Gift Boxes With Hey, Hello

10

Leave a Comment

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today. With most people around the world right now sheltering in place to help reduce the spread of coronavirus, no birthday parties or wedding receptions or baby showers or celebrations of any kind involving groups of people are happening. I want to make sure some special people in my life still feel loved even if we cannot be together for special events. My Mother-in-law just turned 80 and I couldn’t even give her a hug! I decided to make some little gift boxes to deliver to some special people with some goodies inside. I used two coordinating sheets of 12×12 of pattern papers from the beautiful Hey, Hello collection and decorated my boxes with tags that can be cut from pattern paper. Boxes are easy to make. I used a cut file from SVGcuts , but they can also be made without using a cutting machine.

The Hey, Hello collection is perfect for special occasions of all kinds, like birthdays.

There is plenty of room inside for cupcakes, donuts, or cookies.

Layer up a couple tags and a ribbon on the top to make your box so festive looking.

This next gift box could be used for a birthday as well, but I’m giving it to a girl who will be graduating from high school. Commencements have been canceled. I can put candy, gift cards, or cash inside.

I added a tag cut from pattern paper to the top along with a die cut phrase ephemera piece and some ribbon.

But don’t think this collection is just for kids… This beautiful floral box went to my Mother-in-law. It would be perfect for Mother’s Day too. There are lots of other beautiful floral papers that would make lovely gift boxes.

I put her favorite chocolates inside. Once again I adorned my box with ribbon, a tag, die cut ephemera, and cut paper leaves.

Do you have anyone special you can’t be with right now? Why not create a special gift box for them. You don’t need a special occasion to tell someone your thinking of them.

Quick and Easy Birthday Treats

Do you know the quickest way to win an 8 year old’s heart? Three words – King Size Candybar. That they: don’t. have. to. share. 😉 Hi Friends, it’s Wendy Sue here today, sharing a quick and easy birthday treat idea you can whip up in no time at all!

Quick and Easy Birthday treat project by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Happy Cake Day" collection by @PebblesInc.

Whether you’re creating party favors, neighbor treats, special gifts for a class or team, or some fun “just because” treats, these quick and easy candy bar wraps are the perfect solution! Here’s a quick tutorial, just to demonstrate how easy they are to make! Start by cutting the wrapper from patterned paper (I used the “Happy Cake Day” collection for this project).

Quick and Easy Birthday treat project by Wendy Sue Anderson featuring the "Happy Cake Day" collection by @PebblesInc.

I used cut file # 44645 from the Silhouette store, but I had to resize it to fit the larger candy bars. After the wrapper is cut, fold along all the score lines.

Use a strong adhesive to secure the wrapper and slide in the candy bar.
(If you don’t have an electronic die cutting machine, you could also trim the paper and simple wrap around the candy. )

Use a pre-made white shipping tag or create your own simple white tag shape to fit over the front of the candy bar (approximately 2 1/2″ x 5″). Use foam adhesive square or other adhesive to add a printed die-cuts or two to the front of the tag.

Print a sentiment or greeting onto white cardstock. Cut into strips and notch on the right end. Punch a hole in the left end. Add this piece to the front of the tag, aligning the holes.

Now attach this entire piece to the front of the candy wrap – I like to use foam adhesive squares here too!

Next, tie a piece of colorful coordinating ribbon around the entire piece and tie through the tag holes on the front.

Happy Cake Day Party Favors

Hello Pebbles friends! Marcia here today with my first post using the fun Happy Cake Day collection. I love making party favors. They can really help to create a festive vibe at your party. Instead of making just a couple cake boxes, I made an entire cake! Best of all, they can be displayed on a cake plate just like a real cake.

I made a combination of chocolate and strawberry cake boxes using several different pattern papers for my frosting. Some pretty rosette ribbon looks just like piped frosting along the edge of my cake.

You can decorate the boxes with stickers or die cut ephemera pieces like I did here.

The tops of the cake boxes come off to reveal a nice sized space for treats.

Each cake box also has it’s own candle. A little bit of yellow stickles gives them a warm glow.

Wouldn’t you love to receive one of these cake box party favors when you attend your next birthday party! You can find the cut file at SVGcuts, It’s called B is For Birthday.  Be sure to check out the Happy Cake Day collection for your families birthdays.

Supplies:
Happy Cake Day collection 12×12 paper pad
Happy Cake Day collection ephemera with foil accents
American Crafts cardstock

Hello everyone! It’s Eva on the blog today, sharing some quick Halloween boxes made with the “This Is Family” papers.

I love to create Halloween treat boxes, I think they are a great handmade gift for someone special! These boxes are very simple and the best part is that you don’t need any special Halloween supplies to create them!

To create these flip top boxes, start by cutting a 9 2/8 x 6 7/8 inch patterned paper. Score it on the long side at 1/2 inch, 3 5/8 inch, 4 7/8 inch and 8 inches. Next, rotate the paper and score on the short side at 1 1/4 inch, 4 3/8 inch and 5 5/8 inches.

Score all the lines and cut the two left section of your box. Cut the lines you see on yellow and score the ones you see on orange.

Assemble your box by gluing the lids. You can use some sharp scissors to cut a triangle on the side of the lid.

Decorate the boxes with black and white cardstock and some monster eyes! The boxes are ready to be filled with your favorite treat!

I added some teeth, eyebrows, horns, spots and even some hair made with a tassel! Kids could help you decorate the boxes, I am sure they can come up with some spooky monsters!

Well, hello friends! It’s Wendy Sue here today and I’m planning a fun little girl’s night next weekend, and what’s a party without fun little take-home gifts? I love filling cute little boxes with some of my favorite things (lip gloss, lotion, chocolate truffles, etc.) for my bff’s – and it’s so much fun to wrap them up differently every time! This time, I used a fun cut file (#294809 in the Silhouette Store) and products from the “This is Family” collection. I think they are pretty, and they were super easy to create! Keep reading for the details!

I started by cutting the shape from several papers – I’ll walk you through the entire process below!

First, cut it out:

Next, fold gently along the scored lines for the box ends and add adhesive to the handle.

Glue the handles together and fold the ends.

Choose coordinating washi tape and wrap all around the middle to keep the ends securely closed (be sure to put the treats inside BEFORE taping it shut)!

Now add a coordinating printed die-cut on top of the washi.

Create a layered tag by cutting the printed tags from the page, then cutting an additional tag shape from a coordinating paper. Punch a 1/2″ circle and cut one of the sides off.

Layer the pieces together and glue.

Use a smaller hole punch to punch through the pink circle portion.

Use coordinating string, twine, or ribbon to tie the tag to the handle of the box.
