Trusty Tools Gift Card Box

Howdy, crafty friends! It’s hard to believe it’s already Wednesday and we’re halfway through the week. Holiday weeks are always weird because I never know what day it is. Anybody else have that issue?

This week, I’m feverishly working to completely product prep for a craft show this coming weekend. And today I’m giving you a looksy at a new fun fold project that I took for a spin to create a super cute gift card box. I’m using the retired Trusty Toolbox paper and coordinating stamps, along with the Family Ties stamp and Stylish Shapes dies. Let’s take a closer look.

The box is constructed from Gray Granite cardstock. The outside of the box is decorated with several different patterns from the Trusty Toolbox paper pack. The sentiment panel is cut from white cardstock using the circle dies from the Stylish Shapes set and then stamped with the sentiment from the Family Ties stamp set. The banner is cut from Real Red and adhered behind the sentiment. The sentiment panel is popped up with dimensionals and a few Industrial Trinkets are added for a little pizzazz.

The gift card holder is designed as a pop-up so that it recesses into the box when it closes. It looks complicated but it’s quite simple. Again, I used some of the Trusty Toolbox paper to decorate the lid, along with a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set. The Hershey Nugget treats are wrapped in strips of the Trusty Toolbox paper for a cohesive look. There’s even room for a small pocket knife or other clever (but small) gifty insert.

So what do you think? Isn’t this a clever way to gift a gift card and a little treat! You can snag the tutorial here and give it a try yourself!
