PCC406 Warm Hugs Pen Box

Hi All!  This week's Paper Craft Crew challenge is to post a project with your favorite holiday stamp set.  I was excited to recently receive the Warm Hugs set from the Holiday Catalog, which will be retiring on January 4.  

I started by creating pen box packaging for my downline gifts.    

I wanted a tapered box so you could see the In Color pens that coordinate with the box card stock and DSP colors.  

Here is a sketch of the measurements I used.

• Cut 3-1/2 x 4-1/2" card stock base, scoring at 1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 4".  Create a 1/2" tapered opening as shown.  
• Punch holes with paper piercer 1/2" apart to thread elastic cord on 1-1/2 x 3-1/2" piece of card stock to hold the pens.  Make sure to leave a little slack in the elastic cord for the pens.  Attach this piece inside the box with Dimensionals.  Decorate box as desired.

Of course you need a little notecard from the same stamp set.  This one was inspired by a card by Helen Chapman, using coordinating colors.

I hope you can stop by and join our challenge this week.
