The box is actually easy to make, even though there are a few parts to it. All of mine were made with Daffodil Delight Cardstock (#119683).
1) The base box. I used a piece of 7x8 cardstock and scored on all three sides at 2-1/2". I then cut up the flaps and adhered the sides with sticky strip (#104294).
2) (Hard to see in photo) There is a center handle inside the box. I took a piece of cardstock 3 x 11 and scored at 3/4", 5-1/2" and 10-1/4" I folded it in half and did use some sticky strip so it wouldn't pucker. Then I adhered it to the inside bottom of the base box with sticky strip. I then punch a slot near the top with the Word Window Punch (#119857)
3) One one side a made little compartments for the biscotti to stand in. The cardstock is 2x4 and scored at 1-1/2" and 2-1/2". A little bit of sticky on each end and it will make a divider in the center on the side.
4) For the other side a wanted to make it a little stronger to help balance the box when held by the handle. The cardstock insert is 2x9 scored at 1", 2", 5", and 6". I didn't use any adhesive. It is just slid in to add strength.
The decorative band is from the Park Lane Designer Series Paper Collection (#133694). It is 12x3 and scored the long way at 1/2" so the other side shows on the top band.
For the tag I stamped the image from the RETIRING stamp set Chalk Talk (Wood #130631, Clear #130634) in Calypso Coral and Blackberry Bliss. I cut out the word "SOMETHING" with paper snips and adhered it to the tag with Dimensionals (#104430). The tag is cut out with the coordinating Chalk Talk Framelits (#129983). I added a 1/2"x11" strip of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock to the bottom of the box and tied a piece of 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon (#133668) to the top of the box. A few Pearl Basic Jewels (#119247) were used to dress up the tag.
