    Use this technique to create a holiday theme gift box.

    Gift box with slider
    Materials:

    Ellison die cutouts - Tiny Primitive Hearts, Gift & Ribbon tag
    Canson paper
    Mrs. Grossman's Paper Co. stickers
    silver pen by Sakura
    ribbon from Offray
    Pop Dots from All Night Media
    Xyron adhesive
    double-sided tape

    Steps:

    1. Die cut box bottom and top, or hand cut and score both pieces.
    2. Fold on score lines. Fasten each corner of the box with double-sided tape (figure A).
    3. Die cut two pairs of matching hearts. Sandwich ribbon between each set of hearts, attaching one set of hearts to each end of the ribbon. Decorate each heart with silver accents using a silver gel pen.
    4. Loop the ribbon on top of the box and tape to the box where the ribbons cross. Cover the tape with an additional heart (figure B).
    5. Cut two bands to wrap around the box, one slightly narrower than the other. Attach the thinner strip to the wider strip with adhesive.
    6. Wrap the two-colored band around the box, finger creasing at the edge and tape the two ends together in the back.
    7. Raise floral sticker off the band with Pop Dots (figure C).
    8. Add gift tag in matching color to band.
    9. Add silver sparkle to wrapper with silver gel pen. The band or wrapper should slide freely off of box to open gift.
