Hello Creative Friends,
Awhile back I shared a gable box by altering the Sizzix Box #2 Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine just a little.  Basically, I added a second lid/flap and adhered it to make both the front and back of the box match.  

Today I’m sharing another box done the same way.  Actually this was the first one that I did.  I just have had it set aside for awhile till it got closer to Christmas.  I used the Stampin’ Up! punches to turn this into a gingerbread house. 

Punches Used:
Scallop Circle Punch (Bushes)
1 Inch Circle (Roof)
Wide Oval (Door)
1/8 Handheld (Lights Across Roof-line)
1/8 Handheld & 1/2 Inch Circle (Wreath–Punch center out first with smaller punch)

The windows are 3/4 inch squares.  I sponged the edges of all the pieces with White Craft Ink and the little “lights” along the roof have Crystal Effects over top of them to give them a shinny look.  The details on everything are just drawn on with a white gel pen (uniball Signo).

You can see I decorated all the way around the box.  Below you can tell how I just wrapped the bushes on around the little house by overlapping them.  I used approximately 48 punch cut-outs for the roof.  It all depends though how much you overlap the rows and how close each row is.  I found that mine weren’t exact.  If you end up with roof ”shingles” hanging over the sides, just cut them off with scissors.

I used Jumbo Eyelets on each flap to put my ribbon through.    This  makes a great little box to hide a gingerbread treat inside.
