Gable Long Life Favors

This is a REALLY quick favor that was made to celebrate a 95th Birthday - can you just imagine 95 years old?  It is quite a milestone.  35 gable boxes were cut out using SCAL (Sure Cuts A Lot computer program) and my Silhouette Machine as the cutter. These gable boxes came together with just one area that needed sticky tape. Now that is what I call fast!The image on the side of the box is a SVG cut file from Scrappedlives.nl which can be found here. Joann Fabric Red card stock, Michael's basic black card stock and Gold card stock from Kelly Papers used. Finished box size is 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 1-3/4".

Here's the tag up close: The tag is a SVGcut file (so it can be size perfectly)  1" punch, and 1-1/8" punch used. Tie with a gold cord.

The flip side of the tag was printed, then punched.

I found these Long Life Kanji stickers in my stash and they worked out well for this project.

 Open the box to reveal: CHOCOLATES!!!! Of course.................

Update 9-16-2012: the Dress Form paper clips are from Maya Road  and can be found at your local scrapbook craft store or here. Maya Road also makes Hanger paper clips, too.
