- Die-cut the larger Gifts shape using white, dark green and light green cardstock or construction paper.
- Leave one of the Gifts whole, and trim away parts of the other two Gifts. Layer them on top of the whole Gift to create a layered look.
- Using different colors, repeat the two steps above to create the smaller Gift.
- Use a pencil eraser and ink pad to make polka dots on the bottom of the smaller Gift.
- Position the Gifts inside the card so they show through the opening of the card, and adhere (Figure A).
- To make the box and tag, die-cut the box from the Boxes and Bags set using cardstock or construction paper. Fold on all the perforations.
- Bring the sides of the box together, and interlock the slits at the front and back of the box. Place a small gift inside.
- Die-cut several snowflakes from the Christmas Tree, Ornament, Snowflake & Stocking Die using white paper. Adhere to the top and sides of the box.
- To close the box, interlock the slits on the top of the box.
- To create a gift tag, die-cut the tag on the Gifts die using cardstock or construction paper. Decorate and add a ‟to” and ‟from” message with a white pen, and slide the decorated tag into the slits on top of the box (Main Photo).
