Hexagon Gift Box using Merriest Moments

I was given a sweet little box as a swap by Australian Demo Cazz Boylan at onstage 2018 (Nov 13 on her blog) - how I miss the energy of a live gathering. She called it a Hexagon Gift Box. It's an easy box and you can get two from one sheet of A4.

It can be decorated many ways, these ones use embossed foil for the decorative panel and I have stamped the tags

I made 2 dozen of these as gift boxes for my Christmas Card Class this year, and instead of DSP I stamped a full sheet of A4 using the Merriest Moments stampset and then trimmed it to be the decorative panels on the boxes

I have converted this for metric measurements which is what we had for class

This is the cutting and scoring template

I always like to make a template to keep for future reference.

The adhesive tape goes 1) along the small side flap and 2) on the reverse of the front flap. Adhere and fold in the order shown on the template. ie side flap first then the base- side flaps. rear flap and adhere the front flap last to secure it.

This is the original video which inspired Cazz. Created by the paper pixie (Oct 12 2018). In turn she was inspired by a german designer- so amazing that we can all share and inspire each other. I hope that you will give this a go.

Thanks to all the lovely ladies who came to class and tried  new things each time.

I want to see your boxes when you finish them!

I hope you have a creative week and remember, 

"don't just post online,

 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz
