Having Fun with the New In-Colours – Cute Gift Box. – Encircled in Love – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin Up! Demo – UK
I’m so excited to share today’s project—a pair of adorable milk carton-style gift boxes featuring the brand new Stampin’ Up! In-Colours: Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea. These new colours are dreamy and perfect for all your gifting and crafting needs.

Perfect for Small Treats or Table Favours
These cute gift boxes are just the right size for small treats, party favours, or even a little surprise for someone special. The milk carton-style design adds a playful twist while maintaining an elegant and polished appearance. Whether you’re prepping for a birthday party, thank you gifts, or just because, this versatile design has you covered.
Mixing Colour with Pattern
I’ve paired Strawberry Slush with bold Secret Sea and white floral patterns for a striking contrast, and Secret Sea (used on the alternative box in the video) with Strawberry Slush brings a soft, calming tone that’s equally beautiful. Adding coordinated ribbons and simple layered sentiment circles finishes the look with charm and polish.

Quick to Make, Fun to Decorate
If you enjoy creating 3D papercraft projects, you’ll love how quickly these little boxes come together. They require minimal supplies and are a brilliant way to showcase your favourite patterned papers and new colour combinations. The front panel sentiment, “A Little Something for You,” makes it ideal for any occasion.
