My nephew's 18th birthday party is fast approaching this weekend. I started to wrap his gift today and quickly discovered we had no "guy" wrapping paper left and the gift bags we have on hand were either the wrong size, gender or occasion. No problem! DCWV Naturals Stack patterned paper and my trusty Scor-Pal to the rescue! A custom made box saves the day (and my wallet, too!).
Finished box size is 5-1/4" x 6-1/2" x 1-3/4" and his Griffin iTrip fits perfectly inside!
Copper accents embellish the tag - I could finally use the copper brads and hanger that have been patiently waiting forever as they match the patterned paper perfectly!

I love it when you whip out your scor-pal and whip up something fun like this! This is waaaay better than a stinky old gift bag, ha!
BTW, I still have some of the copper brads...been hoarding them for some time now. You just never know when they'll be the perfect finishing touch, like here!
