Hi friends! I have a sweet decorated gift box that is perfect for those special gifts, made even more festive with some stamping and glittery cardstock. I am always on the lookout for fun items that I can make more special with the addition of a little papercrafting magic, and these little papier mâche boxes that I found at the dollar store were perfect for turning into a pretty holiday gift box. Let’s get started with the details on my project!

To begin, I used my T-square to measure the sides of the box, then trimmed down some white cardstock to fit each side. To create the custom “wrapping paper,” I used the individual stamps from Jingle All the Way with Artichoke Pawsitively Saturated Ink to stamp a unique holiday pattern all over each panel. To add some shimmering details, I used a gold paint pen to add shiny gold baubles to the Christmas trees, berries, and snowflakes on each panel. Once the panels had been completed, I adhered them to each side of the gift box with Simon Says Stamp Tear-rific Tape.
After I had securely adhered each stamped piece to the sides and top of the gift box, I die cut a gorgeous, fluffy Giant Gift Bow from gold glitter cardstock. I used foam squares to adhere the components, helping to increase the dimension and visibility of each die cut section. I also used my trimmer to trim down some strips of gold glitter cardstock to create the “ribbon” for the box topper. I added the bow to the center of the box topper with some more foam adhesive. I love how festive and sparkly this little gift box is!
To create a coordinating gift tag, I first die cut one of the smaller pierced tags from the new Layered Scallop Tags die set using white cardstock. I used the same Artichoke Pawsitively Saturated Ink to stamp some little holly berries from the Jingle All the Way stamp set. I added a coordinating green tag topper die cut and tucked it beneath the glittering bow with some more foam adhesive squares to finish it off!
Well, that’s all for my project today! I hope you’re all ready for the big day tomorrow. Feeling puny for almost 2 weeks straight right before Christmas was not on my bingo card for this year, so I’m feeling the heat trying to get everything done in time! I still have some more holiday projects to share with you, but I feel like the Christmas holiday lasts at least throughout Epiphany, so we’re just going to keep celebrating here on my blog. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and Merry Christmas Eve!!
