Lovin' the Gift Box Punch Board

I am lovin' the new gift box punch board.   Here is one of the smallest boxes you can make with the gift boxes.   Just like with any punch board, the visual of what the box should look like after all the punching and scoring is on the punch board.   The one thing I missed after doing the box was the additional punch that needed to make.   Once I saw that the box came together easily.

How cute is the little treat box for Halloween goodies.    Just add ribbon and a tag and you are on your way.
