18th Birthday Gift Box With Stampin' Up!® Tranquil Textures

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

Hi and welcome back, today I am showing you how I made a matching gift box for the exploding box card I shared the other day. As it was a social birthday I wanted the gift to look special as well. So here is what I cam up with. The present was in a tin so I want a non lidded box for it, I just wanted it to slip in but wanted the bottom of the box secured.

Video tutorial 


Click below to see how I made it and thenI will share with you how I went about designing and sizing the box.



Measurements and Materials 



Working out the box size

  • I measure the 3 dimensions of the box width, length and depth
  • I decided I wanted a closed bottom and a flap to tuck in at the top
  • Now I needed to draw a grid

    40th Birthday card using Stampin' Up!® Products

    Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

    Today I am bringing you a 40th Birthday card for a wine lover! I love the Half Full stamp set and have used if for lots of occasions. I have teamed it with the Bubble Over set because I loved the sentiment and the bible background stamp. I was a little clever with the bottle label because I managed to change the 1975 to 1978 which would have been the year my friend was born! I loved how this card also let me use the Stamparatus as well to get the row of wine glasses along the bottom of the card perfectly straight.
