Best Dressed Gift Box – Stampin’ Up!

This is the last project I have to share with you from the 2019-2020 catalogues. They retire today!! My last make is this Best Dressed Gift Box which features the designer series paper of the same name.

The purple in this box is Highland Heather and isn’t lovely. It reminds me of the wisteria that is growing over the top of my front window. I am not a traditional girly girl and initially I thought I would hate this paper as it is full of lipsticks and handbags and such like. I then discovered the otherside are these lovely florals and I was hooked.

As I’ve been driving in my local area to the supermarket, chemist and grocery shop I’ve been struck by the beautiful wisteria, laburnum and of course the glorious lilacs. We have two purple lilacs in the back garden and they are such a pleasure to see. The leaves of the trees are all new, fresh and so green!!! This was my inspiration for this floral and spring feeling box.

The box itself holds four tealights so is perfect for a little extra birthday gift or even as a table favour for a special at home date night.

Measurements

  • Highland Heather 8 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ scored:
    • On the long side at 3/4″, 4″, 4 3/4″, 8″
    • On the short side at 3/4″ on each side
  • Best Dressed DSP 3″ X 3″ & 1/2″ X 3″ X 4

Do you enjoy making little gift boxes and gift bags? I love them. They are so cute and dinky. Of course I struggle to give them away as I want to keep them all!!

Best Dressed Floral Bag – Stampin’ Up!

I have another cute bag for you using the Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP), hence the name best dressed floral bag.

The Best Dressed DSP has makeup and fashion themed patterns on one side and on other are these amazing floral designs. I am quite a tomboy and makeup and fashion have never held much attraction to me. I love the florals though.

This box is what I call pencil case style. It has a magnetic closure but it is the DSP that makes it sing to me. I love this pattern, it is so happy. What are your favourite styles of patterned paper?

I know some people find box making quite difficult to do so I made a template but I will also give you the measurements here.

measurements

  • Old Olive – 7 1/2″ X 10″ – Scored:
    • On the short side at 1/2″, 3″, 4″, 6 1/2″
    • On the long side at 1″, 7″
  • Best Dressed DSP – 2 1/4″ X 5 3/4″ X 2 pieces
  • Best Dressed DSP – 2 3/4″ X 2 1/4″

Golden Honey Gift Bag -Stampin’ Up – SAB 2020

I have a little Golden Honey gift bag to share with you today The Golden Honey Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so elegant and beautiful. I want to use it as much as possible for it goes away. This is a free sale-a-bration product so will only be available until the end of March.

Golden Honey Gift Bag - Stampin' Up - SAB 2020
Golden Honey Gift Bag – Stampin’ Up – SAB 2020

I think this DSP is perfect for male cards as well. I love the foiling on every sheet. It is pretty without being tacky. This bag is very simple to make with a turned down top for extra interest. I did attempt to tie a bow to close it but as you can see I wasn’t very successful. I won’t tell you how many times I tried!!!

All I would say is as you are using paper, be careful when you score that you don’t tear it. Score lightly a few times rather than once heavily. I use the thicker end of the embossing tool as well.

measurements

  • Golden Honey DSP – 11″ x 7″ Scored at:
    • Long Side – 1/2″, 4 1/4″, 5 3/4″, 9 1/2″
    • Short Side – 1″, 5 1/2″

I think the melon mambo pink and silver foil DSP are a match made in heaven. This would be a perfect gift bag for a girly party, a hen night or even a silver wedding anniversary.

measurements

  • Melon Mambo Cardstock – 9 1/2″ X 61/2″,
    • Scored on the long side at 11/2″, 41/2″, 6″, 71/2″.

It is a grey and yucky day here in Lincoln. Everything outside is dark and grey. I love Melon Mambo as even on a horrid day weather-wise it can bring a spark of bold colour to my day. Which is your favourite Stampin’ Up! colour? Let me know in the comments section below.
