This is one of the new items that is in the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog called Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes. These boxes look just like the boxes that the Paper Pumpkin kits come in…except they are white. The box measures 5 7/8″ x 4″ x 1″ and they are the perfect size to put in a set of four Note Cards and Envelopes.
I created a belly band to go around the box from Real Red Cardstock and the a piece of the Poinsettia Place Designer Series paper. I adhered both pieces together and then scored the piece at 2″, 3 1/8″, 10″ and 11 1/8″. I used Tear & Tape to adhere the two pieces together. You could also use Stampin’ Seal Plus. The Belly Band will slide off and on the box, so you want to use an adhesive that adheres really well.
The Poinsettia flower on the front uses all the Poinsettia die cuts from the what else, but the Poinsettia Dies. There are two dies for each size petal – one that cuts the outside shape and the other that embosses the petals. I gently folded each petal of the flower using the center “vein” of the petal as a guide. This gives the flower a little dimension and makes it seem more real.
The Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes are very versatile as they are also food safe. The inside of the box is coated, so although I filled this box with Note Cards, you can also fill this box with homemade goodies like cookies or fudge. It’s perfect for gift giving! And it’s a great bargain…you get 10 boxes in a package for only $7.50!
