Creativity Abounds Blog Hop…Christmas Packaging

Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Blog Hop!  We are a group of international Stampin' Up!® demonstrators.  We hop together on the third Wednesday of every month.  Our hops focus around a particular bundle, holiday, occasion or product suite.  Every month we create a tutorial bundle. We also offer a quarterly stamp camp.  The next stamp camp will be in February 2023 and will feature a suite from the 2023 January-April Mini Catalog.  We look forward to sharing more information soon!

This month our theme is Gift Packaging/Gift Giving.  What a timely topic!  The projects we feature on this blog hop are different than the ones in the tutorial bundle.  We love sharing lots of ideas.

I had so much fun coming up with this little box.  It would be perfect for a gift of jewelry or a beautiful chocolate truffle.  

• Cut 2 Mini Pocket Envelopes from the Celebrate Everything DSP (Stampin' Reward choice).
• Trim off the tabs along the bottom of the envelope.
• Score 1-1/4" (3 cm) from the bottom edge.
• 
• Trim off part of the side tab (portion that is below the score line) and cut from the bottom up to the score line as shown above.
• Attach the tab edge to the straight edge of the second envelope. 
• 
• Attach the remaining tab to the other straight edge.
• Pinch the shorter sides in.
• 
• Fold the bottom flaps in and secure with adhesive.
• Punch two holes on the top (front and back).
• Run Polished Pink ribbon through the holes and tie a bow.
• Die cut 2 detailed holly leaves (1 large and 1 small) using the Holly Berry Dies in Silver Foil.
• Die cut 2 solid holly leaves (1 large and 1 small) using the Holly Berry Dies in Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper.
• Adhere the silver foil detailed leaves over the solid Parakeet Party Glimmer Paper leaves.
• Color a small piece of White Glimmer Paper with a Polished Pink Stampin' Blend.
• Punch 9 small circles.  I used the Dots and Spots die.
• Attach the Polished Pink circles in 3 clumps of 3 circles to the leaves.
• Attach the leaves to the box with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Now it is time to check out what the rest of the team created.
