Merry Christmas Nugget Boxes


I needed to make two nugget boxes at the last minute as gifts. I used some old Dp I had lying around for wrapping the nuggets. I cut it at 1 " and then in 3 1/2" strips. I stamped the Alphabits Stamp 6 stimes and then punched out the letters for merry christmas with my 1/4" circle Punch then punched out the outer circle matting with a 1/2" punch after attacheing the 1/4" letters. I used 12x12 SU cardstock to make the boxes in The Old SU colors.


I cut the sheets at 6" then scored at 3/4" and 1 1/2" all the way around for the bottom, then I scored at 1/16" less than the 3/4" and 18" less than the 1 -1/2 " on the green Cs for the lid on the long edge I cut along the inner score line to the last score line then used tape runner to glue the long edges over and then folded the flaps in and folded the end flaps over the top to make the box and lid. the nuggets were a hair tight so one nugget is upsidedown in the box on both rows. I eheat embossed the top using Autumn Leaves Swirls and gold embossing powder. The ribbon is an old after Christmas purchase from a few years ago. It was nice to have all the supplies on hand to put this gift together for some unexpected guest tomorrow.
Until later ...Happy Stamping!
