GIFT BAGS FROM 12 X 12 DOUBLE SIDED PAPER

This is by far my all time favorite project to do. That and each bag is done in less than 5 minutes. All you need is two 12 x 12 Double sided Printed card Stock, a score pal and some adhesive. 

Step it up with a matching card and stackable boxes that are filled with some goodies.

Here is the VIDEO to make the bag

I love to make matching nestable boxes to match my gift bags. 

SPRING CARD SET

With spring around the corner, its time for me to make my little gift card sets. I like to make these up to give to family and friends when they host family gatherings. Or just give them as a special gift of appreciation for someones kindness. 

I used the two paper stacks above to make all the cards below. I used one stamp set and my Cicut cutter. I wanted to show that you do not need a lot of scrapbook materials to create beautiful designs and creations. 

I also designed the box to fit all the cards and envelopes. I needed a box bigger than most tutorials on Pinterest due to the dimension of some of the cards. 

The measurements for the card box are as follows:

Bottom of box -  cut 1 @ 9 7/8 x 8 5/8 

score all sides at 2"

Snip corners up to score line and assemble box bottom

Top of box - cut 1@7 15/16 a 6 3/4

score all 4 sides at 1"

Snip corners up to score line and assemble box top

Matting

For the box top cut solid color at 4 5/8 x 5 7/8

Printed paper 4 1/2 x 5 3/4

Side Matting

Solid color cut 2 @ 7/8 x 4 5/8 and 2 @ 7/8 x 2 5 7/8

Printed Paper 2 @ 3/4 x 4 1/2 and 2 @ 3/4 x 5 3/4

CARDS

I matted the inside of each card to continue the elegant look and added a simple verse from the following CTMH Stamp sets. 

KEURIG K CUP GIFT HOLDERS

I Love to give out special little gifts at Christmas . There are so many people I want to show my appreciation. This set was done up for a dear friend of mine. She wanted a way to show her fellow co-worker at school how much she appreciated them. These little Keurig K cup boxes where perfect.

 

I used my cricut cutter, cricut design space, and the CCR file HERE.

 



 

I finished off each of the boxes with a paper bow and a stamped tag.

 

I used the Cricut cartridge designed for CTMH "Artistie" to make the bow.

 

I used the Stamp Set's from CTMH

"Very Merry Christmas" for the tag

 

You can fill each one with coffee, tea or hot coco's for the season.

 

CREATE OUR OWN CROCHET PACKAGING

I just love to crochet and giving my creations away, but I always felt it was missing a finishing touch.

I figured it out this year. I needed to create a package to wrap all my finished creations in. I went to work in Microsoft Word and/or Powerpoint.
 

After I was done designing, I was extremely pleased with the finished look. I have created several packaging styles, yet very similar, for all my creations. I can also edit each word document for what creation I need labels for.

 

This one is a box I made from cardstock to fit a hat and scarf set or just a hat.



 

The next one is for boot cuffs

 

 

I also created packaging for my little dish scrubbies.

 

 

 

SNOWMAN SOUP FOR TWO PACKAGING

 

 

My Coworker Crystal Parent and I wanted to create a way to give each one of our customers a special "Thank you" on Christmas Eve when they come into the Bank that day. 

Crystal will be making her secret Hot Coco recipe in a crock pot to share with the customers. Along with that I thought what a great way to share my all time favorite gift idea "Snowman Soup for Two" I quickly went to work one weekend and tested several creations. It didn't take to long to come up with this cleaver packaging idea. The package holds two hot coco packets and a small bag of miniature marshmallows. I then tied two candy canes on the outside of the box with a red box and finished it off with the "Snowman Soup Poem" and a tag.

 

DIRECTIONS

The box is a simple box to make it is the 2-5-7-10 milk carton box

The instruction can be found at SplitCoast Stamper HERE.

I used Kraft cardstock and stamped it with Stampin Up's white craft ink and a snowflake stamp.

 

I used the Stamp Set's from CTMH

Very Merry Christmas for the tag & Snowflakes for the box

 

I found the poem at "Yule be Baking" HERE. this was the perfect find as it is already for printing.

I printed it on Kraft paper.

 

 

 

ALL OCCASSION CARD SET

Add caption

This delightful set was created for a friend. I wanted to create a set that she could turn the card in landscape or portrait to get a different style and then add any label she wanted for the upcoming occasion she would need the card for.

I used the DCWV paper stack "The Blue Citrus Stack"

 I designed seven styles, two of each, for a total fourteen cards per set.

To make the labels I used the CTMH Stamp set "Casual Expressions Occasions" and my Cricut and the CTMH "Artiste" Cricut cartridge for the labels and matting. This stamp set is specially designed to coordinate with the Cricut Cartridge "Artiste"

I made a box for all the cards and labels to fit into.

BOX INSTRUCTIONS

You must have some knowledge of box construction as I have no photos

Top

The top is cut at 6 1/2 x 4 1/2 and scored at 1 inch on all 4 sides.

Bottom

Cut two at 11 1/8 x 8 and score on both short sides at 4 1/4 and one long side at 2 1/8 for form the bottom of the box. Fold on score lines. Be sure to trim the bottom of the box. These two pieces fit into each other to form the box. Adhere sides to each other.

ELEGANT BLANK CARD BUNDLE

This delightful card set was made as a special order. They are blank cards so that the individual can write their own little message in there, or use a special verse stamp on the inside. I made a box with a clear center to keep all the cards in.

I like making these kits up and having them on hand, this way when I need a card for a special occasion, to send some encouragement or just a special thank you, I have them on hand.

This set was made as a gatefold card and the inside was stamped with coordinating stamps that matched the outside of the card. Each one was then tied with twine.

There are plenty of tutorials on "PINTEREST" on how to make a GATEFOLD CARD.
