Simple Nugget Gift Box

To night I amde a simple gift box for some Nuggets, nothing fancy I just wanted one more thing to put in her box before I mailed it tomorrow. I suppose I could have stamped snowflakes on the lid and embossed it with White embossing powder, but I'm affraid I am a novice box maker. I had no directions, and I didnt want to get side tracked online looking for them. I just used my ruler and measured and taped until I had this little box and its contents ready to send.
I used Bold Snowflake Jumbo Wheel and Ballet Blue to make some DP paper on regular printer paper. I figured it was just getting ripped off anyways. I cut it in 1" strips and trimmed it to fit the Nuggets at about 2-3/4". The paper was trimmed to 8" on one side and then scored at one inch intervals two times. I cut about 1 1/4 in of the other end. I dont know I just know the lid is 1/8" wider than the bottom and I folded the sides in and the ends over the top and glued them. Pretty much ,measured the Nuggets and went from their. I need to find a pattern, but maybe another day. I have been Busy like everyone else so I think my daughter will be pleased with these. I also made my Christmas a little bit simple and more stress free by not worring about the little details. That is my message. Enjoy yourself this Holiday Season and don't get caught up in the stress.

I hope you Enjoy my box and have some fun Stamping.


Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
