Barry's Gift Boxes for Jay's Birthday Presents

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by today, it's Barry here. You may already know that it was Jay's birthday yesterday and thank you to everyone that wished him well. I wanted to try something different and step out of my comfort zone by creating handmade gift boxes / packaging for all of his presents. I think I can honestly say that I am now addictive to making boxes LOL

The box below is a flip top box containing a box of sweets and measures

4 1/4" x 6 1/8" x 1 1/8"

I used 2 small velcro dots to keep the box sealed and the following Stampin' Up! products:

Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper 144125

Delicate White Doilies 141701

Island Indigo Ombre Ribbon 144233

I also used some products from the Autumn / Winter Catalogue launching on 1st September 2017 Below are the product names and numbers if you would like to place an order with us

Painted Harvest Bundle 146021

Leaf Punch 144667

Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set 144783

Merry Little Labels Bundle CLEAR 146030

Merry Little Labels CLEAR Mount Stamp Set 144798

Everyday Label Punch 144668

The next box I created is relatively simple and is a cube to contain a lovely Lush bath bomb and measures 

3 3/8" x 3 1/4" x 3 3/8"

The idea from this box came about from a recent crafting play date with other Royal Stampers in Queen Pip's team. Sara from Crafty Little Minx had a candle box from a shop and wanted to recreate it so the challenge was on! The DSP on this box finishes the box off really well and makes it more special. The box is a closed box with a designer series paper lid as you can see from the pictures below

I have used the following products

Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper 144185

Emerald Envy Cardstock 141420

Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon 144135

I've seen many versions of the faceted box below on the internet and wanted to give it a try. I was able to locate a template with no measurements so my next challenge was to work out how it was constructed and adjust the measurements to fit another Lush bath bomb. The box is 3 1/4" square with faceted sides

Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper 144185

Sweet Cupcake Photopolymer Stamp Set 141498

Cupcake Cutout Framelits 141474

Classic Label Punch 141491

Teeny Tiny Sentiments CLEAR Mount Stamp Set 120024

The last box contained the main present and was a joint Birthday/Christmas present so I wanted the box to reflect this on the design. The present was already in an elongated box 

12 9/16" x 2 11/16" x 1 1/4"

which I couldn't fit on a single A4 or 12"x12" cardstock. I ended up creating 2 small boxes that interlocks within each other

The Christmas box measures 7" x 2 13/16" x 1 3/8"

The Birthday box measures 7" x 2 3/4" x 1 5/16"

I have used both the Stampin' Trimmer 129722 and Simply Scored Scoring Tool 122334 on all of the boxes above. There is another packaging which you can see from the first photo that I will blog with Jay's birthday card soon
