I’m excited to share this Tidings & Trimmings Gift Box with you today! This Christmas gift box features the Tidings & Trimmings Bundle and is sized to fit a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake and a gift card! What a fun gift for the holidays!

Here’s a closer look at the front of the gift box:

And another angle:

This is such a fun size for a gift box. It can hold so many things! A slice of handmade soap, a handful of chocolate, a pair of cute Christmas socks… I’m sure you’ll find some other great gift ideas to fit!
I’ve added a Velcro closure and here’s how the gift box opens:

Without further ado, here’s my video tutorial:
Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

If your Designer Series Paper does not have a directional pattern, you can strategically cut all 6 pieces of DSP that you need from one sheet of 6″ x 6″ paper! If you are using 6″ x 6″ paper and your paper pattern is directional, just the 1-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ piece will need to be cut from another piece of 6″ x 6″ paper. Here’s a handy reference template for you:

I had so much fun designing this box and hope you’ll have just as much fun creating it yourself! If you do, I’d love it if you shared in on social media with the hashtag #paperpixie and I’ll be sure to check it out! I can’t wait to see yours!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I had already bought the Little Debbie Tree Cakes and have been searching EVERYWHERE for a cute box in which to package them. You are the answer to a prayer. Love your blog and your great ideas. Merry Christmas from a grateful reader.
Yay! I’m so happy to hear I had the project you were looking for! Honored to inspire you! ❤️
Thank you for all your informative videos and patterns. I just completed a lot of the mug treat boxes. So cute!
I am trying to enlarge a pattern for a candy bar box. How and where do I make the adjustments? It needs to fit a
candy bar that is 7″ long, 2 1/4″ wide and 1/2″ thick. I just can’t get it. Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Hi Julie….I have been getting your emails ..thank you for that…but for some reason there is no P anywhere so that I can save it to Pinterest..I have been getting your emails for quite some time now…and was always able to save them..but not so lately….has your format changed?
Hi Cathy! My format hasn’t changed – there is a Pinterest button at the bottom of each post, but you’ll need to go to my blog to see if – it won’t be in the email that goes out. Let me know if that still doesn’t work?
Such a cute box! I made one this afternoon, your instructions were so easy to follow. Thanks so much
