Gift Boxes

A note from Mellissa: After 15 years of Tuesday Morning Sketches and approximately 700 or so sketches, it's time to sunset the challenge blog. It's very hard for me to let go but times are changing, trends are changing and challenge blogs just aren't what they used to be.  It's been a great ride!  

For the final two weeks of the year for Tuesday Morning Sketches we go with an Anything Goes theme. I chose to do gift card boxes. My gifting is mostly for adults and teens so I go with gift cards and/or cash.

Works for both sides, I don't have to agonize over shopping and they can get exactly what they want.

They are called book treat boxes from Stampin' Up!, They come in white, pre-cut and scored. It took a 3 1/2' x 9" piece of DSP to cover the box. The punched circle with the die cut snowflake fits over the tab box closure. I punched a tag and added another die cut snowflake.

Here is the opened box

 

A gift card fits perfectly in the bottom. You have to either put a glue dot on the gift card or weigh it down with something like mini candy bars. This is to keep the card from sliding out the side opening.

This is what it looks like from the side.

Here are 2 other patterns I used.

I think it gives a little more thought to gift card gifts to present them in a fancy package.

I know it is a busy time of the year but I hope you find some time to escape to your craft space and do some creating. Or share something with us that you have not posted elsewhere.
