AWESOME HOT COCOA and PEPPERMINT STICK STACKED BOX with HOLLY JOLLY WISHES



Hi Friends!
My project today is a double gift box for 2 packets of Hot Cocoa and 4 Small Peppermint Sticks.  It is the perfect  box to add some Cash or a Gift Card too.  It is also perfect for a teachers, bus drivers and many others.  The finished box measures  3 1/2  x  4 3/4  x  1 1/4".  I used Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set, Peppermint and Gingerbread Designer Series Paper, Layering Circle dies and Gold Shimmer Ribbon.



I started with 2 pieces of Real Red Cardstock.
Box A Cardstock sized  9  x  6 3/4".
I scored the 9" side at:
1/2,  4,  4 3/4  and  8 1/4".
I scored the  6 3/4" side at:
3/4,  5 1/2  and  6 1/4".
Below is a picture of how your Box A Cardstock should look after scoring, cutting, taking a finger grip out of the back panel of the box with a small circle punch and rounding the corners of the flap with the Detail Trio Punch.


Box B Cardstock is sized  6  x  4".
I scored the 6" side at:
1/2,  2 3/4,  3 1/4  and  5 1/2".
I scored the 4" side at:
1/2".
Below is a picture of how Box B should look after scoring and cutting.
To Put both boxes together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.


I attached several pieces of Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper to the boxes.
Box A
(1)  3 1/4  x  4 1/2"  for the front.
(1)  3 1/4  x  1/2"  for the top flap.
(2)  1/2  x  4 1/2"  for the sides.
Box B
(1)  2  x  3 1/4"  for the front.
I attached the DSP to the boxes with Liquid Glue.


After I put the DSP on the boxes I attached the small one on top about 1/8" above the DSP on the bottom box with Liquid Glue.
I put Real Red Sheer Ribbon and Gold Shimmer Ribbon together and wound it around both boxed tying a bow to the top left of the small box.


I stamped the sentiment from Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set onto Basic White Cardstock with Real Red Ink.
I cut the sentiment out with a circle die from the Layering Circle dies.
I cut a larger circle from Old Olive Cardstock and a larger Scalloped Circle from Red Foil Paper using the same dies.


I attached all the circles together with Liquid Glue.
I attached them all to the top of the small box with Dimensionals.
For the final touch I added some Gilded Gems around the sentiment.
