Thursday's Sip & Stamp - Mini Wine Boxes & Cheese Crackers Treat Wraps

 Watch Facebook Live for details in making these projects


I love wine, cheese, and crackers any day!  So I was inspired to create these complimentary giftables:  a wine gift box and cheese cracker wrap.




These wine boxes have the same basic dimensions for scoring and assembling the boxes.  The major difference is one measurement that alters the height of the box.  Many bottled beverages fit in the width of this box.  For the taller box, which fits a Demi or Half bottle of wine or Prosecco, you will need to use a 12 X 10 1/2" sheet of Night of Navy Cardstock.  For the shorter bottle of wine, a Piccolo or Split, the Night of Navy cardstock is 8 1/2" x 10 1/2".  In both cases, you will score the 10 1/2" side at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2"", and 10".  Make a quick turn to the adjacent side and then score one end at 2 1/2", which will actually be trimmed for the bottom tabs.  Each of the four sides will need a piece of Designer Specialty Paper cut to 2 1/4" x 5  or 2 1/4" x 8 1/2" for the taller box.   To make the lid, cut a piece of 4 9/16" x 4 9/16" Night of Navy cardstock.  Score all four sides at 1", cutting the tabs on each side, and folding to create the sides of the lid.  The lid can be topped with a 2 1/4" x 2 1/4" piece of DSP or sentiment tag.  
I used the Sounds of the Season dies to cut out bells to embellish the front of the box.  Additionally, I used a Square Vellum Doilie and Night of Navy ribbon.




The cheese cracker wrap is so easy to make.  One sheet of Designer Speciality Paper cut at 6" x 5.75", scored on the long side 1 3/4", 2 1/2", 4 1/4", and 5"; and on the short side scored at 3/4".  Once burnished, and the tabs trimmed, adhere the 1/2" tab across to the opposite side to create the enclosed box.  Close and adhere the bottom flaps.  Use the 1/2" punch to create the hole about 1/2" from the top of the enclosure opening.  This is a great way to feature a beautiful ribbon, as it will be used to wrap around and pull up the cracker package.  Thread the ribbon from the outside in on one side, use the cracker package to push the ribbon down, and then push out the ribbon from the inside out, bringing it up to create a big bow.  When you pull up on the bow, the ribbon will pull up the cracker package.  I used the Label Me Lovely Punch to create the Green Foil label.  Cut it in half down the center and attach it to the backside of a Whisper White sentiment label punched from the same Label Me Lovely Punch.
