Stampin' Up! Christmas Pillow Boxes for Gift Cards

  • Kraft Pillow Boxes for Gift Cards
  • Stampin' Up! Snow Globe Dies 
  • New Holiday Card Classes November 17 & 18, 2019

Christmas Gift Card Pillow Boxes

I had some left over scraps from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I knew I would find a use for them because they had a wonderful, subtle sparkle to them.  Sure enough,I ran across an idea from another Stampin' Up! demonstrator,  Silke from www.bastelsafat.de using the Kraft Pillow Boxes.   I was able to use these wonderful, pieces of paper to die cut little sparkly trees to use for a small scene on the Kraft Pillow Boxes  These printed, die cut pillow boxes are great for gifts and wrapped goodies.  They come 10 pillow boxes to a package.  Use item# 147018 to order.  You'll have them in time to decorate them and add gift cards for many of the holiday gifts you're going to need.       
  





To cut the trees, I used the dies from the Snow Globe Scenes Dies.  I hand cut a 5" strip from Whisper White for the rolling snow mounds, making sure I left enough room for the sentiment.  I used a sentiment from the So Many Stars Stamp Set and stamped it in Real Red on the Whisper White hills.  I used the Cardinal from the October Paper Pumpkin Kit and stamped the small bird in Real Red onto the snow.         

  



I glued the trees to the back of the rolling snow mounds and then I added Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of all of the images.  Because of the rounded shape of the Kraft Pillow Boxes, I wanted to make sure that the images would hold when the Pillow Boxes were assembled.  Tear & Tape Adhesive is a strong adhesive meant for boxes and 3D items.  And I love that you can tear it rather than searching for your scissors hidden under a mound of craft supplies on your desk when you're in the midst of creating.      

To finishes the pillow box, I tied a bow out of Real Red Cotton Ribbon, and added a Jingle Bell to the bow.  I think this is such a cute gift package.  I know I'll be making many more.    





    


You'll love how quickly these Kraft Pillow Boxes fold together  A little decoration makes them something special. Your heart will smile when you see the joy your small, hand-made treasure gives to family and friends.  You'll love everything you make with these cute Kraft Pillow Boxes.

Stylish Holiday Cards will help you prepare for the Holidays

  • Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper
  • Frosted Bouquet Dies
  • New Holiday Card Classes happening this week end

Prepare for the Holidays with Stylish Stampin' Up! Cards

I take delight in using non-traditional colors for Christmas for some of my holiday cards.  Today, I'm using Seaside Spray with Feels Like Frost Specialty 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper to make this incredibly simple, yet charming Christmas Card.  And we're making it in our class this week end (see details more below). The Feels like Frost Designer Series Papers has so many dazzling wintry scenes.  Then, the reverse side of these papers are gorgeous Silver and White foil prints.  You'll find yourself making stunning cards your family and friends will display long after the holidays are over.         
     
  





Today's card uses a basecard of Seaside Spray cardstock dry embossed with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.  The the image layer is matted in Whisper White Cardstock.  The print is from the Feels Like Frost Specialty 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.       


  



For the sentiments, I used the Frosted Bouquet Dies to cut a Whisper White mat and then a smaller die from that set to die cut the Seaside Spray layer.  The sentiments are stamped in Versamark ink and then covered with White Emboss Powder and heated with my Heat Tool until set.  The edges of the sentiment label are accent with Silver Metallic Pearls.    

The edges of the sentiment layer include more die cuts from the Frosted Bouquet Dies.     

The left side of the card includes a knot of Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon.  





    


This is another card design you could make in bulk.  As we get closer to the mailing date for Holiday cards, you'll want to book mark a few of your favorite fast, easy cards that also appeal to your design aesthetics.    Your loved ones will enjoy receiving a handmade card from you made with these products.  And, you'll love everything you make with the beautiful Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

Recipe

  • Stamps: Perfectly Plaid (Sentiment), Winter woods (Sentiment)
  • Ink:   Versamark
  • Paper:  Seaside Spray, Whisper White, Feels Like Frost Specialty 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper
  • Accessories:  Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder, Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon, Frosted Bouquet Dies, Metallic Pearls, Multipurpose Glue,
