Are you ready for another great guest designer?! Check out
Holly! She is so crafty!!!
Since the holiday's are coming up, many of us like to give little gifts or baked goods to the people we love. I wanted to show you how to make a simple box that can be made in a flash and only uses one sheet of 12 x 12 paper!
I'm also offering some
Blog Candy to a follower. Keep reading to see how you can win- Yeah!!
I decided to keep the box simple because the paper is so pretty and I just added a few flower rosettes cut from Flower Shoppe. I then wrap the box with a raffia bow and stamped a Thankful sentiment from Gettting Cricky's Fall-O-oween Stamps.
I found this box idea from the Scor Pal website, here's the original link
Cookie Box to give credit to the desiger but here's my how to tutorial also.
1- 12 x12 sheet of cardstock.
Score at 3" and 9" then rotate paper and Score at 1", 3 1/2", 6 1/2" and 9".
Cut ,fold and tape . I leave the extra tabs long inside to give the box a little more support.
Voila....a simple box with endless gift possibilities! Here's a link to another box I've made before
Sweet and Simple.

Give your daughter a big 'ol birthday hug for me! I remember some of the birthday parties I threw for my daughter (she's 37 now and due with her 2nd child in 6 weeks - where DOES the time go). Her favorite (other than yearly slumber parties) was the time I took her group of friends to a local hotel where they swam in the pool until they turned to prunes!

ReplyDeleteLove this box - it looks so amazingly easy - thank you for inspiring me to give it a try! Best place for a birthday that I've done, was for my daughter's birthday when she turned 10. It was called The Girl's Room and they got make up and hair done, danced to her fave music and did all sorts of fun girly stuff!! Thanks for the chance to win the fab candy!! xx
