I’m really excited to share today’s projects with you – especially the Sloped Lid Gift Box! I was inspired by a toy box my son received and had to “Pixiefy” it! The Joy Fold Card is a great fun fold using Designer Series Paper! I hope you’ll give these projects a try!

I love a good coordinating pair of projects! The Country Lace Designer Series Paper takes the show and I love the Country Flowers Bundle so much! Let’s get to the projects!
Sloped Lid Gift Box
We had so much fun during my livestream sharing what we though this box looked like – from cash register, to rolltop desk and everything in between! It’s such a cool design! My son received a puzzle toy that was in a box shaped like this without the sloped lid. So I put my Paper Pixie thinking cap on and got to work to design my own version! Here’s another angle:
The lid lifts open and here’s what the inside looks like:
Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

These are one of my favorite sets of projects you’ve made. Can’t believe how hard you must work to create your projects. Thank you.
I like this project. But I must tell you, I probably won’t be able to let the kids have the pleasure of
making any further projects. School administration has taken the free time away from the kids.
I won’t know for sure until after the first administration board meeting, and that’s next week. I
will let you know.

I can’t wait to make this sloped gift box, super cute. You are constantly inspiring me. Thank you
Love it all!
Hi Julie,
I adore all of your projects. Thank you so very much for sharing your creativity with all of us. Looking forward to seeing you Wednesday.
Katie
Thank you for another inspirational demonstration and your generosity in sharing your creations.
I really enjoy your videos but have to watch on replay as I am across the pond in the UK.
Thank you Julie. The box is so cute I’m looking forward to trying it.
Thank you Julie, the gift box is so cute I’m looking forward to making it.

Love this. To tell you the truth I love all your projects. Just love all your creativity
Dear Miss Pixie (Julie)
I love all of your creations. I wish you’d create some larger boxes too, that we can use for birthday and Christmas wrapping. I’ve used your ‘Impossible box’ several times, but I’d like to see something else as well.
I love how you explain in easy to understand terms how to re-create your great creations. That’s what makes you an wonderful creator. I’m sure I speak for others, too, on that.
Thanks for taking your time to create and teach us so many things.
I love this box so much, but I’m a little nervous to try it. I think that will be my goal today – make the card and the box. Thank you, Julie!
I am going to sit down today n create.
I love your videos. I normally need to watch the replay. I need ideas. Thanks for sharing with me.
I am always amazed at your creations. I wish I had your talent! What do you suggest putting in the box? Thanks!
