Christmas acetate box |

Emboss your acetate box: both ends of the box are the same, so look at one end and notice that there is a closure flap on one side and nothing on the other. Slide your box into the embossing folder over the side of the box with nothing (no closure flap). Your folder should be half inside the box and half outside. With the box flat (not opened up to assemble) it will fit through your BigShot. Remember to always send your embossing folder through "fold first" and emboss your box.
Use your stamp set and circle framelits to create the scalloped circle and a smaller sentiment circle. The size and sentiment can be adjusted to your needs. Add an enamel embellishment to the sentiment.
Thread ribbon through an ornament and tie a bow. Add another loop of ribbon and attach to the back of your die-cut circles. Layer your circles onto a metallic doily. Layer a flagged piece of gold glimmer paper to the back of the circles. Feel free to use dimensionals between layers as you desire.
Create a tag using the scallop-top tag punch. Attach your embellished circles to the tag.
Assemble your box, folding on all the score lines and tucking the bottom of the box closed. Use a clip to attach the entire tag to the embossed/front of your box. Fill box with your choice of gift and carefully close the box without disturbing your clip.
