Happy Tuesday, Everyone! I hope that your week is going well! Can you believe that August is half-way over?? I have seen lots of Social Media posts about kids already going back to school; the kids in my area go back next week! Eek! I imagine that means that there's a lot of last minute shopping, meal-planning, and organization happening for many households. (Or all households, really. I mean, everyone has shopping, meal-planning, and organization to do!)
Well, I'd like to share with you a quick and easy 3D project that you may be able to utilize for this busy Back-to-School Rush! I shared it with a group of ladies a couple weeks ago at a Crop Event and it was huge hit!
This multi-purpose Gift Box is super versatile! You can use it if you want to present your kiddo's new teacher with a little summin'-summin' to start the year off, as a special way to present a home-baked cookie treat to a loved one in their lunchbox, or if you need a vessel to hold some trinkets around the house.
Isn't it sweet?? I originally acquired the box dimensions from Mary Fish and then I just embellished using the Daisy Delight DSP and added a beautiful 3D Daisy using the new Daisy Punch! Shall we get started on today's Tutorial Tuesday?

Directions:
- Place the 6” side of the Crumb Cake Cardstock along the top edge of the Scoring Tool. Score at the 1” mark and the 5” mark.

- Fold along all of the score lines to “pre-fold” your box. Turn the box over.
- Using the Tear and Tape Adhesive, apply small strips onto your six 1” “flaps” you trimmed. Now, assemble your box.
- Using the SNAIL Adhesive, adhere your Daisy Delight DSP to the top, front, and sides of the gift box lid.
- Using the Daisy Punch, punch out your two Daisy shapes, stack one on top of the other using a Glue Dot. Use the Bone Folder to lightly curl the petals, if you wish.
- Apply one last glue dot to the back of the finished Daisy and place on top of your box.
- Finish with a beautiful Faceted Gem of your choice for the perfect amount of “bling”!
I hope you give this little box a go. I used mine to hold some paperclips and other little embellishments in my Craft Area! Let me know what you decided to use yours for! I'd love to hear what you do!
