Welcome to Stampin Dreams Blog Hop! We are a group of Crafty Collaborations from around the world, and we bring you inspiring ideas with Stampin’ Up! products on the second Thursday of each month. If you are new here, Welcome! If you are a subscriber, Welcome back! Each month we will bring you projects to help inspire your creative side. Now let’s get to the fun!
Today, we are working on gift packaging ideas for the upcoming holidays. These are great for your mail carrier, coworkers, church friends, and, of course, family.
First up is this Dollar Tree crate. It is covered with the Garden Walk DSP and paired with the Rustic Crate bundle. The poinsettias are colored in with Stampin’ blends of Light Calypso Coral and both the Light and Dark Poppy Parade blends.
The crate is done in Basic White, and it is two pieces adhered together to form a pocket for the poinsettias to be tucked in. Star Adhesive-Backed trinkets are in the center of each poinsettia. Then, the Real Red and Gold Online Exclusive ribbon was added for a final addition.
Two mini jam jars will fit in here, or two of the dollar tree jars will fit in here too. You could put in a bath scrunch with bath and body products and wrap it in a cellophane bag.
Who do you know who would love this sweet gift?


For the next gift packaging, think of the person we never know what to get, a simple gift card/money box, or even tucking in candy below the gift card/money holder.



For our last gift packaging idea, here is a sneak peek of an upcoming suite from the Spring Mini catalog. Bee Mine suite. Here is a Square Pillow box. Used a blending brush to color the box with Daffodil Delight. Added a strip of the DSP and a piece of the Sweet Sorbet ribbon to hold the box close. Stamped the bee body, wings, punched it out with the Bee Builder punch, and finished it off with three of the Adhesive-Backed Hearts and Flowers. How adorable!!

Now let’s head over to the next demonstrator, Mo Rootes-crafty-rootes (UK) in the blog hop.
