Since this month's theme is Christmas, I decided to use my favorite paper, Fitting Florets DSP.  I needed a box for a mug that I purchased for a gift. I used Soft Succulent cardstock and the mistle toe sheet from Fitting Florets DSP. I did take inspiration from Ann Melvin Ann Melvin. Her video shows how to make it. 

 Cut List: 

Soft Succulent: 11"x12" (2) 

Score on the short side at 6" and 10-1/2"

On the long side score at 1/2", 5", and 9-1/2"

Soft Succulent Inside: 7"x 5-1/2"

Score 1/2" on all sides.

DSP:  5 7/8" X 4 3/8"  (Cut 4)

         4 3/8" X 4 3/8"  (Cut 2)

I used my Dark Real Red Stampin' Blends to color the berries, making this look even more like Christmas. In addition, the directions calls for 3 pieces, but I cut one more for the bottom of the box, after it was folded. It provides a clean look for the gift box.

Here is the inside of the box. At the bottom, the cup sits on piece with a whole cut in the cardstock.

After the box is finished, wrap the box with Real Red Ribbon and Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbons and make someone's day with such a lovely gift.
