However I suppose for those of us who like to make our own cards and little gifts it is time to start thinking about it so we are not left in a panic in December :)

I had made these little origami boxes years ago and then I stumbled across some instructions for this stepper box on split coast stampers - unfortunately the original person who prepared the instructions is not credited but if anyone would like the instructions I found then please just leave me a comment with your email address and I will be more than happy to forward them on to you.
I think this would make a lovely gift box for a few very special gifts (eg jewellery sets, or expensive chocolates :)
