If you’re looking for a unique way to package a gift, I have a great DIY paper crafting idea to share today. It’s a fun fold using a 12 x 12 sheet of patterned paper. It’s so easy! With a few quick creases, you can create a pocket to hold a variety of gifts. Add a few embellishments, and you’re good to go. It’s super cute and is sure to wow. Think of all of the possibilities. A great way to use some of the pretty paper you’ve been hoarding.
Fun Fold Gift Packaging
For today’s project, I used a variety of Stampin’ Up!’s products:
One 12 x 12 sheet of Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper. Select this gorgeous package of double-sided paper free during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration sale with a $50 order before tax and shipping. Watch the video below to see how it’s folded.
Gold Foil die cut with Deckled Circle Dies — fifth from largest. Find the Deckled Circles Dies as an Online Exclusive.

Most Adored Treat Box
My project is a cute DIY Valentine treat box. I modeled it after the sample found on page 3 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog. I filled the treat package with a box of Conversation Hearts, but it’s large enough to hold a variety of snacks and/or small gift items. Can you see other uses for these fun boxes? Wedding favors? Shower favors?
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this project comes together. I give step-by-step directions from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona.
