I really enjoyed this great design. The box is big enough to hold a large card, and deep enough to hold a decoupage card, or even a present. I cut the design using a Silhouette Cameo. Also, by grouping the two halves of the box, to keep them in proportion, and then resizing until the top of the box fits on A4 card it can be cut on most cutting machines. I used white 160gsm card to cut the box and lid and then lined the inside of the top of the box with gold card. Afterwards I cut the top of the box again, slightly smaller and inside the fold lines, and made a matching card front. I attached that to A3 card cut and folded to size and attached a sentiment. The cut out bells were useful embellishments for other Christmas cards.
