Fine Art Designer Series Paper Candle Favor Box

How cute is this little candle favor box.  This is perfect for a small thank you gift or party favor.  I used Very Vanilla Cardstock and Fine Art Designer Series Paper.  The completed box measures 2" x 2 1/4", back panel is 4 1/2" in height.  It's perfect for a small candle, but would also work for candy or other small items.

Details:

• Very Vanilla Cardstock box:  9" x 4" and score:
• Score on the long side at 2", 4", 6", 8"
• Score on the short side at 2" (bottom)
• Very Vanilla Cardstock back panel:  2" x 4 3/4" - punch on one end using Scalloped Tag Punch
• Fine Art DSP:  3 3/4" x 1 7/8" - for the back panel
• Fine Art DSP: 2" x 8" to wrap around the box

Put your box together first and then add the back panel.

Organize It Friday: Card Keeper Boxes

I like to have a stash of Stampin' Up! greeting cards on hand and ready to go for any occasion.  I store my Stampin' Up! cards in Card Keeper Boxes.  I send a lot of birthday cards, so I like to have one box just for "Birthdays".  I use dividers to separate the cards by kids, female and male.  I also have a box labeled "Cards" which has a variety of theme cards.. anniversary, baby, get well, thank you, etc. and the last box is for "Ideas".  These are the special cards/fold cards that I keep for a template.  Dividers make it easy to find a card.

Pool Party and White are the theme colors for my craft room so I like everything to coordinate.  I bought designer file folders and cut them down to use as front panels inside the clear boxes.
