Instructions:

  1. For the box: Cut three 4 3/8"x1 1/16" pieces from red dots paper and three from green/red sprigs paper. Glue them to the sections of the box, alternating the papers. Close the box ends. Wrap the box with the red/white striped ribbon and tie a bow over one red section. Knot the ribbon ends and trim to 2"-2¾".
  2. For the gift card front: Cut a 3½"x2" white cardstock and fold in half to make a 1¾"x2" gift card. Cut a 1 5/8"x1 7/8" green snowflakes paper and ink the edges. Secure the blue snowflake Brad Buddy™ to the center, then glue to the front.
  3. For the inside: Cut a 1 5/8"x1 7/8" green/red sprigs paper. Cut a 1 5/8"x1¼" blue snowflakes paper and ink the edges. Glue across the center of the sprigs piece and ink the edges. Stamp a “Merry Christmas” circle in the center and glue centered on the inside. Close the card and punch a hole in the upper left corner. Use thread to attach the gift card to the bow, along with a snowflake mini Brad Buddy™ over the top as a charm.
