Christmas Cards in a Gift Box

By: Debbie Moran

Supplies:

2 pieces of card stock for the box (can be the same color or different)

Designer Paper

Card stock for cards and layering

Scoring tool

Paper Cutter

Bone Folder

Stamps

Adhesive

Embellishments (not pictured)

Dies or punches (optional, not pictured)

Die Cut Machine (optional, not pictured)

Step One:

Cut both pieces of card stock 7 ¾ x 7 ¾. 

 

               

  

Step Two:

Place your first piece of cardstock on your scoring tool and score each side at 1 1/8”.  This will make your bottom.

Step Three:

Score your second piece of card stock at 1”. This will make your top.

Step Four:

Cut one of the inside lines of each corner all the way to the score line on all four sides. Do this for both pieces of card stock.

Step Five:

Fold all four score lines in on both pieces of card stock. 

Step Six:

Attach all four tabs to make a tray. Do this to both pieces of card stock.

Step Seven:

Cut 4 pieces of designer paper 14/8 x 5 ½ and adhere them to the sides of your top. You may want to verify the measurements.

Step Eight:

Cut one piece of designer paper 5 ½ x 5 ½ to put on the top of your lid.

Step Nine:

Finish decorating to your liking.

Step Ten:

Create your cards to your liking for inside the box. Make sure they look like the outer box.
