A Fun Box for Gifts and Such!

Robin · February 23, 2017 ·

Aloha, all!

     Earlier this week I was involved in making a project for a group to which I belong. The idea was to take a project for which there was a tutorial with a sample made from retired Stampin' Up! products and remake it with current products. As I do with most projects that I make in my Craft Room, I had a lot of fun with it!

     This is a box made with a sheet of 12" square cardstock, the kind that Stampin' Up! (as well as other paper companies) sells. The way it's folded, each of the sides is a 4" square, and is easily decorated in many different ways. I chose to make this a birthday box, and decorated the sides with die-cut designs using the Stampin' Up! Ballon Pop-up Thinlits Dies. Instead of making a pop-up card, I just cut enough cardstock to give me the three-balloon shape at the center of the die.

     For the entire project, I used paper from the Party Animal Designer Series Paper set. In fact, I used just one design from that set. I covered the squares on each of the four sides with one side of a sheet of paper and covered the indented corners using the other side of the same sheet which is a design with the color, Pacific Point. Then I die cut two of the balloon designs from the Thinlits Set using the Pacific Point paper and punched a third, solid, balloon using the Balloon Bouquet Punch.

     After I folded the box, I tied the top inside corners together using the 1/8" Whisper White Ribbon from the Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack. Love that ribbon! Here's a copy of the project looking down at it:

     This is really a simple project to make – just score the cardstock at 4" and 8" both vertically and horizontally, and score in from each of the four corners to the place where the vertical and horizontal score lines cross. Fold the vertical and horizontal lines as a valley fold and the diagonal lines as a mountain fold. Here's a sketch showing this.

     Here are the products I used for this project. Just click on any of them to go to my Stampin' Up! store to learn more about them and to order online, any time, 24/7!

I have been stamping and paper crafting for over 30 years, and have been an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for 10 years.

My favorite part of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is teaching others to enjoy crafting themselves. Not only do I conduct classes in person, I write tutorials for teaching anyone who has internet access. No matter if you're in my area on the east side of Hawaii's Big Island or anywhere else in the world, let me know if there's something you'd like to learn!
