Gift Box Template - 'Snowflake'

his hexagonal gift box measures 45mm high x 85mm wide
(1 3/4" high x 3 3/8"wide)
There's a free downloadable template at the end of this post.

CLICK ON IMAGES FOR A CLOSER VIEW

I used Stampin-Up card - 'Almost Amethyst' it's one of my favourite colours.
I printed directly onto the card (the template sheets are drawn in grey so the lines are not too heavy).
I cut out using a craft knife and made sure that the printed lines went to the inside of the box when gluing it together.

The stamp was a snowflake.
Stamped using VersaMark and embossed with 'Sea-foam White' powder.
I added a few crystal glitter accents and some flat backed pearls.

To finish I ran a Brilliance ink pad - 'Moonlight White' round the edges and sponged across the lid sides.

Click on the images to open full size then save.
These sheets are set to print grey so the lines are not too prominent if you print directly onto your chosen card stock.
They appear very faint but will print OK.

- Box & Lid Liner, Lid Mount & Gift Card -
This second sheet is optional but the liners finish the box off nicely by hiding the glue flaps inside the box and lid.



Thanks for popping by
