Patterned Paper Perfection:
Elevate your gift card box with pattern paper. In this demonstration, I showcase the stunning designs from the Holiday Wishes Paper Pad, creating a festive and eye-catching exterior. Using pattern paper allows you to quickly personalize your gift card boxes for the recipient!
Texture Play with Cover Plate Dies:
For fun texture you can use your cover plate dies with your pattern paper. After cutting the box pieces, I ran them through the die-cutting machine with the Scattered Stars A2 Cover Plate, resulting in a delightful texture that adds a touch of whimsy.
Glimmer and Shine with Specialty Paper:
For those who adore a bit of sparkle, backing the die-cut box pieces with glitter paper is a game-changer. Watch as sparkly stars peep through, adding a magical shimmer to the final presentation. You also could back solid color cardstock with pattern paper!
Tie It Up with Twine or Ribbon:
Seal the deal on your gift presentation by wrapping twine or ribbon around the box. The red and white striped twine, featured in this project, perfectly complements the chosen patterned paper.
Embellish with Die-Cut Greenery and Stamps:
Amp up the ‘wow’ factor by incorporating die-cut greenery. Using the Lovely Layers Candy Cane Dies, I demonstrate how to add dimension to your die cuts with ink blending. Additionally, stamped candy canes and sentiments from the Holiday Treats Vintage Gift Card Box Add-On 6×6 Stamps and Dies provide the perfect finishing touch.
With these tips, your gift card boxes will become not just holders of presents but gorgeous gifts themselves. Happy crafting!
