Gable boxes

[Lou Belle]

There are a couple of examples of stamping on gable boxes on this site. There is reference to having a template available, but only for demonstrators. Is there somewhere that I can get a copy of this template? I am PTO President and thought they would make great gifts for the teachers during their Appreciation week. Thanks!!

They are for purchase in the back of the SU catty!

I bet if you were to order them you could just order it once and make your own colors by saving one as a template!
Hope this helps some!

IMHO, gable boxes are far better to purchase pre-made than to trace, cut, score and assemble from cardstock.

The amount you save by doing these yourself will quickly fade as they are unbelievably time-consuming to create. Even with a few friends to help.

Plus, SU's grade of pre-made gable boxes are stronger cardboard/chipboard than standard quality cardstock.

Time is money....

Again, this post is just an opinion....

If you want to purchase them in bulk at a savings, I'd recommend nashvillewraps.com. I bought 500 about 2 years ago and they are gone.

SU's quality is slightly BETTER than nashville wraps; if these are going to get saved versus tossed, then I'd use SU.

I've cut one out and assembled it...it's a slew of work. You may want to consider buying them precut, finding a scrapbook store with the die cut, or finding a simpler pattern.

Attached it a .pdf file for you to try out...

I have found a website that carries gable boxes that are very close to our SU ones. I only use them when I do teacher apprecation weeks because they are much cheaper then even my price thru SU as a demo. Here is the link: http://www.buygiftbox.com/

Hope this helps.
