 Just a warning I've got lots of pictures today so grab a cuppa and a biscuit/cookie/Tim Tam or two and get yourself comfortable.

I've gone with some gift box packaging ideas for you today showing the fabulousness of this gorgeous bundle with that Christmas in July feel. You can never have too many gift packaging ideas I say and these boxes are very generous in size so you can fit a decent sized gift in them.


The first box uses the Poinsettia card builder pieces to make the Vellum layer and then the Peace on Earth sentiment embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder for a fun and special look to make this more 'Chrismassy'. The Poinsettia card builder pieces are two Thinlit pieces that you place in each corner of your card, run it through the Big Shot to die cut and then you place them in the other corners and repeat the process to complete the look in each corner.

 Its accented with the Burlap trim, Basic Black Baker's Twine and the fabulous new Boxwood Wreaths Embellishments all from the Annual Catalogue. Love the mix of the Boxwood Wreaths with the trim. Gives a modern and trendy look and feel to the gift box.


The second box gave my Stamp-a-ma-jig a real workout that's for sure. I stamped the small deer image all over the Basic Black 12"x12" Cardstock using Whisper White Craft ink and then embossed each one using White Stampin' Emboss Powder. While this process took a little bit of time to do I think the results are fabulous and make for a fun and festive look.

This box has also been embellished with the Burlap, Basic Black Baker's Twine and the Boxwood Wreath Embellishments and I've also added a piece of DSP from the Annual Catalogue DSP Be Merry DSP.

The front panel was stamped also with Whisper White craft ink and embossed with White Stampin' Emboss powder like the box but I then sponged the Whisper White Craft ink over the Basic Black panel for that Chalkboard look. All adorned with the little Holly image coloured with Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers, both from the Regals Stampin' Write Markers, to get the two coloured look.


I put the Stamp-a-ma-jig to work again for this box. There are two parts to each stamped image the 'wreath' comes from the Lots of Love stamp set. While the wreath had the words 'Thinking of You' in the centre of it, I used Washi tape to cover over the words when inking up the image and then removed the tape when stamping the image down to mask out the words. Once all the wreaths were stamped I then used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to position the Holly image in the centre of each wreath.  My Stamp-a-ma-jig has never been used so much in its life. Back to it's hiding place for another two years! Ha! Again this took a little bit of time bit I'm loving the look of the two images stamped together.

All finished off with so Burlap Trim, Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon and some Basic Black Baker's Twine. And again a chalkboard 'Deck the Halls' gift tag. It's making me wish it was closer to Christmas to put these under the tree.


Here are some more pictures to give a bit more of a close up of each box.




Here is as side picture of the boxes to show how deep the boxes are.  The finished boxes measure at 6 x 6 x 3″ (15 x 15 x 7.5cm) so they are a fabulous size for those gifts that are just that little bit bigger and need a special gift box to go with it.


I hope that I've inspired you with this new Carols of Christmas and Card Front Builder bundle. Make sure as a demonstrator you get it now or as an avid Stampin' Up! customer you have this on your wish list ready to go come August 1st!
