The first cracker box is created using Thick Basic White Cardstock and decorated with the Christmas Tags and More Designer Series Paper (DSP). I’ve added a cheerful black-and-white gingham bow to tie everything together.

The second cracker features a Real Red base and the Traditions of Christmas DSP, giving it that classic festive look. I finished it off with a soft, sheer ribbon to add a delicate touch.

Finishing Touches

For a bit of extra flair, I tucked coordinating tissue paper into the tops of each cracker. This not only adds colour and height but also gives the boxes that polished, professional look.

The sentiment on each box is from the Sign Design stamp set, which has a matching punch, making it quick and easy to create perfectly cut labels.

The ribbon I used is a retired style, but don’t worry—there are plenty of lovely ribbons available in my online shop that would work beautifully for this project.

Measurements

  • Thick Basic White / Real Red Cardstock – 10 1/2″ X 7 3/4″, scored as follows:
    • Long Side – 2 1/2″, 5″, 7 1/2″, & 10″.
    • Short Side – 2 1/2″, 5″, 5 1/2″ & 6″.
  • Christmas Tags and More / Traditions of Christmas DSP – 2 1/4″ X 2 1/4″ X 4 pieces.

These cracker boxes are quick to make, and you can easily customise them to match your festive décor or colour scheme. They’re ideal for Christmas parties, stocking fillers, or simply adding a handmade touch to your holiday table.

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

These bags are not only fun to make but also perfect for filling with chocolates, small gifts, or even a little handmade treat. They’re sure to bring a smile to anyone who receives them this Christmas.

How to Make an Interlocking Gift Box – Step by Step Tutorial

If you’re looking for a unique and eye-catching way to present small gifts, this Interlocking Gift Box is the perfect choice. It’s practical, pretty, and features a clever closure that’s sure to impress. Today, I’m using the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (DSP), which is absolutely perfect for festive makes and nature-inspired designs.

The boxes are created in Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler, two rich, classic Christmas colours that work beautifully together. The star of this project, though, is the interlocking closure—made using the nested banners from the Stylish Shapes dies. This closure is both decorative and functional, keeping the box securely shut while adding a striking layered detail to the front.

Why You’ll Love This Interlocking Gift Box

This project is not only fun to make but also endlessly customisable. You can create them in any colour scheme or patterned paper to suit birthdays, weddings, or seasonal occasions. The Nests of Winter DSP is filled with charming woodland birds, pinecones, and festive greenery, giving the box a warm and cosy feel.

The size is perfect for holding small treats, jewellery, or other thoughtful gifts, making it ideal for Christmas giving. And because the closure is part of the decoration, there’s no need for extra ribbon or magnets—just pure paper engineering magic!

How the Interlocking Closure Works

The closure is made from two banner die-cuts that slide together, one attached to each side of the box lid. When the banners overlap, they ‘lock’ in place, holding the box closed. It’s a clever yet simple technique that adds a real ‘wow’ factor without being complicated to make.

measurements

  • Real Red / Garden Green Card Stock:
    • 10 3/8″ X 3 1/4″ Scored on the longer side at 2 1/8″, 3 1/8″, 7 1/4″& 8 1/4″
    • 6″ X 5″ scored at 1″ on all sides.
  • Nest of Winter designer series paper (DSP):
    • 3 3/4″ X 2 3/4″ X 1 piece
    • 3 3/4″ X 3/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 3″ X 3/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 1 7/8″ X 3″ X 2 pieces

Tips for Success

  • Use sturdy cardstock for the box base so it holds its shape well.
  • Score and burnish all your folds sharply for crisp edges.
  • Choose contrasting paper and banner colours for extra visual impact.
  • Embellish with gems, pearls, or a touch of Wink of Stella for a festive sparkle.

Whether you’re making these boxes for a Christmas table, as stocking fillers, or as a special handmade touch for gift-giving, they are guaranteed to be a hit.

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.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

These adorable suitcase-style gift boxes are perfect for gifting small treats or keepsakes. They’re easier to make than you might think! I designed these boxes to open like a pizza box, which gives them both charm and functionality.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box - Crafting with Ashee - Independent Stampin' Up! Demo - Lincoln UK.
How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

I used two stunning Designer Series Papers for these boxes: the warm, rustic look of the Take to the Sky DSP for the brown-toned suitcase, and the soft, vintage feel of Country Lace DSP for the blue one. These papers give the boxes a unique character—one earthy and adventurous, the other elegant and sweet.

How to Create a Suitcase Style Gift Box – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK.

Details That Make a Difference

To give the boxes a polished, vintage-travel feel, I created corner details using Crumb Cake cardstock punched with a 1″ circle punch. Each circle was cut into quarters and adhered to the corners. This simple detail gives a lovely faux-leather trim look that adds dimension and charm.

The top of each suitcase is decorated with ephemera die cuts from the Fully Flowing and Something to Say ephemera packs. One features a “Good Luck” sentiment in green, while the other shares a cheerful “So Happy for You” message beneath a beautiful floral piece.

These little boxes would be perfect for travel-themed party favours, graduation gifts, or just as a unique way to say “thinking of you.”

measurements

  • Early Expresso / Basic Beige Cardstock – 11 1/2″ X 8″ scored at 1 1/2″ on all sides. On the 11 1/2″ side, add two extra score lines at 5″ and 6 1/2″.
  • Take to the Sky / Country Lace designers paper (DSP):
    • 4 3/4″ X 3 1/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 4 3/4″ X 1 1/4″ X 2 pieces
    • 3 1/4″ X 1 1/4″ X 2 pieces

Want to Make These Too?

Add your own creative twist by switching up the papers, colours, and sentiments. These boxes are a fantastic way to use up scraps and experiment with layers and embellishments.

I enjoy making little gift boxes and bags. They are bespoke and a wonderful way to make a gift extra special. This box is pizza style box. I haven’t made one for a while so I thought I would revisit it with you today. The paper is the Perennial Lavender designer series paper (DSP) and matches the lavender card I shared a few days ago.
