Gift Wrapped Plaid Tidings Pizza Style Gift Box. Share it on a Sunday

Good Morning Everyone,

It's a wet and miserable Sunday here today in Huddersfield, which actually is a bit of a relief - we have had such glorious weather over the last week or so, that we really needed a good downpour to cool us down and give the garden a really good water!! haha.

As you all no, Sunday is the day when Donna, Karen and Myself get together and challenge each other to create around the same theme. This week we are creating Treat Boxes. Here's my box.

I kind of feel I have cheated a little, but these pre cut and scored Pizza Boxes are amazing, and a great way to create something really special quickly, and it's easy to bulk make if you have a lot to give!

Measurements

Plaid Tidings DSP

4pc - 7/8" x 3 3/8"

Whisper White Cardstock

scraps for the bow and sentiment

Shaded Spruce Cardstock

Scrap for the sentiment

Take the Pizza box and build it up, I like to burnish the folds to give a nice crisp closure.

Working with the 3 3/8" square piece of DSP, run two lines of ribbon over it to create a cross shape, making them cross over towards the top. I used glue dots to secure to down and then I carefully trimmed the edges so they were flush with the DSP. Add the to the lid of the pizza box, making sure the crossover of ribbon is at the top.

Take the remaining strips of DSP and add these to the sides of the box.

Take a strip of whisper white and round the corners of one side with the detail trio punch, then stamp the sentiment in shaded spruce. Cut a piece of shaded spruce cardstock slightly wider than the whisper white and layer together. trim off the ends just after the sentiment. Now, using a small punch, or I used a craft knife, create a small hole on the rounded edge and thread through some ribbon. I used some bakers twine that I had in my stash - as the hole isn't very big. add a glue dot to the top of the ribbon on your pizza box and stick the bakers twine to it - trim off any over hanging pieces.

On another scrap of whisper white, stamp the bow in memento and once dry, colour the edges in using your Pretty Peacock Stampin Write marker. Add a very generous coating of wink of stella to the centre strips then cut out using the co ordinating punch. Add dimensionals to the back of the bow and place on the top of the box over the ribbon and make sure you cover over to tops of that bakers twine.

It's super simple and quick to create, and as I said before great to batch make. You can easily switch up the DSP and colours to create something ideal for your recipient.

Please do head over and see what Donna and Karen have made too...
