BIG BOW GIFT BOX

I was inspired to make this 'Gift Box' after seeing a tutorial by Sam Calcott.  I used Graphic 45 cardstock.  Top and bottom are reinforced for sturdiness.  I used a 3" scalloped circle die to make windows on all four sides.  I attached clear acetate on the inside.  I then mounted three dimensional  butterflies on the outside.  It measures 5" x  5 1/2".

Here's a close up of the 'Big Bow'.  It is made of stripes of patterned cardstock with a silk flower in the center.  I also attached two bows and some greenery.

GIFT CARD BOX

      This 'Gift Card Box' was made using cardstock and scraps of different patterned papers.  It measures   4 3/4" x  6" and is 1" deep.  The lid is reinforced with extra layers of paper.


                              

  The bottom of the box is lined with patterned paper and reinforced with light weight chip board.

CARD AND TREAT BOX


This 'Card and Treat Box' is made using cardstock.  It measures  4'' x  4" and is 1" deep.       


I chose the ocean theme photo from some of my favorites in my stash.  Artist unknown.


        When the card is opened it shows this sentiment on one side with room on the other for writing or photos.  


The drawer pulls out to reveal another seagull.


I have attached round black wooden beads on the bottom.
