Today’s project is an Essentials Kit in a Box!
Here’s what the box looks like:
Here’s a closer look at the top of the box:
And here’s a closer look at the compartments:
Wouldn’t this be an amazing box for teachers, daycare workers, healthcare professionals, first responders, delivery people… and I could go on and on! Everybody needs these essentials! And what a great little random act of kindness!
Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:
I worked hard at the measurements to ensure this box could be created with one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ card stock, so here’s the cutting template:
And here’s the template for the box:

Thank you for this perfect little box. I am making some for the flight attendants on our flight to South Africa in a few weeks. The items inside are perfect too. Love it!!!
Hi Julie. I’ve had this project saved for a while and finally made one yesterday. While shopping today, I bought the items to go in it but the tiny hand sanitizer I got doesn’t fit. Where can I find the smaller rounded one you used for the demo?
I just love your projects. Planning early for Easter and birthdays this year.
Hi Vicky! It’s the Bath & Body Works PocketBac ❤️
Thank you so much. Such a fun little gift idea.
I am a new stampin up demonstrator and was recently introduced to your videos, blog and page. This little box is so cute and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks for posting it.
Thank you so much, Pam! I am honored to inspire you! Welcome to the Stampin’ Up! family!

Wow! What a great box and a terrific idea. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love your box! Great idea! Where do you purchases the plastic sleeves for your 5 x 7 magnetic sheets? I’ve looked on Amazon and can’t them but I have 12 x 12 for my DSP.
Love this for a winter pick-me-up for a friend. I’m sure you already know this but w/o the inserts, the box is perfect for a purse pack of tissues as well. I made both versions and stacked them with your ribbon belly band. Thanks ever so much for the inspo.
I love your posts..You are just amazing and delightful. Thank you
Perfect little box for so many things. Love it Thank you
