Decorated Christmas Gift Box

For the box lid: Cut a 4 7/8" square of the burgundy/stripes border paper with the border along the upper edge. Ink the edges. Cut out the “Merry Christmas” border, then cut a 4 7/8" length of it, positioning the greeting in the center. Glue to the burgundy piece just below the border, leaving the area near the left end unglued.

Cut out the “rejoice” paper art and mat on green cardstock with 1/32" borders. Use the knife to cut the center dotted line, creating a clip. Attach it to the border at the upper left and glue. Insert a brad near each end of the border as shown. Glue the constructed lid to the box lid.

Place a 2½", 2", and 1¾" Dazzles™ tree on green textured paper. Cut around the outer edge, then glue them to the lid as shown. Bend the tree sections upward, adding dimension.

For the sides and bottom: Cut four 5"x½" burgundy/green stripes and ink all the edges. Glue one piece to each box side. Cut a 5" square of burgundy textured paper, ink the edges, and glue to the box bottom. Fold all the score lines and construct the box. Add tissue paper and a gift card or small gift to the box, then close the lid.
