12 Days of Christmas | Custom Gift Boxes

By | December 6, 2022

DIY Custom Gift Box or Socks

It’s Day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas! I’m sharing how to craft custom gift boxes for jewelry, socks, slipper sox, edible treats and almost any small item.

Remember back in the day when the Customer Service counter at the nice department store handed out gift boxes with purchases. Have you gotten one lately? Just wondering. I find it difficult just locating the Customer Service counter these days. 😆

No worries! You don’t need the department store boxes for your special gifts. You can craft and customize your gift boxes with just the basic tools. Your gift recipients will feel the love when they see your handmade gift box.

Basic Tools and Supplies 

  • Simply Scored
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Adhesive

Step-by-Step Replay

I demo how to determine the size box you’ll need and I also share step-by-step instructions and measurement to make a Box for Socks with the Basic Tools in this video, a Facebook Happy Hour with AnaMarie tutorial.

Give it a try! A custom gift box means so much more that a store-bought gift bag. The recipient will be thrilled to see your crafty skills in action.

Stampin' Up! Cracker & Treat Box | Just Stamp Painted Christmas Cracker

It’s 12 Days of Christmas Day 3! I’m sharing the Christmas Crackers or Party Poppers project I’m working on in the studio as I prepare for my Team Time this weekend.  Crackers make thoughtful treats for your favorite service people, co-workers, and friends.

To make the Christmas Crackers or Party Poppers, you need just a Stampin’ Up! Crackers & Treat Box Die, or basic tools and patterned papers.

Stampin’ Up! offers an easy-to-cut and assemble die that’s UNAVAILABLE right now. It’s expected to be back in stock in mid February. Fortunately, the cracker box is just as easy to make without a die.

Basic Tools and Supplies 

  • Cracker & Treat Box Dies or
  • Simply Scored
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips
  • Adhesive

Step-by-Step Replay

I demo the die, but I’ll also give you step-by-step instructions and measurement to make with the Basic Tools in this video.

 

Slip a gift, trinket, hat or joke inside. They make great table decorations or party favors of the holidays, weddings, baby showers — any party!

12 Days of Christmas | Easy Christmas Cards

Stampin' Up! Christmas Whimsy Kit | Just Stamp

Although it’s December 1, there is still time to craft handmade Christmas cards to send to the peeps you may reach out to only once a year.

Stampin’ Up! kits are the ticket for special projects without stress — no designing, no measuring, no searching for supplies. Everything you need is in the box!

For Christmas, my favorite kit is the Christmas Whimsy. The kit creates 8 cards; four or two designs. The cute elves are at work decorating the tree on the ladder, and delivering pressies on a sled.

Catch the Step-by-Step

While the English kit is Sold Out online, I have inventory. Email me at amp@anamariepalmerin.com for the link to purchase.

One other Christmas kit still available online is Cozy & Bright, beautiful cards with gold embellishment and a stamp set with your choice of greetings. See it HERE.
