Milk carton style box with the gift bag punch board (video)

 
Wheeeeeeee! the new catalogue launches tomorrow and one of Stampin' Up!'s new releases is the Gift Bag Punch Board (#135862), which makes tall gift bags in a variety of sizes. But with minimal tweaking and just a smidge of swearing, you can also create darling little milk carton style boxes with them.
 
This box uses a 6 1/8" x 11 3/4" piece of cardstock (basically, an A4 sheet trimmed along the shorter edge).
 
It makes a box that is roughly 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 x 2 1/2" (excluding the "roof space"). It's slightly smaller than the box created by the Bakers Box Thinlits in the new catalogue (#138279), but the Gift Bag Punch Board is quite a bit cheaper and it does two things, so to my mind it's an easy choice between the two. It's still big enough to pop in a cupcake, or sweets or biscuits etc (not milk though!).
 
Here's a short video on how to make one:
 
 
I used papers from the Cherry On Top 6x6 paper stack (#138443) and the coordinating cardstock (#139013). The "surprise" stamp is from the Amazing Birthday stamp set (#134228).
 
 
The Gift Bag Punch Board and Cherry on Top papers are available to buy from 2 June 2015. You can buy them from my Stampin' Up shop : http://sambracegirdle.stampinup.net or click on Shop now in the side bar >>>
