DIY Packaging - How to Make Quick Boxes | The Stamp Market

 Good Morning!
What a delight to be greeted with some sunshine today! I hope it's sunny wherever you may be too :)


Speaking of which, today's project brings sunny thoughts to mind. It's a very quick share, featuring some pretty blooms and a DIY gift box, which started out as a card, but quickly morphed into a cute packaging idea.


To make my card base, I used a few darling toppings from TSM - Spring Blossom, Homemade bundle, and a heaping of delicious Color Crush ink hues - all linked up below.

To make the box, I used standard cardstock, and scored things up with my trimmer (any scoring mechanism would work though). This method works super well if you don't have any larger cardstock on hand, as the box consists of two pieces - a top and a bottom - which are made individually.

TIP
I wanted my box to be slightly bigger than my card base, so I decided that the top and bottom of the box would be 5.75" x 4.5", and I wanted deep enough sides so that it would be easy to add in some larger baked goods, so I settled on 2". This meant that my starting size would need to be 9.75" x 8.5", and that my score would need to be 2" all around. Once I was done cutting and scoring, I snipped a slit and in the corner score lines, which makes folding a little easier. This is a pretty good photo tutorial if you're a visual learner like I am.

Before adhering the base onto the box, I added a tiny sentiment accent using the Dear Friend mini stamp.
I so enjoyed making this little altered project! And I can hardly wait to fill it with yummy treats for someone special ;)
