Gift Card Box

You may already know that my husband Mike is a real estate broker/agent. Whenever he has a closing, he gives his clients a gift – usually gift cards. Usually he asks an hour before the closing if I have an appropriate card – so I thought I’d get ahead of the game. I ordered the Gift Card Envelope and Trims Thinlits Dies along with the Holiday Home stamp set and Homemade Holiday Framelits bundle. I haven’t had a chance to create any cards/gift cards yet, but I did make this cute little box!

I die cut the gift card from Santa & Co. designer series paper. Then I created a box from Real Red card stock. You simply cut a 6-7/8″ x 5-9/16″ piece of card stock. Score 1-1/2″ on all found sides, then snip the “flaps” and adhere to create a box. The gift card envelope fits perfectly on top!

I tied the box together with a strip of Real Red Satin Woven Ribbon and added a tag with more Santa & Co designer series paper and a star cut from silver foil.

This is a nice sized box. It will hold candy, jewelry (large jewelry – or even an ensemble!) – anything the size of a gift card and 1-1/2″ deep.

Thanks for stopping by Stamping with Buffy. Have a wonderful day!
