We created two projects at the recent Catalogue Launch Party, and I have already shared the beautiful birthday card. The second project we made was these stunning kraft gift boxes, and we decorated them with the oh-so-fun Advent Labels Bundle…

Bundles: Advent Labels Stamp Set + Advent Labels Punch (photopolymer: 168399). Stamps: Scalloped Christmas Cheer (photopolymer: 168538). Ink: Crumb Cake (147116), Real Red (147084), Peaceful Pine (167679). Card/Paper: Peaceful Pine (167692), Basic White (166781). Accessories: Advent Treat Boxes (168534), Multicolor Christmas Baker’s Twine (168426). Tools: 1-3/4" Circle Punch (119850), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430).

The Advent Treat Boxes use no adhesive and are so simple to put together! Just remove them from the packaging (you get a whopping 24 in a pack!), fold along the pre-scored lines, clip the back together using the slotted tabs, fold the front over the front tabs, and tuck in the top lid. It is much easier for you to do it than for me to write the steps!

Advent Treat Boxes (168534) - $32.00
24 stampable boxes: 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" x 3" (6.4 x 6.4 x 7.6 cm)

But before you put that beauty together, you MUST stamp it! We used Crumb Cake ink to stamp the string of Christmas lights onto the front, top, and back of the box. Then, once the box was constructed, we stamped that decorative background label from the Advent Labels stamp set in Real Red ink onto Basic White cardstock and punched it out using the coordinating Advent Labels Punch. The punch has a handy hole punch, which we used to thread that yummy Multicolor Christmas Baker’s Twine through before adding it to the top of the gift box.

We stamped the wreath in Peaceful Pine ink onto Peaceful Pine cardstock, punched it out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch and added it to the label on the top of the gift box with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Lastly, we borrowed the “SENDING CHRISTMAS CHEER” sentiment from the Scalloped Christmas Cheer stamp set, stamping it onto a 1 cm (3/8") strip of Basic White cardstock in Real Red ink, and trimming it down to “CHRISTMAS CHEER” for the front of the wreath.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made our Catalogue Launch Party such a happy day – I’m still smiling. If you’d like to recreate these boxes at home, the Advent Labels Bundle and Advent Treat Boxes make a wonderful pair. Stamp, punch, thread and knot the twine, and you’re done. Take a look and start your Christmas gifting early!
