This is a unique “bookbound” gift box which when opened reveals a tag with a pocket.  The box itself has a decorative opening covered with a sheet of acetate  to keep the box contents from coming out.   I created a cutting file for this box using the Pazzles Inspiration software  and then used the Pazzles to cut and score the project quickly.  I have seen some templates and instructions for this same box using  a paper trimmer and scoring board  on other websites but the Pazzles allows me to size and shape it exactly how I want.  A Martha Stewart around-the-page punch was used for the border and the decorative front corner and tag dies, and the picture are  Marianne Designs. The interior scalloped border is a Spellbinders die.  The gorgeous glittered rosebud paper is My Mind’s Eye.  I also did quite a bit of sewing on this box.   I made 18 of these as thank-you tags/boxes for a baby shower.  Each box contained scented candles.  The mother wrote a personalized thank-you note on the back of each tag after opening her gifts and then gave a box to each person at the shower.    So it doubled as both a thank-you note and parting gift for each one there!  The boxes can hold a scarf, jewelry, candy and many other things and are a great way to make your gift-giving more special.  Inspiration for this project came from here.
