How to Make a Christmas Gift Box with a Window Side Panel

How to Make a Christmas Gift Box with a Window Side Panel – Celebrate with Tags – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

This cute gift box holds three little votive candles. The side panel is see-through. The window sheet is very sturdy and works well as the side panel. I didn’t use a die to create the window. I measured and cut the window using a ruler and craft knife. You don’t need lots of fancy tools to make something stunning.

I’ve made this little box using two different designer series paper packs. The top one is the Oxidized Copper paper and the bottom one is Snowflake Magic. They are both speciality paper and have lots of shine and sparkle to them. Which do you prefer?

Base – Cardstock – 9 1/4″ X 5 3/4″, scored at 2″ on all sides

I’ve made this style of box many times. It is a pizza style box with the lid and sides that fold over. Very simple and easy to make. Misty Moonlight is the blue colour and what a blue!! It is not too light and not dark like Night of Navy, just the perfect mix. The ribbon of course matches and it a beautifully soft cotton ribbon that makes a bow even for those of us that are bow challenged!!

How to Make a Poinsettia Christmas Candle

How to Make a Poinsettia Christmas Candle – Poinsettia Petals – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator – Stamped Candles

I love stamping my own candles. They look so good!! I made some use the poppy stamp set and gifted them to my neighbour who is an oncologist at the local hospital.

This candle is made using the fabulous Poinsettia Petals stamp set. I’ve used this stamp set for a card before and the die set for another card. In order to make this candle I stamped on white tissue paper using the non-shiny side. I stamped in Stazon and then coloured in using the Real Red and Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write markers. It came out well don’t you think?

One trick I would like to share is that I stamped all the flowers and then coloured them all in. I then cut around around the flowers leaving as little space tissue paper as possible but no being too concerned about it either. I positioned and heat set each flower individually. This worked better for me than trying to do all three in one go.

Printed Poppy Candle – Painted Poppies

I have fallen in love with the Poppy suite of products in the Spring / Summer catalogue. Here I’ve used the Painted Poppies stamp set to create this printed poppy candle. I’ve not printed a candle in years and was so please with the way it turned out.

I’ve shown this candle in the packaging I created, making the packaging will be my next video. I’ve used a very simple white pillar candle that has been sitting in my stash for simply ages. I wanted to create a gift as of course, we can’t go shopping at the moment.

how did i do it?

I used some tissue paper from my stash to make this. If you have bought the shimmer detailed laser cut designer series paper (DSP) you will find tissue paper separating each page. This is a perfect way to upcycle it. I measured the circumference and height of the candle and then cut out a piece of tissue paper to match.

I’ve stamped using an archival quality ink such as stazon so it won’t run when heated. The colouring in did pose a problem to me as I was afraid that it might run when heated or bleed out of the lines. I decided just to use the Stampin’ Write Markers in the aptly named Poppy Parade. This worked perfectly!!! A word of warning though, it doesn’t bleed out of the lines but did go straight through the paper. I coloured in on my grid paper to stop my desk looking like a murder scene!!

Candle / Tealight Storage Box

Cute candle storage box that holds four dinky little tealights. A perfect little gift for a party bag or table favour. This can also double as a place name by changing the sentiment.

I don’t know about you but I love candles and have a huge collection of all shapes and sizes. I don’t really like the ones with a strong scent as they cause my allergies to act up. Sneezing and lighted candles don’t really go well together.

I have made this box many times through the years with different card and paper and every time it turns out super cute.

I have a question for you today. Do you like candles and if so what are your favourite ones? I love the wax melts as well and have one here in my craft room. They are all vanilla though. I did once have one that smelled of Jelly babies but that made me too hungry.

Here are some other projects made using the Mosaic Mood DSP

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
