JD Papercrafts: Peekaboo Box for Lindt Snowman

For this little stocking filler box, I've used the Let it Snow Designer Series Paper, and decorated it with a greeting from the Tiny Keepsakes stamp set, and a glitter enamel dot from the Toile Tidings suite.

I love the way the snowman peeks out through the hole in the box!

Hope you like it!

Instructions:

I used a piece of the DSP cut to 7" x 5 3/4" (18cm x 14.5 cm)

On the short side, score at 1 1/2", 4 1/4", 5 3/8" (4cm, 11cm, 13.5cm)

Now turn to the long side, with the narrow section at the top.

Score at 1 3/4", 3 1/4", 5", 6 1/2" (4.5cm, 8.5cm, 13cm, 17cm)

and, to the first score line only at 2 1/2", 5 3/4" (6.5cm, 15cm)

Score diagonal lines, from the end of the short score lines to the bottom corners of the rectangle below, as in the template.

Fold & burnish all the score lines, noting that all folds will be mountain folds, with the exception of the diagonal lines and the horizontal fold at the top of the diagonals. These will be valley folds.

Fold down the top section and use a 1" circle punch to punch a hole approximately centred just above the 2nd score line, as in the template.

Cut up the score lines at the bottom, and remove the small rectangle on the bottom right. Wedge into the remaining tab.

Use Tear & Tape on the tab & fold over to join the left hand side. Fold in the bottom sections & use Tear & Tape or Tombow to adhere.

Push in the sides to form a milk carton top.

I punched holes in the top section, a short distance in from the edge, and used ribbon to hold the top closed.

To decorate, I stamped the sentiment using Real Red ink on Whisper White card, and punched it out using the 1" circle punch. I mounted that on a circle of Real Red card, punched out using the 1 1/8" scalloped circle punch.

I used a dimensional to attach the sentiment to the front of the box, and finished it with one of the Toile Tidings glitter enamel dots.
