Isn't this the cutest little gem! I love to make special little extra touches like this 3-D box and it can be used for dual purposes! One to hold these adorable 3 X 3 gift cards and envelopes but also it could be used for some candies…some little gifts like gift cards and chap-stick…lots of ideas!

I make these often to give as gifts! Isn't it just a perfect and practical little something to give! I have made cards for the holidays…for birthdays – you can add a monogram…the ideas are endless! It "whips" up SUPER quick and uses minimal supplies! I was inspired by a fellow PALS Demonstrator, Beth Beard! Please watch Beth's super informative video on all of the scoop of how easy this is to make!

I often get asked, "How do you decide on what colors to start a project?" EASY  – as you know I love liners in my envelopes…I truly usually choose that 1st because I know I can find a perfect decorative paper to be the WOW factor to my project! The decorative paper pack of "Birds of a Feather" was my go to! The other factor that ALWAYS makes it super easy is that Stampin' Up! always lists the colors of paper that coordinate with the paper packs!

Using super basic tools to make this come to life is so crisp and clean! The 1 1/4 " Square Punch is the clean edges that are just a click!!! I decided to use the Black Staz On because I thought I would add a bit of color to the cards but then I changed my mind – I really liked the clean and crisp look of the black!

The Stamps used came from the Spring Sampler Set that is in the Spring Catalog! This is an adorable set and I find that I use the "smaller" stamps like this a bunch as it is element"just the perfect element" to make a statement – same goes with the Teeny Tiny Wishes, this stamp set is definitely in your "A List" to have!

One thing that is a "FOR SURE" when you make boxes and most 3-D projects is to use sticky strip adhesive…why~ because it is our super strong adhesive and most 3 D's need that extra support! As always, I popped the various colors with Stampin' Dimensionals and lined that precious little envelope….The envelope?…where did they come from? Stampin' Up! of course! These little guys get overlooked all the time…(page 160), the square envelopes come on a package of 40 and are super handy to have on hand!
