Gift Box For My 6"x6" Mini Album

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator 


Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it and hope you like the project and will take a look at the video tutorial as well.  Do you remember the 6" x 6" album I made? Well I gave as a wedding present to my Nephew and his wife so obviously I needed to make a gift box to put it in. I wanted the box to match so I have used retired papers. It was a beautiful wedding and I hope they enjoy filling the album with the wonderful memories made that day and days leading up to it and after. We had an absolutely amazing time going over to the US to celebrate their special day with them.

    1. Hi Rolashan, a 16th is half of an 8th so where I have said 1 15/16" it is halfway between the 1 7/8" and 2". Hope that make sense.
