For my sweet friend – Origami gift box

Hello, today I would like to show you “sassy” Blanche.
Claudia_Rosa_Blance_Box4Blanche is one of the new images Krista drew for Little Darlings Rubberstamps.

This box was a last minute thing I made for Angie to take with her to CHA to show off her beautiful new Design Papers. Aren’t the yellow and purple patterns adorable? They are heavy weight and perfect for boxes, they score beautifully without breaking.

The box has the perfect size to hold some nice gifts for a friend…. think laces or flowers along with a stamp??? cute!
Or just a few Ferrero chocolates to bring when you go to a friend for coffee, sweets for Valentines day?

Best of all, the Origami box (I searched this with GOOGLE – the link I provided was not clean – thank you so much to Kim who took time to email me!) is made in no time. All you need are 2 sheets of patterned paper – I used the largest size 12x12 but you can certainly scale them down to your liking. I would recommend making a sample box out of simple cardstock to see if you like the final size.
