For this week's "try a new technique" challenge on SplitCoast, the challenge is to make a peek-a-boo box. Brenda Quintana came up with the pattern for this box. She was gracious enough to let me upload the box pattern right here on my blog. This first file has one box on the page Download Peek-A-Boo-Box-Template-1.pdf . This second file has two boxes per page Download Peek-A-Boo-Box-Template-2-On-1-Page-1.pdf
I thought the box would be perfect for wedding favors. I used the swirl from Baroque Motifs and embossed it in Silver embossing powder on Vellum card stock. 
Here's the box with the lid open. It has an acetate window so you can see what's inside.
I filled the box with peppermint patties because the wrappers were silver and would match the silver embossing. I used my Carte Postale set to decorate the candy.
Tips on making the box:
When you download the pattern, it is true to size. You can print it on your card stock and just cut on the solid lines. However, this won't work for vellum. The printed black lines would show through the other side. To get around this, I measured the pattern with a ruler and cut and scored it according to the pattern. NOTE: I cut and scored the box first, then I flipped it over and embossed on the opposite side.
When you punch out the 1 1/4" square for the window, you'll want to be sure it's centered. Take a scrap piece of paper and punch out a 1 1/4" square. Put adhesive on that square and stick it on the vellum right where you want the window to be.
Turn your punch upside down and line it up right over the white square and punch! It's the easiest way I've found to get a nice, centered window.
