Handmade Gift Boxes and Tags

By now you may have noticed that I love handmade gift wrap, especially handmade party favors. I’m always excited to see new releases of Lifestyle Crafts cutting dies, especially if they can be used for gifts. This week I worked with dies from the Bloom and Grow release and core collection and let me just say, I’m in love with them!

I made this cute box with the Dessert Box die which can be used as a party favor or even a handmade gift box. There are two dies included and the assembling is really easy to do. Just fold at the lines, glue, and embellish! With the busy paper pattern I decided to keep it simple by adding pearl embellishments and Bakers Twine.

The new treat box die is also another favorite. This die is adorable and the possibilities are endless. I used a Martha Stewart punch, pearl embellishments, and Bakers Twine to decorate this one. Lifestyle Crafts has an array of Boxes and Bags available to use as party favors, check them out I promise you’ll love them!

Handmade gift wrap just isn’t complete without a handmade tag. I used an embossing folder to create an embossed gift tag. What’s great about the Lifestyle Crafts machines is that you can use any brand of cutting dies and embossing folders. I picked up this embossing folder at Hobby Lobby for $5. Once I had my embossed gift tag cut out I added the flower and bakers twine on top. I used the new Flower Die from the Bloom and Grow Release. You can see the rest of the line below, aren’t the flourishes pretty? I bet you could embellish a frame with some of those.
