I found these boxes when I was doing some internet searching looking for "DIFFERENT" ideas for swaps. I am posting the directions to how to make these boxes. I made them up myself from looking at the picture I found. Hope you all love these as much as I do. I have a picture in my gallery, here is the link, hope it works. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Not sure if these will work right but here are the instructions which are not to scale. It is a word doc. I originally did it in powerpoint and copied it into word. Also as JPG file. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Reason: added template
Thanks so much Karen....these are just the ticket for something different!!!! And, thanks for the time and effort it took for the directions!!!!! TFS!!!
Okay, so I made a bunch of these for Valentine's Day, and I just wanted to share a quick tip. After making a mock-up so I could see how everything worked, I made a template of Step 5, where the paper is accordion folded and it's time to cut the triangles. I just took a section of the paper after I marked and cut the triangles, traced it onto stencil plastic (that I got in the quilting section of JoAnn's), and cut it out. Now when I make them, all I have to do is fold the paper accordion style, lay the template on the paper, trace the triangles, and wah-lah! The hard part is already done! Below is a picture of the template.
Hope this is helpful to anyone else!

That is such a great tip!!! I pulled out my quilting plastic for something else and now I may make a bunch of templates with it. Thank you!
