Hello! Today I am joining in on a Spring Blog Hop with It's a Creative World where I am a member of the design team.
Today I am sharing a little cube gift box template with you.
First you need to click on the template to enlarge it and then right click and save to your computer. Print the template out onto the reverse of a piece of card that will go through your printer. I have sized it to print on A4 paper, but you can probably tweak it to fit letter size if you are in the US. Next score on the dotted lines and cut out the solid lines.
Glue the tabs where marked and you have yourselves a cute little cube gift box. Dress it up with punched flowers or ribbon to make it special. I like raffia, I think it works well for spring.
You can then fill it with mints or chocolates and with the aid of a lollipop stick and a circle of card, you could use it as a name card holder for a spring tea party. Your guests can then take this home with them as a little keepsake.
The flowers I used to decorate my boxes are punched using my Petal Pairs punches from Tonic Studios. They are now offering a free download on their facebook page of a fun little magazine that can be used with their punches. I made the daisy flower from a tutorial by Kirsty Wiseman, and the pretty mixed flowers were from a "print and punch" sheet in the same magazine. (All you need to do to get access to the magazine is to like their page on facebook.)
Next on the Hop is Gabrielle, so head on over and pay her a visit to see what inspiration she is offering today.

Thank you for sharing this template! =] I'd been buying pre-cut ones ( have a look at my spring chick boxes: http://moonwolf17.deviantart.com/art/Spring-Chicks-nest-box-288295543 ) but am now going to give this a try.
