Perfect Presentation: Treat Box and Gift to Go

***2 posts today.  Scroll down to the next post for the Sketch Girl challenge card***



I have 2 new templates available today in the Wild Flower Patch shop.  This one is called Treat Box and it's a cute little box that has a lid that stays closed on it's own.  I decorated this one for my 8yo daughter to hold the reward tickets she earns for completing her morning, afternoon and bedtime routines--this cuts down on fighting, being late, nagging, etc.  She can turn her tickets in for cash so the box is well taken care of! 

Here's a side shot:


Open view:


Treat Box uses 2 sheets of 8.5 x 11 cardstock and measures 3.75 x 3.75 x 2.25.

**************************************

You saw a peek of this next template a few days ago and here's another one I made using a new stamp set from Wplus9 Designs called Funky Foliage. I was trying to make the sentiment resemble a fortune from a fortune cookie. 

 I think this template might be my personal favorite.  Gift to Go is my version of a chinese take out box.  I love chinese take out boxes and found the templates I came across were tiny and had some complicated score lines.  I was able to make a nice sized box using 2 sheets of 8.5x11 cardstock and the best of all...it's easy! 
For the side flaps, I scor-tape them down so I can punch my hole for the handle and not worry about holding the flaps in place.  I used 20 guage wire that I found in the jewelry section of the craft store but ribbon would work just as well for a handle.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
