These favors are from last night’s Facebook Live. You can make them with cardstock or designer paper, in any theme. The one shown above uses a greeting from “Festive Farmhouse” with a designer paper piece from the All is Bright collection. The box itself is made from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock.
This box is made from designer paper. The base and the spotted strip are from the Share What You Love collection.
Here’s a view from the side – you can see that the side panels fold in along a diagonal fold while the front and back panel remain fully upright to create the peaks.
This is how the box opens. Opening and closing the top is best accomplished by pulling the peaks apart to release the folds. There is no adhesive at the box top.
Of course, you can’t look at this shape without thinking of a house…
Here’s a look at my gingerbread house version. The roof is made from 1/2″ strips, and the door is a 1 1/2″ x 2″ piece of designer paper, rounded at the top with the 1 1/2″ circle punch.
And my dog houses <3 !! “Happy Tails” and its coordinating dog builder punch will be available starting January 3. Love that little guy!!
The base dimensions for all of these box favors is 5″ x 9 1/2″. Score at 1 1/2″, 4 1/2″, 6″ and 9″ on the long side, and make a mark at 3″ and 7 1/2″ for the roof peak. Turn the piece and score for the bottom flaps at 1 3/8″. Partially score for the box top (skipping the 3″ sections) at 3 1/2″.
