Today’s project is a Nothing’s Better Than Cakebites Gift Box! It features the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set paired with the Playful Alphabet Dies to create a fun, spirit-lifting gift box!
Cake… because adulting is hard! Can I get an amen? I fell in love with the “adulting is hard” memes years ago and boy do they ring true today, huh? Here’s a different view of the gift box:
And here’s a closer look at the amazing Rainbow Glimmer Paper popped-up letters paired with this great sentiment from the Nothing’s Better Than stamp set!
Here’s how the Cakebites (which are delicious, by the way) fit inside the box:
I found the Cakebites on Amazon! This is a really easy box to create! You can get 4 lids out of one sheet of 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper and 2 bases out of one sheet of 8-1/2″x11″ cardstock.
Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:

Julie I just found Cakebites at Publix. I got Orange Creme & Italian Rainbow. They also had Lemon & Pumpkin Spice.
I was so excited to see them because I remembered this video..
Thanks for all of your great projects!
Hello Julie and thank you so much for your constant, wonderful inspiration!! I’m an Italian living in NM and this time I’m interested in what’s in the box for a change – LOL! I know everyone’s taste buds are different, but in your opinion, are the Italian Cakebites good? We don’t have an Italian bakery here and I would love to order these for the family. And of course present the yummies in your adorable box!! thanks for letting me know! Maria
Hi Julie, I tried to make the cake bites boxes according to your measurements and was an inch off on the lid. Maybe I just read something wrong, but I think it should have been 4 by 7.
Hi Leslie! For the box base, did you cut it to just under 5-1/2″ x 7-1/2″? I double-checked all the measurements and they are correct. For the box base, you are scoring at 1-1/2″ on all sides and for the box lid you are scoring at 3/4″ on all sides.
Such a handsome little fellow. Enjoy your time with him.
Love your projects…new subscriber…wanted to know if you could do a tutorial on how to come up with a box from scratch when you need it for gift or treat. I’d love to know how to measure & create a box regardless of what I need to gift. I want to also know how to modify dimensions if need be. I have scoured interest YouTube & pinterest with no luck. Please help & thanknyou very much.
Julie is the master of gift box creations and she has a ton of video tutorials available. I save every one of her box posts to Pinterest so I can easily locate the size I need. Julie’s videos are amazing…very clear and easy to follow!
I love this box! I just ordered some of those little cakes also.
Happy Birthday to your walking buddy.
Happy Birthday to the Pixie’s pumpkin!
