What’s in the box?

Well, I can’t tell you as it would spoil the surprise!

But over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week the challenge is to make or decorate a gift bag or box.

I had to mull this over a little as I’m not usually one to make anything from paper that isn’t a card or album…

But thankfully my We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board includes instructions for making gift boxes from 12×12 paper.

The biggest box you can make is 4″ cubed and here’s the result having delved into what’s left of my ancient festive-related stash:

Gift Box | American Crafts Tag

Paper: Basic Grey
Ribbon and tag: American Crafts

Gift Box | American Crafts Tag
Very simple I know, but sometimes less is more and at this time of the year it’s nice to make something that’s quick, simple and uses up old neglected items in your craft stockpile. 🙂

Make sure you check out the much more elaborate projects from the rest of the design team over on the blog. 😀

Happy crafting!
