Naturally I had to try to make one Stampin' Up style. I have used the Scentsational Season stamp set and the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies. DSP is Be of Good Cheer and cardstock is Very Vanilla, ribbon is Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding.
I the instructions on how I made it at the end of this post.
How I Made It
Start with a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock.
Score the cardstock at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10".
Fold the cardstock concertina style (valley fold, mountain fold, valley fold etc)
Measure in 1/2" from each end on both sides and put a small pencil mark. Measure 2 1/2" from this point. Find the centre of the 2 1/2" measurement at 1 1/4" again put a small pencil mark. Measure towards the centre 1" and put a small pencil mark. Draw a triangle (See diagram 1 for an example of the measurements)
Diagram 1
Cut the triangle out, cutting through all layers. This forms the diamond shape on the end of the wrapper. See Diagram 2.
Diagram 2
Cut a piece of DSP 12" x 5 3/4" and adhere to the centre of the cardstock piece. It should look like Diagram 3. At this stage you can ink the edges if you wish.
Diagram 3
Join the sides together to form a box. See Diagram 4.
Diagram 4
Tye ribbon around the end pieces, this pulls the ends together to. Finally you can decorate the box.
