Ready for a little 3-D magic? Making boxes of all sizes, especially with Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series paper, is easier than you may think. I have three different ideas to share with you today, in tandem with the excitement (and I mean excitement) of Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Extravaganza Sale (save 20 to 50% on selected 
This cutie "peek-a-boo" 3 x 3 square box leaps together in a flash. I used a Scor-Pal and these directions (click here). You can modify the directions (brush up on your math skills) and make just about any size you desire.
I added a fun touch by cropping out a scalloped heart (after scoring so I knew where to center the heart) and adding acetate for a slick little window. TIP: Stampin' Up! Rub-Ons (on sale through Nov. 30) adhere to so many surfaces and cling with perfection to the acetate. This "naughty or nice" sentiment is from Season of Cheer Rub-Ons.

The Perfect Touch: Alpine Ribbon Originals (113100), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), Season of Cheer Rub-Ons (112843), Non SU Stick-On Rhinestone

TIP: For added dimension, I ran chipboard and Ruby Red Textured card stock through a Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the Top Note Bigz Die. I adhered the red on the chipboard die cut for a strong decorative impact. TIP: Stampin' Up's Chipboard may be ordered in in sheets (114320). It includes six 5 3/4" x 13 3/4" sheets (the perfect size to zip through the
