More Organization – More Time for Crafting
These Decorative Window Gift Boxes are cute on their own, but we made them even cuter with Venetian Romance Designer Series Paper and a bit of stamping.
I recorded a video, but had too many technical difficulties. Sorry!

Want to make a custom box? All these boxes were based on the smallest envelope listed on the chart on the Envelope Punch Board. I just added increments of 1/4″ up to 7″ for the height of the box. I was experimenting to see how much I would need to add to get the thickness (or height) I wanted. The ones made with Melon Mambo can be made with 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. For the Basic Gray ones, you’ll need to use 12″ x 12″ card stock.
Use this chart to find what to add to your dimensions for a particular height. There are also a few extra tips.

The Envelope Punch Board makes the box easily. We lined it with the same Designer Series Paper. It’s just the right size for a gift card, but we put 3 chocolate hearts inside. The Spiral Flower Die helps make this 3-D flower pretty easily. It’s not something you could pop in the mail, but it makes a gorgeous gift to hand to a friend.

This was so quick! Make one tag with the Stamp-a-Tag Kit. Wrap Designer Series Paper around the box to make a matching gift bag. I love the feel of this Cherry Cobbler Ribbon! Gift is done!

These little mini milk cartons hold sweet pea seeds. I thought that would be a nice way to bring in the gardening theme. We used the gingham wheel on top of the box. It feels good to help the Ronald McDonald Charities too!

Did you know you can use Embossing Powder on metal? I bought inexpensive mail boxes from Target. We embossed and added a bit of ribbon and punches. I saw how to punch an arrow with the tag punch. Who thought of that? I wish I knew! The mail box is ready for valentines. Be mine!
