Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator
Hi and welcome back, today I am showing you how I made a matching gift box for the exploding box card I shared the other day. As it was a social birthday I wanted the gift to look special as well. So here is what I cam up with. The present was in a tin so I want a non lidded box for it, I just wanted it to slip in but wanted the bottom of the box secured.

Working out the box size
- I measure the 3 dimensions of the box width, length and depth

- Now I needed to draw a grid

Decorating box front

Time for some close ups
I think you can see that the box matches the card really well.
I hope you will have a go at making a box for an item using my template, let me know if it works!
