Gone Fishing double flap gift card box

 Before we get on to today’s project, I want to let you know I’ll be out the next two weeks.  Next week will be the final high school concert for my granddaughter and a lot of rehearsals for her final ballet performance.  The following week we are busy with final rehearsals and the performances.  I will return the week of June 21st with more fun-filled content.  Also, there is a Designer Series Paper sale which starts today, June 1 and runs through the end of the month, 15% on select papers from the 2023-24 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  You will find those here: https://www.stampinup.com/categories/specials/designer-series-paper-sale?demoid=2109129

Now, onto our projects for the week.  Today I have a double flap gift card box which uses just 1/2 sheet of cardstock.  I designed this specifically to fit a gift card and stay within 1/2 sheet of cardstock.  It will hold six small chocolates as well.  It uses my featured bundle for the week Gone Fishing by Stampin’ Up!  To see how I put this box together, please watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel HERE:





Measurements and Supplies:
Gone Fishing bundle (includes stamp set and coordinating Gone Fishing dies)
Layering Leaves stamp set for outside sentiment (or use what you have)
