Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Tag, You’re It” – tags or 3D projects to get you inspired for the upcoming gift season. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I created a set of five Playful Pets cards, with envelopes, and a gift box to hold them. I’ve already mailed this boxed set to an animal rescue in North Dakota to use as part of their fundraising silent auction.
Here’s the gift box, which is made from DSP:
I used the Playful Alphabet die set with two layers of the adhesive sheets to create the eclipse part of the card.
Here are the five cards stored inside the box:
The Gift Box
I’ve got the whole set-up to start filming videos and I really need to do that ASAP. For this blog, however, I took pictures of measurements and each step for creating the box. I figured a picture is worth a 1,000 words, so enough of them would be much better than trying to explain in words.
I used a piece of Crumb Cake and Pool Party for this sample box so the measurements, lines, etc. would be easier to see.
Here’s the gift box, step-by-step:
BOX TOP
For some strange and unknown reason, I didn’t take a picture after I put the tear and tape strips on the box. However, the bottom of the box is put together the same way as the top. The difference is that the bottom has an angled side, aAs you can see below.
BOTTOM OF THE BOX
I hope these pictures are truly worth a thousand words. Try it! If you are following the blog hop, you can trim, score, use adhesive, and fold. Simple as that. Truly.

Great job Sue! I love the cat cards and coordinating box to put them in. Sending them to a shelter for a fundraiser just makes my heart melt.

Thank you, Ann! Everything about this set was fun to create.
This is so cute, Sue! What a great gift!
Thank you, Su. I think I am going to have to make more boxed sets for Christmas gifts.
I just love these adorable cards with gift box and really love that you made it as a fundraising donation. You go, girl! That’s a wonderful use of our love of stamps, ink and paper!!
Thanks, Debbie! TMAR deserves to have a great silent auction, and I am glad I could be a part of it.
Perfect gift for the auction. I’m sure a pet lover would love to have your gift box and cards. Thanks for sharing the detailed instructions and your wonderful creative ideas.
Thank you, Dacia! I hope the winning bidder enjoys sending the cards as much as I enjoyed making them.
How Adorable! Great for the Pet Lover in your life! LOVE!
Thanks, Karen! I love this paper and am so happy that I could order another pack on the 10% off sale!
How adorable! I bet the all LOVE it! So nice of you to donate to a good cause. Your instruction make this box look super easy to make, thank you!
I hope you have fun making the box. Think of all the gift possibilities!
I really love this project So much fun! As a donation, it was stellar. I’m so excited to see or hear other demonstrator donate, we just don’t talk about it. I’m having trouble reading the numbers, I guess I need stronger glasses. Your CS is 8 1/2″ X What? and the Bottom of your box is 8 3/8″ X What? I’m really sorry, I couldn’t read this. Thank you so much for sharing. I got my Lucy Bean from a shelter, also.
I hope you don’t mind my emailing you again? Are you still going to make that video? I’m more of a visual learner. I really want to CASE this adorable project. My husband and I are an older couple, we have a neighbor that takes our dog for long walks. I really want to give her a Thank you gift, to her. That’s why I want the video, as well as, I can donate to the shelter where we got Lucy. Again, Thank YOU for reading my emails.
