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.

You'll want to make sure you have all the supplies you need and enough time to complete your cards before December rolls around.

Get Ready for the New Catalog Release with the New Catalog Shopping List Download


Get ready to place your first order from the new catalog by downloading a copy of the new Shopping List.   You'll want to be ready to place your order as early as possible on June 4 to ensure you are in the ordering queue when the new catalog launches on June 4, at noon MT. 

While Stampin' Up! evaluates it inventory and ordering processes to ensure it can fulfill all orders, as Stampin' Up! has grown, its become harder to ensure popular items don't quickly sell out.  Remember the Butterfly Duet Punch?  And the Dies for Wonderful Romance?  Rather than waiting weeks for restocking of popular items, I recommend downloading this handy Shopping List which includes an index to key sections of the new catalog, and jumpin' online as soon as the new catalog ordering begins, to ensure you're able to order everything on your Shopping List without disappointing delays.  One change I've found really useful in this year's catalog is a section towards the front of the catalog listing all of the bundles in one place. 

If you're looking for savings and a way to earn the most shopping rewards with your orders of $150+ (not including shipping and tax), bundles are a great way to maximize your purchases.  You save 10% when ordering a coordinating Stamp Set and Dies or Punches together as a bundle.
