2-4-6-8 Father's Day favor box

Needing a quick and easy favor?  Try this 2-4-6-8 box.  Simply take a 6 x 8 1/2" of card stock, score horizontally at 2, 4, 6, and 8 inches -- you should have a 1/2" tab sticking left on edge.  Now rotate 180 degrees and score at 2" on one long side.  Then, cut on the short score lines -- up to the long one -- so you can fold those tabs in at the bottom to form your box.  Next, crease on all score lines with bone folder.  Stamp design on outside of box -- here I used the Circle Circus stamp set.  Finally, take the scallop square punch and punch out a window on one side.  Adhere a 2x2 pc of Light Window sheets behind the window.  Fold the box together -- adhering the walls first, then fold up the bottom tabs, and glue all together with the Tombow Multi glue.  Fill with your Dad's favorite treats, fold together like a milk carton, punch two holes in the top with the Crop-o-dile, and thread a red 1/4" grossgrain ribbon through.  Add the little Happy Father's Day tag -- using the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, the large oval, and scalloped oval punches.  Add the star with a silver brad in the center, to finish it off.

This is a great little box that can be adapted for any occasion.

Here are all three projects we will be doing at my upcoming Father's Day/Masculine cards Class.

Happy Hearts Day Class

I had put off buying the XL Bigz matchbox die, thinking it wouldn't be something I would use much, but I have definitely changed my mind!  There are hundreds of super cute project ideas using this die -- my favorite being an advent calendar shaped like a Christmas tree -- with all the little matchboxes stacked on top of each other to make the tree shape.  I really want to try this idea next year for Christmas.
But, since Christmas is over, I decided to see what I could come up with for Valentine's Day -- and ... ta dah! here it is.  I used the heavy weight window sheets for the outside sleeve, and Real Red card stock for the little box that pulls out.  Because the outside is clear, you can see the little treats inside without opening it. It is the perfect size for three of the little Ghirardelli chocolate squares.  I used some of the new red glimmer paper from the Occasions Mini and the Daiseys #2 die for the cute little flower on top.  The leaves are punched with the new Build a Blossom punch.
This is one of the projects we will be making at my upcoming class -- Happy Hearts Day Class on Jan 23rd, 2 pm.
