Twist & Close Gift Box with Painterly Pears

I absolutely love making boxes (and 3D items) to give as gifts.  It’s been awhile since I’ve shared these. (I seem to be on a fun fold card kick lately!) Yesterday I revealed my Mystery Monday cards and while making the Perfectly Pears card it gave me an idea and as usual one thing led to another. I left you with a teaser yesterday showing the box I made. Today I will reveal what’s inside the box plus how to create it. It’s really quick & easy! (I don’t do complicated!!!)

Did you guess what was in the box? Chris came very close in her comment as she thought it could be a pear “scented” candle. It is actually a pear “shaped” (unscented) candle!

I bought several of these pear candles (in different colors) to have on hand for hostess gifts, a little something for a friend’s birthday, etc. I love them and have a few throughout my home as decor pieces. How perfect are they to gift with this DSP?!!! The Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper is my favorite from the New Online Exclusives released this month! The paper reminds me of the delicious pears from Harry & David!

I love it when I can make a card and gift to coordinate!

If you missed yesterday’s post with the details to make the card, CLICK HERE.

When I was young I loved Highlights Magazine. One of my favorite things was the page where you had to “Spot the Difference”. How good are your observation skills? Did you spot the difference in the photos of the box?

That was the “great debate” yesterday… I made a couple of samples and asked my daughter, my sister, and a friend which one they liked better. One person liked one version, one the other version, and one liked both versions. LOL And I go back and forth! I like the clean & simple version with just the single pear; however, I also like how the other version matches the card design with the same 3 pears. How about you? Which one do you prefer?
Leave a comment below!

Both versions open and close the same way. Here’s a photo looking at the top of the box. Such a cool design!

And here’s a look inside when you open it.

Of course I had to make more than one of these boxes. Here’s another version.

For this version I used Mossy Meadow cardstock for the box. Then I die cut the pear shape from Basic White cardstock and used my blending brushes to add color to match the pear candle and DSP. There are so many different ways to add color and I usually opt for Stampin’ Blend Markers; however, I thought the blending brushes gave a softer look for this project. What do you think?

Here’s a look at both boxes. Which one do you like better?

You can make these boxes in 10-15 minutes! Seriously! It is that easy! I can think of many different things that will fit in this box. I’m going to get a head start on the holiday season and make more of these!  I followed Sam Donalds’s version except I added another layer to my strips to coordinate with my card! I have been following “Pootles” since I first started stamping. I love listening to her accent as well as how she makes what looks complicated so easy! The link to her blog post/video is below where she creates a beautiful birthday version using the Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper is great for birthdays, weddings, baby, etc. (I LOVE both of her boxes!!!!)

Tucked Fun Fold for Mystery Stampin’ with Painterly Pears & Everyday Happiness…Free PDF

Did you play along with my Mystery Monday Stampin’? If you followed the clues you would have created a tucked fun fold card similar to these.
Mystery Solved!
Stampin' Up! Tucked fun fold card ideas with Perfectly Pears, Hugs For Love, and Everyday Happiness-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is another simple fun fold to create. I’d like to give a shout out to Heidi Collins who inspired me to create this fun fold for Mystery Stampin’. You’ll find the PDF at the end of this post but first I thought I’d share the basic measurements I got from Heidi.

Measurements:

  • Card base: 10 3/4″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 1 5/8″, 3 1/4″, 7 1/2″, and 9 1/8″
  • Cardstock – Left Panel: 3″ x 5″
  • Cardstock – Right Panel: 3″ x 4 1/4″
  • Cardstock – Inside Panel: 3″ x 4 1/4″
  • Patterned Paper – Left Panel: 2 3/4″ x 4 3/4″
  • Patterned Paper – Right Panel: 2 3/4″ x 4″
  • White – Inside Panel: 2 3/4″ x 4″

Once you have your pieces cut, scored, and layered, you just need to create your focal point.There are endless creative possibilities! I’d love to see what you create this week! Here’s a closer look at each of my cards.
Stampin Up! Hugs For Love fun fold card idea with Everyday Happiness and Spotlight on Nature Dies-jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Everyday Happiness Designer Series Paper in an online exclusive so you won’t find it in the catalog. This is one of my favorite DSP packs! I love the color combinations and all the different patterns. (Usually I’m excited if I like the front OR the back but this pack makes it hard to decide which side to use!) I used 4 (of the 6) designs on the front of this card. How simple is this? I let the patterned paper and the large font sentiment be the focal point.  I stamped the sentiment from Hugs For Love on one of the patterned paper designs and punched it out with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch and adhered it on a die cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. I layered another strip of the DSP across the front to ground the sentiment. I popped the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added some gold ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. I love how this card opens by pulling from both ends. “TA DA!”

I adhered DSP on the inside to stamp/write my message. If you don’t check out the online exclusives you are missing out on some of the best products! Which brings me to my second card…
