Sometimes you just need a quick little box to package a gift. Today, I show you a quick, easy-peasy gift box that uses one-third of a piece of 12 x 12 patterned paper. That means you can make three boxes from one sheet. The boxes are perfect for small treats such as lip balms, mini candy bars, three Lindt chocolates, and more.
Note: Stampin’ Up! shared the directions for this box during Creativity Now, an online demonstrator event held in June. I loved it so much I just had to share with all of you.
Measurements and Details
Paper measuring 11 x 4. For today’s featured card, I used the sunflower pattern from the Blooms Impressions Designer Series Paper. (Hint: This Designer Series Paper is currently 15 percent off as part of Stampin’ Up!’s August 2025 sale on In Color products. Click here to see what’s on sale.) In addition to Designer Series Paper, I experimented with two-tone card and also tried regular card stock.
On the 11-inch side, score at 3 inches, 4 inches, 8 inches, and 9 inches. On the 4-inch side score at 1 inch ad 3 inches.
Cut on the score lines on the 11-inch side. (Be sure to watch the video below to see how this box comes together.)
Adhere small tabs to create box.
Embellish any way you like. For this box, I used the Stylish Shapes Dies, a sentiment from Beautiful Motifs, Darling Duckling ink, and Darling Duckling ribbon.
This next sample uses products from Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new Peaceful Garden Suite Collection. It’s available for order beginning September 3 in the September-December 2025 Mini Catalog. Want to get your hands on some of the holiday orders BEFORE September 3? Purchase Stampin’ Up!’s Starter Kit and add holiday catalog items to your kit. Contact me for more information. Or, click here to join my team.
For this final sample, I grabbed a piece of Petunia Pop two-tone card stock and stamped it with the large flower from the Gallery Blooms stamp set as well as the sentiment from Simply Said and Petunia Pop ribbon.
I hope you give these boxes a try. They are so quick and easy and can be made with almost any patterned paper or card stock.
