I am trying to expand the range of gift boxes and bags I make. So what is a girl to do for inspiration but go on Pinterest!

How cute are these? I struggled with the design for a cute little box for ages and then made this design my mistake and decided to stick with it. The pretty paper is from the Sweet Symmetry suite and gives this project a lovely summer vibe. I did two colour ways, Just Jude and Calypso Coral. Which do you like best?

Isn’t this a pretty bag to place a special treat in. I love making gift bags and boxes and have a whole stack of them. Ever since I was a child I’ve always loved pretty packaging and taking time to make a gift look extra special. It makes all the difference I think to show you took the time to care.

Making a Large Gift Bag – No Cutting Needed – Hydrangea Hills – Fine Art Floral – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I’ve made this type of bag quite a few times. It is great if you are new to paper crafting or to do with children as no cutting is required. This bag uses a full piece of 12″ X 12″ paper / cardstock and makes a good size bag. The paper I’ve used here is the Hydrangea Hills designer series paper (DSP). It is so pretty. More importantly is that it has no specific direction which is important if you don’t want part of your image to be upside down.

measurements

  • Hydrangea Hills / Fine Art Floral DSP – 12″ X 12″, scored on one side at:
    • 3″ & 9″
    • Scored on the second side at 4 1/2″ from either end

How to Make a Matchbox Style Treat Box – Hand-Penned – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK

I recently went to Poundland, the first time in ages and I saw these cute little love hearts. They are a perfect little treat in this simple matchbox style treat box. The designer series paper is the pretty Hand-Penned paper. It has a light, watercolour and sketch feel to it. Perfect for a variety of occasions. These treat boxes would be so cute as table or party favours. In my day we would have them in our goodie bags at children’s parties. I believe someone people call them loot bags. I hate that terminology. It sounds so vulgar.

Measurements

  • Misty Moonlight Cardstock – 4 1/2″ X 3 3/4″, scored at 1″ on each side
  • Hand-Penned designer series paper (DSP) – 6″ X 2″

How to Make a Curved Top Gift Box – Choco Treat – A Wish for Everybody – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator based in Lincoln UK.

I was struggling to find an idea for a little gift box so I turned to good old Pinterest. I found an idea for box like this with a curved lid but boy oh boy did I struggle with what paper, what size I wanted it to be. In the end it turned out cute and it easy to make.

The lovely designer series paper (DSP) is “Well Suited” from the mini catalogue. I love this bright Poppy Parade red and it contrasts so well with the Night of Navy in the cardstock and little flowers. The paper flowers are made using the Small Blooms punch and mimic the little flowers in the DSP.

measurements

  • Night of Navy Cardstock – 6″ X 4 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ on each side.
  • Well Suited DSP – 6 1/4″ X 3″ scored at 1/2″ at either end of the long side.
  • Night of Navy cardstock 3″ x 1 1/2″

This project actually has no stamping in it. Shock, horror!! These little “milk cartons” are so cute and perfect for a little gift. The paper is the gorgeous “Flowers for Every Season”. I love the daisy pattern but of course the tulips trump them in my heart. The closure is a little bulldog clip. So dinky!!! The sentiment comes from the matching Memory & More cards. I just cut them out and stuck them on. Super easy.

    • 7 1/2″ side at 1/2″, 2 1/2″. 4″, 6″

This little treat holder is super easy to make and ever so cute!! It holds the larger size of tic tac boxes and would be a perfect table favour. Normally I would tell people not to eat sweets or chocolates found in my craft room as they are usually years old. These are new actually. I personally only eat sweets or chocolate when I am having an episode of low blood glucose, called hypoglycemia. This happens occasionally as a Type 1 Diabetic.

measurements

  • Purple Posy Cardstock 5 1/2″ X 4″ scored at 2 1/4″ on each side of the long side.
  • Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper:
    • 3 3/4″ X 2″ X 4 pieces
