I have another One Sheet Wonder for You.  If you are like me and hoard Designer Paper, it’s time to use it.  🙂  I always buy pretty Designer Paper and then only use small amounts on cards and projects.  Today we are going to use the entire sheet to make this gift box.  It’s a good size box and could hold cupcakes, gifts, treats and even home baked cookies.  If you are going to put heavy items in the box, please use a stronger adhesive like Multipurpose glue or Tear & Tape.  I am starting to use Christmas Designer paper and have chosen the Under the Mistletoe Designer paper #146921 in our Annual Catalog. It has lovely plaids, ornaments, Holly and Poinsettias.
