Hello Stampin’ Friends,

With Christmas coming in quicker than some of us are ready for, today’s post is all about making Gift Boxes and some helpful tips. Although we’re talking Christmas these tips can help you make cute Gift Boxes all year long … so don’t put those Tricks and Treats die away because that is where the box die comes from.

Let’s take a look at the video and enjoy the ease of assembly and tips that I’ve shared, then we’ll take a look at each box a little closer..

Let’s begin with our simple box that we made using the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper. Did you catch the TIP on using two sheets of designer paper with one die cut so the paper aligns when putting it together? Don’t you also love that you can stamp your greeting directly onto your designer paper ~ you may want to do it before you assemble because it would be much easier …lol. More tips in the first demo than I had planned / Oh my!! LOL

Our second Gift Box / Bag highlights the All About Autumn Designer paper and it’s foil sides … perfect for Christmas or any special occasion that you want to shine! We also used the Edgelit Die that is included in the die set. The greeting came from the Beary Cute Bundle and was die cut from the Nested Essentials Dies. TIP: Save that left over designer paper to create embellishments that coordinate with the packaging!

The last box was die cut with cardstock and highlighted with designer paper. TIP: (Designer) Paper Saving Technique. This comes in handy when you are making many boxes for co-worked, your kids classroom, or your team! The red check designer paper comes from the Joy of Christmas and the dies are from the Joy of Noel bundle. Don’t you just love that Adhesive Backed Silver paper!? Last TIP: Use the holes that you die cut, to mark and align the next cut … perfection!!

I hope you enjoyed watching me create these cute boxes and found the tips helpful to you. Are you inspired to make some cute Gift Boxes for your family, friends, co-workers, teachers, etc … the list goes on! Have fun creating your own boxes and for all holidays / celebrations.

Thank you for joining me today. Have an awesome day ~
