Good morning and welcome to the Inkspirations holiday Blog Hop! If you've come here from Keesh's blog, you're right on track. If you're just popping in to my blog, you can start at the beginning by heading to the Inkspirations Challenge blog!

For this blog tour, we are all making something 3D that is for a Christmas gift!!! I was running short on time and so I whipped these up relatively quickly. I needed teacher gifts - talk about last minute -- today is the last day of school for my kids before Christmas break! and considering that I'm typing this an hour before the hop goes live, that's cutting it rather close :)

Anyway, these boxes easily fit 5-7 decently decorated cards. I didn't include envelopes inside each box, no room and too late to adjust the template I'd made up for this ... LOL! It's a matchbox style box, so the card tray just slides out. I'd included a poem about using gift cards rather than just saving them inside each box.

This will be the Inkspirations' final posting for the year. Please check out the rest of the hop -- your next stop on the Inkspirations Christmas Gift blog tour is ...



Thanks for visiting, have yourself a fabulous day :)

Adorable, Renée! Love the boxes! It's a good thing you posted the template too because I'm making boxes of cards for my MIL and SIL today! You just saved me searching. ; )

I received your card on Friday, as well. Beautiful, my friend! Thank you.
