Let’s take a closer look at the examples she made for the Christmas season:

SO adorable, right? Let’s dive in!

Allie used her wreath chapstick holder as an example to show how to set up your project if you are going to be adding a pattern – we LOVE her use of the stencil!

Cut your card stock to 5″ X 3 1/4″ for the box. If you are using a stencil or stamping over the surface, you will want to do that now.

Now score on the 5″ side at  (3/8″, 1 1/8″, 3 7/8″, 4 5/8″)
And on the 3 1/4″ side score at (1/4″ 1″, 1 3/4, 2 1/2″)

With your detail scissors, cut out all areas Allie marked below in pen.

For a really neat and tidy assembly, use those detail scissors again to cut into the remaining flaps to create slight V shapes on the untabbed flaps.

Fold in on all the score lines and adhere the skinny flap together to create the box.

Now you can pop that box on any card panel or project you want to use! You can use the slimline dies to cut longer panels, cut in half and pop the boxes on the bottom edges of those, too.

Now you can decorate your little package any way you want! And while these are Christmas themed, we can see these made up for the summer with little palm trees for SPF 5000 lip balms, with flowers for Mother’s Day, maybe a fun Father’s Day add-on? Lots and LOTS of ideas!
