When my dear friend and talented fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Kadie Labadie, created this adorable window sheet gift box at our November SW Stampers meeting, I knew I had to give it a try for our December Christmas swap. She tells me she got the original idea from demonstrator Laurie Zoellmer's Stampin' Nut Blog.
My version includes oodles of sneak peeks from the Occasions Mini Catalog (starts Jan. 4, 2012). I thought it might be fun to walk you through a new product reveal with a video. Measurements and scoring instructions are below.
MEASUREMENTS:
Bottom Box: Cut card stock or DSP to 10 1/4" x 5 1/4". Score at 1/2" and 1" on all four sides. You'll need to cut tabs, fold in and adhere to shape the box.
Insert for Bottom Box: Cut card stock to 3" x 10". Score at 3 1/4", 3 3/4" and 4 1/4"
Clear Window Sheet Cover: Cut window sheet to 8 1/4" x 8 1/2". With the 8 1/2" side at the top of your Simply Scored Tool, score at 1/2", 3 7/8", 4 1/2" and 7 7/8"
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: Scoring the Window Sheet with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool will leave a line and crease–not a defined score. You'll need to fold it further manually to shape the sides.
The tiny hearts on the envelope flaps were created using the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. The big cake sticker is from Sweet Shop Designer Stickers. Very chic and both are available Jan. 4 in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Thank you so much for sharing this! Absolutely love it, and had a great time making one!!
I love this box and the products you used! What did you use to adhere the window sheet together for it not to show? Thanks!
Oh, boy! Just the kind of thing I love to do. So, I’m of and running toward Valentine’s Day with this idea. Thanks to you and Kadie.
Thank you for sharing Mary. I just love this box.
Mary this is a fantastic project! I know I will be trying it in the future. I LOVE all of your designs.
Hi Carol: I’m glad you like the Spanish Guitar music. it’s only 25 seconds long, however. I purchased it simply for adding to my videos and to be able to use it on You Tube legitimately. Hugs, m
What a GREAT project! I’m making five of these beauties and promising them to my first five Hostesses in January/February.
Adorable! Can’t wait to get my hands on all these goodies!
Mary, this is sooo adorable! Kadie is very talented and clever, and your choices of colors, DSP and sentiments is perfect! Thanks for sharing the specs…anything that includes stamping AND chocolate must be CASEd 🙂 Thanks!
I enjoy your tutorials so much; finally our computer/video problem’s fixed. I was having Mary Fish videos withdrawals; now I can view them!! Happy Holidays, from a CANADIAN fan!!!
Wow, I love that boxed set!! Everything comes together SOO nicely! I’ve yet to do something with mine…
TFS!

Many THANKS Mary for the shout out – And I have to say that if your viewers could see this lovely creation in person – they would be droooooooling (big time).
