This is a fun gift box to make and it’s the perfect size for three 3″ x 3″ Note Cards & Envelopes, or any small gift including chocolates!
I designed this box for our January Stamp Share for Leader Meeting Make & Take. My inspiration was from Crafty Caroline’s You Tube Video (click here to view Caroline’s video)
With a couple modifications I made a box using the Tulip Builder Punch and the Pleased As Punch Designer Series Paper (details below).
This box is fun to make and has so many possibilities!

Terri, can another dimensional be added in the slot mechanism so as to adhere 2 of them to the back of the heart to make it more stable vertically? I’m anxious to make this card box and set of cards to give as gifts for friends.
Hi Linda, that’s a great idea! Two dimensionals next to each other would add stability to the image on the slider. Thanks for sharing your idea!
