Need a few packaging or gift giving ideas for Christmas? These are quick and easy to make so you could even do them for tomorrow. Or, maybe easier, just switch out the decor and make them for birthdays or valentines or easter or ....
If you would like to see the video from Show and Tell with Tracey (s1e3) you can watch the replay on my youtube channel.
Here are the measurements and tips for the projects:
You can stamp on the matte side of the box (the shiny side is the food safe side). If you are using a stamp or DSP where direction matters, make sure you align them for the direction they appear after the box is folded up.
I have shown the cardstock in 2 different colours so you can see how to assemble. Generally I would use the thick basic white or very vanilla for a little extra durability but coloured cardstock will hold up.
If you put adhesive all around the back of the mini envelope, it definitely helps getting the gift card or tea bag into the envelope.
No special tips here - I just love this project.
So many options for what you can fit in the 2 slots of this treat / gift card holder. Full size greeting card or notecard, tea bag, chocolates, hot chocolate, cider or coffee power, cookies ... oh the possibilities.
This works to put the cardstock/DSP panel on the same side of the envelope (inside and out) or on opposite side ( I know this because I accidently put one on the wrong side). Thinner items like tea bags, gift cards, chocolates fit in the envelope.
A little treat given in kindness or love can really make someone's day. Have these on hand just in case someone needs a pick me up, thank you or for a special occasion.
Happy stamping and Merry Christmas peeps!
Tracey
