Many types of gift boxes can be made with this sample box. You can put any type of background into it for holidays or greeting cards etc.

I've given a sample box (original design of the box by Mary from Kitkat's ng)--<"news:alt.discuss.clubs.public.webtv.misc.kitkat3l">Kitkat's

Hope you have as much fun making these as I have had. Let's get started. Take one step at a time. I've listed below the urls for all the parts you will need. ~Lee~
