Stacked With Love Cute Gift Box



I love this cute little gift box! 
 Perfect if you need to send a little gift of chocs or jewellery to someone. 
 I've used the Stacked With Love DSP stack - so versatile and such great value for money!

Here's how I made it...

The measurements I've used originate from the amazingly talented Sam Hammond Donald. You'll need 2 pieces of Basic Black cardstock - 1 for the lid and 1 for the base.  Cut a piece of 5 15/16" x 5 15/16" for the lid and score at 2" on all 4 sides.  The base measures 4"x4" and is scored on all sides at 1"

Holding the lid piece, cut up the right hand scoreline up to the horizontal scoreline and notch in (take a small piece out of either side of the furthest right tab.  Turn 45 degrees and cut as before.  Repeat until all 4 sides have tabs cut.

Flip over so the right side is facing upward.  Put Tombow or Fast Fuse on the 4 small tabs, stick the 1st one to the inside of the lid, turn, stick the 2nd and repeat until all 4 are stuck.  So the same for the base.

Cut 4 x 1 13/16" x 7/8" pieces from the Stacked With Love DSP Stack for the base sides. Cut 1 x 1 7/8" x 1 7/8" for the centre of the lid and 4 x 1 7/8" x 7/8" for the sides of the lid (tip - be sure to cut the right way if using hearts!).

Assemble the box then adhere the panels, leaving a 15/16" border on all sides.  Finish the box with a bow in Basic Black cardstock using the Bow Builder Punch.  I attached a tiny heart to the bow using Real Red cardstock and the Heart Border Punch.
