You know how much I like making cute boxes, right? Well, today I’m sharing a great one. It’s all gold and silver and shiny, and it’s the perfect gift box to give something special to someone special. And it’s really quick and easy. I made it with Year of Cheer Suite and the Labels to Love stamp set.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
- Whisper White Thick card stock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each of the four edges
- Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 7-1/16″ x 7-1/16″, then scored 1″ from each of the four edges
- These two pieces should look something like this. Dotted lines are folded and solid lines are cut.
Stamped with the Labels to Love stamp set:
- tag border and To/From in Versamark ink onto the back of a piece of Gold Foil Sheet, then heat embossed in gold
Punched using the Everyday Label punch:
- heat embossed tag
- a piece of Gold Foil Sheet
Punched using the 1/16″ Circle Punch:
- the top end of each of the tags
Punched using the 1″ Circle Punch:
- a piece of Gold Foil Sheet
Punched using the 2″ Circle Punch:
- piece of Whisper White CS
Assembled the box:
- for the box and the lid: cut one score line at each corner, fold up each side, and adhere the tab inside the adjacent side
- wrapped box once in Silver Edged Ribbon, then adhered ends of ribbon together with Tear & Tape (not adhered to the box)
- adhered the 2″ circle to the bottom side of the the overlapping part of the ribbon with Tear & Tape
- adhered a Silver Foil Snowflake to top of the 2″ circle and ribbon with Tear & Tape
- adhered the 1″ gold foil circle to the center of the snowflake with Tear & Tape
- Metal Rimmed Pearl adhered to the center of the 1″ gold foil circle
- tied tags to the ribbon using Gold Thread
Since the ribbon isn’t adhered to the box, you can slide it off to fill the box, then slide it back on.

Today I’m sharing the last of four cards I made for the Rising Star card swap, using the Night in Bethlehem bundle. I wanted to give the feeling of a desert city at night, so I used Night of Navy for the night sky, and Sahara Sand and Crumb Cake for the dunes and the buildings. I used copper to add a little shine to the card, both with embossing powder and Copper Foil Sheets.
Here’s the bundle:

Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

- Sahara Sand CS cut to 4″ x 4″
- Sahara Sand CS cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″ for the inside
Stamped with the Night in Bethlehem stamp set:
- sentiment in Versamark ink onto the front of the card base, near the top right, then heat embossed in copper
- shepherd in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Sahara Sand CS, then heat embossed in copper
- NOTE: To heat emboss:
- 1) rub the CS with the Embossing Buddy to cut down on static
- 2) stamp in Versamark ink
- 3) cover the stamped area with Copper Stampin’ Emboss Powder
- 4) melt powder with a Heat Tool until it’s shiny
Die cut using the Bethlehem Edgelits:
- shepherd
- star from a Copper Foil Sheet
- each of the two Edgelit designs from both Sahara Sand CS and Crumb Cake CS (4 pieces total)
- This is a photo of all the Edgelits I cut out for all the swap cards. 4 pieces x 5 cards = 20 pieces:
Cut using Paper Snips:
- curve along the top of the 4″ x 4″ piece of Sahara Sand CS, to resemble dunes behind the city
Assembled the card:
- Sahara Sand “dune” layer glued onto the front of the card base
- city layers glued onto the Sahara Sand layer, starting at the top and working down
- shepherd glued onto the last city layer
