Simple favor box you need to know how to make

Hi Stamping Friends! Today I want to show you this nice little favor box. This box was demonstrated to us at Creativity Now, an event put on by Stampin' Up! for it's demonstrators. I loved this box. It was so simple yet a great size and easily customizable with any papers, colors, sentiments, to fit your needs.

This first box is made with the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper, a favorite of mine. I added a little tag with a for you from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle. There are so many sets with for you or something similar. I loved the flower sprig in Gallery Blooms dies, so I used that in Crumb Cake and added some white to the tops and a Mossy Meadow fern from the same dies.

The box starts with an 11 by 4 piece of paper, so you can get 3 from a sheet of 12 x 12 designer paper.

Score the long sides at one inch (both sides) then turn and score at 2,3 and 7,8 inches. Fold along the score lines and snip the tabs. You can glue the tabs or just allow the ribbon or belly band to keep the box closed. The box fits a lot, even a gift card if you put it on a slight angle.

There is a full video for this box here on my YouTube channel:

I made a few of these boxes. First I will show you the version from the Stampin' Up! event. It uses some new papers and stamps that are coming in the next Mini Catalog in September.

Here is one from the Perennial Lavender paper and the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.

This next version uses the Wildly Flowering Designer Paper again, with a Wild Wheat pattern. The For You is from Birthday Celebrations.

Check the video for some tips and tricks to putting it all together. These boxes are so simple and customizable, you will make them all the time. Great for Wedding Favors, baby showers, office co-workers, teacher appreciation, you name it.
