FESTIVE 3D EMBELLISHED GIFT BOX with GINGERBREAD and PEPPERMINT - Stampin' Up! *



Hi Friends!
My project today is a Gift Box that measures  2 3/4  x  2 1/4  x  7/8" and I made a 3D embellishment for the front.  I used  Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper, Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, Peppermint dies and the Layering Circle dies.



I started with a piece of Old Olive Cardstock sized  7 1/4  x  6 3/4".
I scored the  7 1/4" side at:
7/8,  3 5/8  and  4 1/2".
I scored the  6 3/4" side at:
1/2,  2 3/4,  3 5/8  and  5 7/8".
To cut and put the box together you can watch my Video Tutorial Here.
Below is a picture of how your Cardstock should look after scoring, cutting and rounding the corners of the front flap with the Detail Trio Punch.


I attached several pieces of Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper to the box.
(3)  2  x  2 1/2" for the front back and inside.
(2)  5/8  x  2 1/2"  for the sides.
(2)  2  x  5/8"  for the top and bottom.
I attached the DSP to the box with Liquid Glue.


I cut 4 ornaments from the Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper using the Peppermint dies.
2 Old Olive and 2 Real Red Ornaments,
I scored each ornament down the middle at about 7/8".
I glued two red ornaments together at the sides, then the green ones on either side of the red ones.
Once they were dry I attached the flat side to the front of the box.


I stamped the sentiment, from Frosted Gingerbread stamp set, onto Basic White Cardstockwith Real Red Ink.
I cut the sentiment out with a 1 5/8" circle die from the Layering Circle dies.
I cut a matching Scalloped Circle from Real Red Cardstock using the same dies.
I glued the sentiment on top of the scalloped circle and added it inside the front flap of the box all with Liquid Glue.


I put about 14 Andes Mint Candies inside of the box.  Next I added a Adhesive Velcro dots to the inside of the flap and body of the box.
For the final touch I added Real Red Sheer Ribbon around the top of the lid and tied a bow at the top.
