Soap Gift Box and Card

In this post, I’m sharing a Soap Gift Box and coordinating card featuring the Boughs of Holly Suite! The soap box is sized to fit a Shea Butter Cleansing Bar from Bath & Body Works and the card is a beautiful diagonal design, great for showcasing beautiful paper!

First, let’s start with the Soap Gift Box!

This gift box reminds me of a cute clutch! I sized it to fit a Bath & Body Works Shea Butter Cleansing Bar AND a gift card to make a great gift! Here’s what the box looks like open:

The tabs are optional, however when I asked my live audience which they preferred, #teamtab was the clear winner! For the closure, I used a Velcro Thin Clear Fastener.

Here’s the template for reference (not to scale):

Now, for the quick & easy card!

This card is inspired by a Christmas card I received last year from my customer Lisa Karst! I fell in love with the layout and had to try it myself!

All you need is a 4-1/4″ x 7-1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper and a 1/8″ x 5″ strip of glimmer paper (or a coordinating cardstock color) for the card front. In landscape, add a pencil mark at the top 2-3/4″ from the left and add a pencil mark at the bottom 2-3/4″ from the right. Line up the pencil marks and cut on the diagonal and you have 2 diagonal pieces ready for card fronts!

You can get three (3) 4-1/4″ x 7-1/4″ pieces from one(1) sheet of 12″ x 12″ patterned paper if you cut your paper like so:

And if you stack all 3 pieces in the same direction, you can cut all 3 at once and have diagonal pieces ready for 6 cards!

Without further ado, here’s my livestream replay where I demonstrate both projects for you:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!
