CHRISTMAS TREE TRUFFLE BOX with WHIMSICAL TREES & CHRISTMAS TREE DIES - Stampin' Up!



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Christmas Truffle Box.  I used some products from the New Mini Catalog that goes Live tomorrow, August 3, 2021 along with the SALEABRATION Catalog.
I used Whimsical Trees stamp set, Christmas Tree dies, Whimsy and Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper,  Simply Elegant Trim and White Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
The box measures  2 1/2  x  3  x  1 1/4".



I started with a piece of Whimsy and Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper sized  8  x  5 3/4".
I scored the 8" side at:
1 1/4,  3 3/4,  5  and  7 1/2".
I scored the 5 3/4" side at:
1 1/4  and  4 1/4".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of what your DSP should look like after scoring and cutting.


Before putting the box together I cut a  1 1/4  x  4" piece of Polished Pink Cardstock with the side of the largest label die from Seasonal Labels dies.
I cut the top of the flap with the same die to make a scalloped flap.
I used Liquid Glue to attach Polished Pink die cut behind the DSP flap with about a 1/8" of the label showing below the DSP.
I put the box together with Tear and Tape.
I attached Adhesive Velcro Dots under the front flap and to the body of the box.


I stamped the small Christmas Tree image, from Whimsical Trees stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstock with Mint Macaron Ink.
I cut the tree out using the Christmas Tree dies.


I tied White Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the front flap and tied a bow at the front.
I secured the bow to the front of the box with a Glue Dot behind the knot.


I punched a small hole in the top of the Christmas Tree and looped 7" of Silver Trim, from the Simply Elegant Trim Pack, through the hole.
I tied the ends of the Silver Trim around the Organdy bow and tied another bow.
For the final touch I added 3 small Polished Pink Jewels, from the 2021-23 In Color Jewels, to the Christmas Tree.
