Make Your Own Custom Gift Boxes!

At our recent Pals Online Meeting, we learned how to make custom boxes to fit specific gift items we might be giving. So fun! Tammy Beard, fellow Stampin’ Pal, did such a great job of showing us how to create these fun boxes. For example, I made this box that fits a roll or two of our Stampin’ Up! ribbons!

See how cute a spool of Stampin’ Up! ribbon looks inside?

For this sized box, I started out with two pieces of paper — one was the Flirty Flamingo cardstock for the box base at 6″ x 6″, and one was a piece of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper for the lid, cut at 6″ x 6″. Tammy gave us a tip to cute the base a LITTLE short of 6″ on each side, in order for the lid of the box to fit better.

Notice Tammy’s measurements below – both squares were scored at 1″ on all sides.

Then some slits were cut on two sides, opposite of each other, only one-inch cuts up to the next scoreline. Here is a graphic — the dark lines are scissor cuts.

From there, you just fold and burnish at all the score lines and use a strong adhesive to tape the small corner flaps inside the side flaps. So easy! Then I had fun decorating with flowers cut from the Pierced Blooms Dies, one of my favorite die sets! Fun — who would want this little box with a goodie inside?

Here are the supplies I used for this cute box. Then scroll on for more exciting info!

Do you know these beautiful colors are soon to retire, never to be seen again in a Stampin’ Up! catalog? (unless we have a complete color refresh, of course!). So in the meantime, make sure you have ink, ink refills, card stock, and designer series papers that coordinate with these lovely colors. What’s your fave? I’ll tell you mine…it’s Cinnamon Cider! So yummy, not only for fall, but in combination with so many other pretty colors.
