Tutorial Thursday - Gift Card Holder

Hello crafty friends! 
It's Tutorial Thursday and I'm sharing how I made these adorable Christmas Gift Card Boxes using the NEW SUITCASE DIE!

You will need:

Suitcase Die

Hippo Holiday Stamp set

Many Dots Layering Stencil

Hearts and Harlequin layering stencils

Pierced Scallop Circles Die

Pinecone Bough Die

Heart Wreath Die

Glue

Foam Tape

Glitter Glue

Glitter pen

Glossy Accents

Coloured/white cardstock

Nuvo Drops

Distress Oxide Ink

Twine

I started by stenciling on Neenah white cardstock the So Many Dots Stencil with Distress Oxide Ink in the colour festive berries.  I then ran it through my Gemini with the new Suitcase die.  I cut an additional suitcase out of white card stock 

(You will need 2 suitcase cutouts to complete the box - one for the top, one for the bottom)

At opposite ends I taped down the stitched semi circle and ran through the die cutting machine to create the tabbed openings.

I then assembled both the upper and lower box by following the score lines and applying liquid glue to the corners.

I then used both colored and white cardstock and cut the side and top labels out then glued down to the box.

After the box and side labels are attached down I die cut the corners and glued down to the top 4 sides.



 I did some additional die cutting using the Heart Wreath Die, Pinecone Bough Die, Pierced Scallop Circles Die.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark black ink and heat embossed in clear.  Using a piece of foam tape I attached the sentiment to the box.

I then began the fun of layering and completing these cute gift boxes.

From bottom up I stacked the Pinecone Bough Die, Pierced Scallop Circle Dies, twine then finished with the Hippo Holiday clear stamps and on the left of the box the small Heart Wreath Die

I used a Spectrum Noir clear glitter pen to add some sparkle to the heart wreath die and the pierced scallop circle die and for the hippos hats I added some glitter glue, I finished off the boxes by adding some glossy accents to the candy cane and the ornament and a few drops of red Nuvo drops.
