 8 1/2 x 11" Cardstock.  I used Gnome for the Holidays stamp set, Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper and Snowflake Splendor Ribbon from Stampin' Up!



I started with a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock sized  7 1/2  x  5 1/2".
I scored the 7 1/2" side at:
2,  2 3/4,  4 3/4  and  5 1/2".
I scored the 5 1/2" side at"
3/8,  1 1/8,  4 3/8  and  5 1/8".
To cut and put this box together you can watch my Video here.


I put the Snowflake Splendor DSP on the box while it was still flat.
You need pieces sized:
(2)  3 1/8  x  1 7/8"
(2)  3 1/8  x  5/8"
(2)  5/8  x  1 7/8"
I punched a hole in the middle of one of the flaps using the Detail Trio Punch.


I stamped the image from Gnome for the Holidays stamp set on Whisper White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Ink.
I colored the Image with Stampin' Blends:
Dark Balmy Blue for hat and clothes,
Light Smokey Slate for bell,
Dark Smokey Slate for boots,
you can use Light Petal pink and Rocco Rose for nose and
Light Petal Pink for the hands.


I fussy cut the image out and attached it to a piece of Balmy Blue Cardstock sized  1 3/8  x  2 3/8" with liquid glue.
I attached the Balmy Blue Image piece to Pacific Point Cardstock sized  1 1/2  x  2 1/2".
I attached it over the ribbon on top of the box with Dimensionals.


I put some Wink of Stella on the Gnome's hat and bell.  I also attached some Adhesive Backed Snowflakes around the top of the image.
I put Snowflake Splendor Ribbon down through the top of the hole in the box, wound it around the box and tied a bow on the side.
