A CHRISTMAS GIFT CARD BOX

I made a gift box and six 3″x 3″ gift cards during my Facebook Live this week.

This project features the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite.

This simple lidded gift box has a Cinnamon Cider base and a ‘iced gingerbread’ Designer Series Paper lid. The sample gift I made was too small to hold the small square envelopes that fit the 3″x 3″ gift cards.

Not to waster this smaller gift box, I’m going to find some Christmas gingerbread treats to pop inside.

The gingerbread snowflake, cut from some of the DSP, also has a second snowflake cut from Cinnamon Cider adhered on the back. This was perfect for stamping ‘to’ and ‘from’.

Untie the bow and remove the lid to find six unique Christmas gift cards inside.

These are cards made for this gift box. One is a shaker card that has the Gingerbread & Peppermint Acrylic Shapes inside.

FOr the greetings I used Frosted Gingerbread, Be Jolly and Delivering Cheer Stamp Sets.

After my Facebook Live I decided to make a second gift box using some different paper from the Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP.

Three of the cards in this box are the same as the first box but the other three are some different.

I am looking forward to gifting these boxes before Christmas so the recipients can use the gift cards on their gifts.

This collection of products, from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Suite, is amazing to play with. Over the last week have made lots of projects using this Suite. I hope that you have enjoyed them all.

Until next time, happy stamping.

CHRISTMAS GIFT BAG

Hello friends! Thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

I decided to make a gift bag to coordinate with a card I shared a couple of days ago.

I used one of the Ombre Gift Bags, some of the Whimsy & Wonder Designer Series Paper and a few of the Wonderful Snowflakes.

I secured a length of the Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon to the back of the DSP layer and then adhered it to the front of the ombre bag.

Three snowflakes were added to the bag using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I cut four tags using the Tailor Made Tags Dies – two in Basic White and one each in Sift Succulent and DSP. One of the white tags was glued to the back of the DSP tag.

Using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set, I stamped the greeting and trees to the Basic White tag. Then I stamped the ‘to’ and ‘from’ on the Soft Succulent tag.

I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the gift boxes. After I photographed the gift bag I carefully removed the gift boxes and repositioned them so they are now parallel with the bottom of the bag (and it looks much better).

The tags were overlapped and glued in place. Then I cut a length of White Faux Linen Ribbon in half, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and frayed it before combining it with White Baker’s Twine and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon to finish the tags.

I added some CLear Wink of Stella to the Soft Succulent ‘ribbon’ on the gift boxes before popping some coordinating 2021-2023 In Colur Jewels.

What do you think of this little gift bag? I think that I will make a gift card holder to pop inside the bag.

Until next time, happy stamping.
