Stampin’ Up! Gift Box

I have made another gift box to share with you today. This one is embossed using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder and a die from the Basic Border Dies. You can see my other box here.
I am entering The Paper Funday Challenges for this creation.

Start with a 8-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock. Score along the 8-1/4″ side at 1/2″, 1-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way. Score along the 11″ side at 2-1/2″ and 3-1/2″ turn the piece around and score from the other side the same way. You can see in the diagram how far to cut the score lines. Cut a little piece out of each flap, and angle it so it will look like a wedge. This is your card base. Using a die from Basic Borders Dies crop the top of the piece as shown in the diagram above. I used a different die than the one shown in the above photo. You can see the die I used in the photo below.

I cut two pieces of Sweet Sorbet card stock cropping one using a die from Basic Border Dies. I then embossed both pieces using the Quatrefoil Embossing Folder. Adhere the piece that has been cropped to the top of the flap as you see in the photo above. Adhere the other piece to the bottom portion of the box. These pieces are adhered while the box is still flat. Adhere three Gold Adhesive Backed Swirls.

I cut a piece of Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper cropping using a die from Basic Border Dies and stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink a sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Pansy Patch stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Around The Bend stamp set. I adhered this piece to the inside of the flap as shown in the above photo. Cut a strip of Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper for the belly band. Stamp a flower from Stampin’ Up! Two-Tone Flora stamp set in Blushing Bride ink. Stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce ink. Adhere the flower and leaves to a Basic White circle cropped using Layering Circle Dies, then pop the circle on the belly band using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped a greeting using Sweet Sorbet ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock, fussy cutting and adhering to a scrap of Sweet Sorbet card stock. The greeting is popped on the circle using Glue Dots.

Cut a piece of Blushing Bride card stock 4-1/4″ x 6″. On the 4-1/4″ side score down both sides at 3/4″, fold and score. This is your tray for your pieces of candy. Run a strip of Stampin’ Seal down both sides of the tray near the score line. This tape is to lay your candy pieces on so they will stay secure in the tray. The strip shown in the photo is to wrap around each piece of candy.

Once you have all your candy piece wrapped and in the tray, you can slide the tray into the box as shown above. You can also slide the belly band over the box being careful so the edge of the box doesn’t become frayed.

This is how the box looks once the belly band is in place.

The card for today is created let’s just say with Stampin’ Up! products, since there are so many I used today!


The art piece is a 3-1/8″ Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad DSP and colored with Stampin’ Blends. The mat is Basic Black card stock and has the greeting from Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner stamped in the lower-left corner in Stampin’ Up! Gold Delicata Metallic Ink. Three Stampin’ Up! Gold Glitter Enamel Dots are adhered in the right corner. A bow made from Stampin’ Up! Gold Shimmer Ribbon (from the Christmastime Is Here Suite) is popped on the corner of the art piece using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot.








































Happy Friday everyone, many have a three day weekend and I am sure you are planning a fun time since there is an extra day. This weekend is like the official end of summer and everyone is thinking of the long usually school year ahead. I know many schools do not start until the day after Labor Day, as it should be. Children do not need to go to school in the hot of summer. I think the school system here started the last week of July. That is much too early. The school I worked at for 9 years starts the day after Labor Day. That’s enough lamenting about the school systems. Have a glorious weekend as you relax and have fun with family and friends.
The card I am sharing today is one I haven’t used before, I’ve picked it up, looked at it and put it back on the shelf, so I thought it was time to give it a try. It is the Stampin’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. I have seen so many pretty cards made using it.
My card starts with a Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand card stock base. Next up is a Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock card stock mat for the focal panel which is a panel of Stampin’ Up! Woven Threads Designer Series Paper cropped using the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Rectangle Dies. These are adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The Woven Threads DSP panel being the focal panel is stamped using Stampin’ Up! Pretty Peacock ink and the Stamping’ Up! Very Versailles Stamp Set. Once stamped, a circle die from the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Dies is used to cut a circle from the panel. This circle will be added back to the opening using Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals once the 1″ strip of the Woven Threads DSP is partially adhered over the opening of the circle.
A bow is made using Stampin’ Up! Linen Thread. It is adhered using a Stampin’ Up! Mini Glue Dot. A single butterfly to give just a pop of color to the card is punch from a scrap of the Woven Threads DSP and popped on the circle using a Glue Dot.
The greeting is added in the left corner of the panel using Stampin’ Up! Sahara Sand ink and a stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Around The Corner Stamp Set. I like this stamp set and have cut other stamps apart to achieve the same effect as this stamp set gives. I store these stamps along with this set so I will know where they are when needed for a card. Three Adhesive Backed Sequins are placed randomly around the card front.
The inside sentiment panel is Stampin’ Up! Very Vanilla card stock matted on a panel of the Pretty Peacock card stock and stamped with stamps from the Very Versaille Stamp Set in Pretty Peacock ink.
The envelope flap has been given a panel of the Woven Threads DSP. It coordinates with the strip on the card front.
