I'm so in love with the Party Animal Product Suite in the Occasions Catalogue, especially the Emerald Envy patterned paper with the white silhouette animals in the Party Animal Designer Series Paper. Did you notice there are cute party hats on their heads! So when it came to decorating a birthday gift box and choosing one of the designer series papers, I knew which one I wanted...

Decorating the front of this gift box was simple as the Party Animal Designer Series Paper did most of the work for me!

This gift box wasn't created for a specific occasion (although I am sure to find one and give it away). The main reason for creating this project was to show my team an example of how to create the self-closing gift box at one of our online team meetings.
