14" of coordinating ribbon, string or cording.Sticky Strip or clear dots adhesive (for acetate) Your choice of adhesive for the rest of the project.

Directions…

Cut your cardstock and acetate per the dimensions stated above.I didn’t decorate my acetate with any Staz On ink, but if you wanted to;do so now before scoring your acetate.Score your acetate at 1 7/8”, 3 ¾”, 5 5/8”, & 7 ½”; use the 7 1/2”-81/2” flap to place your glue dots (I hide mine in the top & bottom ½” tobe covered by the cardstock).Score the 2 ½” x 8 ½” pieces of cardstock at 2” lengthwise; turn andcut the cardstock until the score line at 8”, 6”, 4” & 2”.Now pick one of those pieces as your top. This is the piece that you willcut a slit and tabs to hold your die cut (or cut out stamped image). Inmy example I used a Cuttlekids bee die. Fold the 1st & 3rd squares in

half (folding into the original score line you created, you should havetwo parallel fold lines). On the second square cut a 1 ¾” slitperpendicular to your original score line. The fourth square will be thebase of your topper.

Fold along your score line, start with the fourth square fold it in, thenthe fold in the tab pieces and finally push the tabs up thru the slit onthe second square.

Glue your die cut to your tabs

 To create the base for your box, fold along the score line and createcreases, using your cut lines as guides. Fold and glue the squares in astack.

Place your base on the table, place the acetate inside your base, andtop. Tie with the ribbon, in a simple knot.

Other ideas without the toppers.

2. Triangle Box

Materials Used: Template, Cardstock, Paper trimmer, scissors, your choice of adhesive,Coordinating B & T papers, Stamp set, & inks

Directions:Print the template on the wrong side of your cardstock.Cut on solid line, score on dotted line (I use my embossing stylus orpaper clip to score using my paper trimmer to create straight lines).

 To create the tree; I used B&T paper and on the back side with a penciltraced the triangle shape and cut inside the lines by 1/8” and then cutoff ½-3/4” off the bottom.I glued the B& T paper onto one triangular side and trimmed the treewith some silver/white ric rac.I used a scrap piece of cocoa cardstock to create the trunk and scuffedit up with sand paper and trimmed with deckle edged scissors.Istamped the gift with cocoa & versamark ink onto hollyhock cardstocktwice and clear embossed. I cut the 2nd stamped lid of the gift andlayered it on top to give a little more dimension and then pop dottedthe pieced gift under the tree.
