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.

Mug Cakes are very popular now. I mean, what’s not to love? You pour the mix in a mug, stir in water or milk, and microwave it. Let it cool a couple minutes and you’ve got cake! Today I’m sharing packaging I made to hold one of these yummy pre-made cake mix pouches. I used the Celebration Time Bundle (Celebration Time stamp set and Celebration Thinlits Dies) to make this Powder Pink gift box and tags.

This little coordinating box of jelly beans:
It’s very simple. Cut a piece of Powder Pink CS to 2″ x 8″. Score it at 2″, 4″, and 6″. Stamp candles on each 2″ x 2″ section. Put it in the Clear Tiny Treat box so it lines the front, bottom, back and top. Add your goodies (I used pomegranate jelly bellies) and close the lid. Apply a tiny Whisper White Bow to the top. Done!

I am so enjoying the Spooky Night Suite of products in the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s cute, scary, pretty, and creepy – whatever you need it to be! Today I’ve used it to make a treat bag so you can give some yummy little treats or gifts to your Trick-or-Treaters this Halloween. The owl image and the sentiment are from the Spooky Cat stamp set. The Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies make it super quick and easy to make treat bags out of any of Stampin’ Up!’s amazing paper, including the Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) I’ve used here today.
Here’s the Spooky Night Suite:

On the TA September Blog Hop, we are sharing some of our favorite products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one…or two…or three… But for today I decided to go with the Merry Little Christmas Mega Suite.
There are so many wonderfully coordinated products in this suite, for card making AND gift wrapping! It includes the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch,) the Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,) Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating 12″ x 12″ card stock (CS) pack, Merry Music Specialty DSP, 7/8″ Striped Ribbon, Acetate Card Boxes, Green Sprigs, Jute Twine, and Mini Ornaments. Holy cow, that’s a lot of cool stuff!
Here’s what I made:
I used some of the products from the Mega Suite to make this gift box
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Kraft card stock (CS) scored 3″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6″ x 6″)
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 9-9/16″ x 9-9/16″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6-1/16″ x 6-1/16″)
This is the same basic diagram for both pieces. Cut solid lines and score dotted lines.
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Kraft CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
sentiment with an oval die
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
scalloped oval from Basic Black CS, just a little bigger than the sentiment oval
Assembled the box:
folded all score lines on both pieces of paper and burnished with a Bone Folder
glued the tab at each corner to the inside of the adjacent side – do this for all four corner and for both pieces of paper
put the lid on the box, then wrapped Jute Twine around it and tied a bow
glued the sentiment oval onto the Basic Black CS scalloped oval
adhered the sentiment to the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful not to put any along the center, so the twine can slide underneath

The 2017 Holiday Catalog has a new folded tag bundle called Seasonal Chums. (The first folded tag bundle is called A Little Wild, and it’s on page 108 of the Annual Catalog.) Seasonal Chums has three adorable tags (jack-o-lantern, reindeer, and snowman) as well as five sentiment stamps. Today I’ve used the jack-o-lantern to create a tag for a 2″ x 6″ Cellophane Bag full of black jelly beans. I’ll most definitely be giving this away, because I hate licorice – yes, I’m using the word hate. But I love the this bundle!
