Here is a gift box I made using a JustRite Stamp box.  If you've been a fan of JustRite Stamps for awhile, you probably have a few of these boxes lying around.



Products Used:

Bazzill Basics Cardstock:

2-245E Phoenix
15-255G Tomato

Spellbinders:

S5-055 Layered Poinsettia
NEST-001 Nested Ovals

JustRite Stamps:

JB09925 Peace on Earth

Other Materials Used:

Micro Beads
Glossy Accents
Ribbon
White Pigment Ink
White Embossing Powder
Christine Re Printed Paper
White Paint

Tip:

When covering the box with paper you have to keep in mind that the lid is already a tight fit.  I covered the lid only and painted the base, sanding first before painting.
To add depth to the box and to stop the lid from covering the base completely, I inserted some foam tape inside the lid to make a lip and keep the lid sitting a little higher.
