If you are celebrating upcoming holidays, you may be in the midst of wrapping gifts. And sometimes it’s nice to fashion a very special gift box and tag for that certain someone. Though I’m sharing this creative idea around Christmas time, this box & tag combo would be great for Valentine’s Day or just to give to that special person at any time to let them know how grateful you are for them.
Here are the details for this box that measures approximately 7″ x 9-1/4″ x 3/4″ when assembled.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 10-3/4″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 3/4″ on all four sides
- Scrap for die-cutting large star
- Christmastime is Here Specialty Designer Paper
- 10-5/16″ x 8-1/16″ (a little over 10-1/4″ x a little over 8″) scored at 1/2″ on all four sides
- Gold Foil Sheets
- Scrap for die-cutting starry swirl
- Cherry Cobbler Cardstock
- Scrap for die-cutting large star
- Whisper White Cardstock
- Scrap for stamping and punching sentiment circle
- Black Satin Ribbon
- 33″
Directions…
- After cutting and scoring box base and box top pieces, trim in once on all four corners to make tabs, add Tear & Tape (as shown), fold on score lines, and connect tabs.
- Add the ribbon and tie in a bow.
- Die-cut the Basic Black star, the Cherry Cobbler star, and the Gold Foil starry swirl. Pop out the little stars.
- Stamp the sentiment on the Whisper White scrap. Then punch it out.
- Layer the Cherry Cobbler star onto the Gold Foil swirl. Then layer this onto the Basic Black. Add the sentiment circle with Dimensionals. Then add the small the gold stars here and there with Glue Dots.
- Then just add the tag to the top of the box.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS
I’m forming a new Paper Crafters club that will begin mid-December (with orders due mid-month for January, February, March, April, May, and June). And we are looking for more to join us. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
Rachel, are you sure the dimensions for the box are correct? The black piece is larger than the red piece, and the side edges (the part to fold up) are bigger, so it wouldn’t fit inside the red cover.
The scoring on each is different…the top is only scored in 1/2″ on each side, so that will shorten the dimensions by an inch overall in each direction. The bottom is scored in 3/4″ on each side, so that will shorten the dimensions by an 1-1/2″ overall in each direction. So yes. The dimensions are correct. Guessing you were assuming they were scored the same?
Rachel, I love the top of the box. You could also use it for the front of a card.
Absolutely! Thanks Glenda. 🙂
