To celebrate Christmas in July, Annie designed this Christmas card with a cardinal and the small star gift box, using the Cardinal Card and FREE Star Handle Box SVG files. She added her own Season’s Greetings sentiment to the top tag.
After I cutout the first version of the FREE Slanted Gift Box SVG Design, it kind of looked like a tool box. I thought…I bet I could all a handle on the top and it would look like it. Sure enough. This is why I made this version and I wanted an excuse to use this Tim Holtz Idea-ology license plate paper.
I added the panels before I assembled the box.
I used my piercing tool to poke holds for my twine. I tied a not inside on each end to hold it. This twine is more rigid. I love it and have a few rolls of it from Ikea. I never saw it again, but it was a holiday item. I also added a large Fastenater staple to the front of the lid opening. If you have been around awhile, the Fastenator was a thick scrapbooking staple with stapler manufactured by EK Success. It has been discontinued. I still have a lot in my craft supplies though.
That was it! It will make a great gift box for one of the guys in my life. I hope you enjoy the free file!
For the latest free SVG, I created a simple Thank you card. Honestly, i was playing around with a design technique and decided to turn my learning adventure into a freebie for you all! Here it is…the FREE Scallop Thanks Card SVG File. File includes an envelope to fit the card. To make the card more versatile, I also included a blank panel in addition to the Thanks panel.
