Small Gift Box

These very small boxes could hold ear rings or any small piece of jewellery and they would make favour boxes. This idea was from Elaine at paper craft button.

Stampin' Up sentiments teamed with punches help to add that little but extra to a gift or a card.

Stampin' Up Gift box punch board

I have been having a go with the Gift Box Punch Board from Stampin Up. It is great, the paper sizes needed are from 6 x 6 which would make a 1.75" x 1.75" x 1.75" box, up to a 12 x 12 paper which would give a 4" Square box. The box will not need any adhesive, but I actually like to glue back the pieces that fold to the middle, that way the box keeps solid when open.

I have wrapped the Burlap ribbon around the box, and the topper has been made with the thick bakers twine in baked brown sugar. I found my flower loom that I had when I was a child and made the flower topper. Never throw away anything crafty you WILL use it again!

Stampin Up Curvy Keepsake Box - Christmas

I can't stop using the Curvy keepsake box die to make some little boxes for Christmas. This time I have decorated with some paper from the Trim the Tree designer series paper stack. The snowflakes embellishments add a luxurious touch as well. You get 20 snowflakes in a tub.

Hexagon Boxes

Hi

I have been making some lovely boxes, hexagon shape, and can be decorated very cheaply for males or females.

This olive green one looks great for a fathers day gift. Fill it with your dads favourite sweets.

I used the Mosaic Madness stamp set and punch to decorate the boxes (the box tutorial was from Elaine at papercraft button on YouTube, thank you Elaine). I alternated the colours of the mosaics all the way round, and I hand cut the centre of the mosaic and placed a different colour in the centre of each, a good two tone embellishment.

I went to make another one, using 12 x 12 crushed curry card stock, but messed up the measurement for the top, as the top will just push down and stay closed with out glue, if you measure correctly! But my mistake has been used, and I love it for giving a bottle as a gift. A bottle bag is nice, but this is way better than a bag, what you you think? :)

Here they are together, a great project to make, and I think these will have to go in my folder as a sample of boxes I can make to order. I am going to try and sell some bits and bobs to fund some more crafting goodies.

Easter cartons

Thanks to Elaine's demo from Papercraft button, I have made some easter cartons. Being a little ditsy I did forget to take photos of the 27 small ones I did for work, there may be some of the empty boxes at work still, so I may add a couple more photos. This is the one I did for my husband, it is made with some old designer paper from Stampin up, if you would like some more up to date paper check out www.craftingshaz.stampinup.com the paper is very good quality for boxes like these. This one measures 2 3/4 x 3 x 5 1/4 inch.

I also used a Stampin up two sizes of scollop punch and mosaic punch.

Decorated desk tidy from Fernli Designs

I love Fernli designs web site, and I just want to buy every new item that appears on the site! In fact until now I have done more shopping than making, but I have now started to use the products and the first item I have decorated is the desk tidy. It has come into work with me and is very handy.

I had so much fun painting and papering. :) The paper that the post it notes an tipp-ex sits on is a silky fabric type paper, and I have also lined the draw with this.

Craft retreat project 4 - decorated boxes

We were supplied with 3 different Stampin up boxes, a bag and a fabric bag to decorate using papers and a tag stamp set and dies and punches. I only completed one on the day but finished the other after.

Envelope Punch board - another card box

These boxes made with the envelope punch board make great gifts, fill them with cards, or even a wrapped piece of jewellery would be great.

A Band decorated band around the box makes a great closure, then the box is re-usable. You can get in and out of the box much easier. Below are some of the cards I made to go inside the box. All the goodies for this were Stampin Up and can be found on my site.  www.craftingshaz.stampinup.net

Gift box for gift card or cash using - Envelope punch board

This is a much more decorative way to give gift cards at Christmas time or any other time through the year. They even look good with cash folded up. Looks more like a gift that a card in an envelope. The draw is made with one 6x6 piece of paper, using the envelope punch board, and then you just fold round paper for the draw to push into. The draw has a little notch taken from the top so the draw can be pulled out easily, this was made using the punch board as well. These are made with the Stampin Up punch board and design papers. Also decorated using punches and ornament stamps and dies. Visit my web shop for stampin up here.
