DTC #167 - DTC 6th Anniversay Celebration "Raffle" Graduation

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble's "6th Anniversary Raffle" and decided to make a Graduation Gift Box for my youngest grandchild, Izzy, for her 2024 High School Graduation Party.  It seems like yesterday she was just a baby. 

I thought a box card would be perfect... and used "The Pop Up Box Card | Very Easy To Make" tutorial by Sam Calcott UK - Mixed Up Craft ... and there was an excellent way to add the crossbars in the box, much simpler than I've done previouosly.  

Optional Twist: Twisted Sister wants you to use Kraft paper, Kraft-colored cardstock, a brown paper bag, or any product made from Kraft-type paper in your project... so I used some textured corrugated cardboard on three sides of the box. This first photo is the front of the box card (slightly open) with many school elements.  

This second photo is the back of the card for Izzy's future plans to attend college at State University of New York at Fredonia.  The Logo of the college is a tag to pull out an attached Fredonia Gift card.  

My Raffle Ticket is for a Graduation Gift Box. All of the elements in the box are listed in my Products below identifying what die, stamp or cricut cut was used. The photos below, using different focus points, show better detail of some of the elements in the box.   

Double Dare says to combine your project from one of our previous partners for another chance at the Double Trouble random drawing for a prize. I chose Creative Creases with my Box card.
