Revisiting the Curvy Box Bag – Beautiful Christmas Bag

Revisiting the Curvy Box Bag – Beautiful Christmas Bag – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! – Lincoln UK

I’m so excited to share today’s project – a festive revisit of the Curvy Box Bag, this time dressed up for Christmas! These bags are such a lovely way to present small gifts or treats during the festive season, and with just a little DSP and cardstock, you can create something both practical and beautiful.

Using Elegant Pines Snowflake DSP

For the base of the bag, I created a sturdy box from cardstock and then wrapped Elegant Pines Snowflake DSP around it to achieve that smooth, curved shape. This gives the bag a polished look while allowing the patterned paper to really shine.

To give the design more structure and detail, I added extra strips of cardstock at the top and bottom edges. This not only strengthens the bag but also frames the DSP beautifully, making the design look even more finished.

Fussy Cutting the Birds

The highlight of these bags has to be the gorgeous birds, which I fussy cut from the Nests of Winter DSP. They add a pop of character and make each bag feel truly unique. Whether it’s the sweet robin or the pair of cardinals, these images bring a warm and festive touch.

Sentiments that Shine

To complete the design, I used sentiments from the Greetings for You Ephemera Pack. They tuck in perfectly with the birds and branches, adding just the right festive message—whether it’s “Merry Christmas” or “Merry & Bright.”

Perfect for Gifting
