Hello, I made this fun little thing--which could work nicely to hold many little goodies and I used the gorgeous new stamp set by Asela Hopkins called Botanical Dreams to decorate it. Finished box measures: 5" tall x 3" wide x 1 1/2" deep (front is 2").
For the box, here are the simple instructions: start with 1 piece of 8 1/2" x 6" cardstock; score widthwise at 1 1/2" and 4 1/2"; turn cs and score lengthwise at 5" and 6 1/2"; Cut on 1 1/2" and 4 1/2" width scorlines down to the 5" mark (this will make your new width of 3". Cut on the 6 1/2" legth scorelines only to the base (this will make flaps to form the box.)---STAMP and decorate your box---Now, fold all scorelines and it will form the box. Glue the 2 shorter flaps to the longer 2 flaps. Make even holepunches on the side flaps and on the back of the box (see mine) and tie together with ribbon or string. Trim top corners, if desired. Done! Hope this easy to understand. I will be posting a short tutorial with pics on my blog today for those interested. Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Oh here we go again, dahling! This is so wonderfully creative, and I'm sitting here really looking at this with so much joy: you've moved beyond the margaritas and martini glasses. This shows such a stretch for you, my friend. I'm happy to be apart of this momentual transition. From bottles to gift holders, such a broad span in your life! Love what's you've created here, Lins. Love the sentiment and the bling and twine. Wonderfully creative!

Linsey, thanks so much for posting this! I loved this the moment I saw it at the release party. I *think* it makes sense, but I think it's one of the things to you have to just jump in and do! I think I'm off to Harmon's to look for cute little bottles of things!
Thanks again - for sharing your beautiful work AND the instructions!
