For my Facebook Live video this week, I demonstrated how to make this stationery box that would be great for a Christmas gift or small gift for any occasion. I used the new Ever Eden Designer Paper that coordinates with the Eden’s Garden bundle, which will be in the new mini catalog coming out in January 2022. The great news is that these products are an early release, and you can order this bundle and coordinating products now!
Although I am highlighting the Ever Eden DSP, this project could be made using any of your favorite Designer Papers and coordinating cardstock – the possibilities are endless.
I will be sending an email to everyone on my email list with the directions for all of the cards, gift cards, and gift tags that I had inside the stationery box. If you’d like to receive it, please make sure you’re on my email list. You can sign up at the box on the right side of this page.
The box is not hard to make. If you missed the video with the directions, you can view the replay here.
Here are the dimensions for all of the pieces of cardstock and Designer Paper you will need for this project. For my sample, I used Evening Evergreen cardstock and the Ever Eden DSP as well as a bit of Gold Foil for the sprig embellishment.
