Nigezza Creates: Chocolate Orange Christmas Gift Box With Money Envelope

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

I recently went to a large family gathering so got some Christmas presents ready to save postage! There are a number of teenagers in our family and we never know what to get them so we tend to give them money so they can choose themselves. But I like to dress the money up in. nice gift box. This year I have decided to give them a lovely chocolate orange along with the money, who doesn't like a chocolate orange?
