Christmas Classics Scalloped Gift Card Box

Greetings!

'Tis the season for giving and gift cards are a wonderful gift, however, we want to have the card wrapped in something adorable.  The Scalloped Gift Card Boxes are the perfect solution!  They are furnished with a removable insert that is designed to sit at an angle in the box with little slots on opposite corners for the gift card to slide into.  All you need to do is add your own decorative touch to the outside to personalize it for any occasion.



I wanted a festive feel to the box and the Shaded Spruce Textured Shimmer Paper provides the perfect base.  These papers are gorgeous!  They come in a three color pack of Shaded Spruce, White and Balmy Blue.  It's hard to see in these photos, but they have a lovely shimmer to them.  To keep the box closed, I created a belly band to wrap around it, then decorated the top with the holly leaves and berry tag die cut from the Christmas Classics dies.  The label die to layer on it for the greeting is part of the same die set, so it all comes together beautifully.  To give added stability to the  Joy of Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) I fused it to Sweet Sorbet cardstock before die cutting.  This keeps the rather delicate berries and holly leaves from getting damaged from handling since they overhang the edges of the box a little bit.

You'll notice there's not even any additional embellishments! 😮😁  I tried a few different little gems and pearls, but nothing seemed right, so that told me it's complete just as it is!
