12 Days of Christmas - Day 6!

Hello friends and welcome to day 6 of our blog event!  Thank you all for your commiseration about infant sleep schedules - just when you think you have it down, it changes, right?!?  :)  Well, Amelia took a 2 hour nap this afternoon and I got a couple of projects done, including these quick and easy pillow boxes!

We give a lot of gift cards and will do the same this year since shopping will be more difficult with little A along for the ride.  I took a couple of pre-made kraft pillow boxes and stamped sentiments on them.  I then stamped ornaments in coordinating colors, cut them out, and tied them to the boxes with baker's twine.  Easy peasy and a nice package for an easy gift.

Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for visiting!  Here are the rest of the ladies who are participating in this fun blog event - I hope you have a chance to visit them!

  1. I'm so glad you had a few hours to yourself to craft these boxes are a great way to give gift cards cause it is still like opening a present I have to make 10 gift card holders for my daughter and I think I just made up my mind what to use thanks

  3. These are absolutely adorable; simple pillow boxes transformed into little containers of prettiness! Good to hear the little one had a nice nap, giving mom some play time - and you used it well!!

  5. First of all, THANKS for this great idea! I have several little things to wrap up...which would take forever to find boxes small enough and then another whole bunch of forevers to wrap them! Problem solved....these sweet little treat boxes wrapped in twine and prettied up with a stamped die is the perfect solution. Love the 'rustic' feel of your creations :)
