Gift Box - Just for You

I actually made this box top a few months ago...maybe even last summer.  I can't remember!  I finally made a bottom for it tonight, and finished it off.

For the top, I used those really sturdy specialty papers - LOVE THEM.  I kept it 12x12, and scored in at 3 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Then score the corners diagonally, fold in and attach.  I used 4 of the Chocolate Chip brads on the top.  For to box bottom, I just stapled it...lazy, I know, but brads would have made it too tight to close.

For the box bottom, I cut the cardstock down by 1/8".  Still scored at 3 1/2" on all 4 sides.  It's a little tight, but it goes.

This picture shows the bottom - Sage Shadow, and how I just wrapped that ribbon around the whole deal.

Stamps:  Oval All

Cardstock:  To The Nines Specialty papers, Sage Shadow, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Staz-On Timber Brown

Other:  Sage Shadow marker, really wide Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Natural hemp, Scallop Oval punch, Movers & Shapers (for the larger scalloped oval layer), Big Shot.
