Once you've finished this Christmas Quiz, it's time to settle in and make a cute Christmas Project.

Here is the project that Karen Martinez showed us at our Team Meeting. 





And here are the instructions. 

Gift Box – inspired by Connie Stewart

Box Base:  7 ¾” x 9 ¼”

o  With the 7 ¾” at the top, score at 1 ¼” and 6 ½”

o  With the 9 ¼” at the top, score at 1 ¼”, 4”, 5 ¼”, and 8”

·     On one of the 7 ¾” sides, make a small mark at 3 7/8”.  Using a small circle punch (centering mark), punch half a circle.  This will make your opening tab.

 

Fold on all score lines.  Along the 9 ¼” side, cut along the score marks to the first score.  Miter the tabs.




Adhere “A” tabs on inside of “A1” – this will create the bottom of the box

Adhere “B” tabs on inside of “B1” – this will create the top closure

Hope you had fun creating this gift box. Please send me a picture of your creation, I'd love to see them. 

 

Check back tomorrow for the answers. of course, you'll be singing the winning songs all day tomorrow too, but that's okay, it's almost Christmas. This little box can be created with any Stampin' Up! product, click HERE to place an order for the products you'll 

be using to create this box. 


Have a wonderful day everybody.

Love and Blessings
