Turn your own gift card box into any gift giving occasion – thank you, birthday, holiday gift or just because. They can also be turned into party favors, stocking stuffers, place settings and more. How about making 8 for each day of Hanukkah or 25 as an Advent countdown? You are not limited to using the boxes for a gift cards either. Stuff the boxes with cash, candy, jewelry, tea bags, trinkets or anything else you can fit into a 3-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ x 1″ box. Change up the colors, decorative papers belly band/ribbon and toppers and there are infinite possibilities.

I really love using my Paper Trimmer when making these boxes and other 3D projects. It’s one of the best I have used.
