Half-Sheet Tapered Gift Box & Slit Z-Fold Card

Today’s projects, a half-sheet tapered gift box and a slit z-fold card, feature the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper, the Wild Ferns stamp set and dies, and the Magnolia Mood dies. I think the Designer Series Paper really elevates these projects!

Isn’t the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper just gorgeous? It’s my favorite paper in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog! Let’s get to the projects!

Half-Sheet Tapered Gift Box

All you need to create this cute & squatty gift box is a 6″ x 12″ piece of patterned paper! It will hold a handful of treats or a small gift!

I added a Velcro closure, but you could use magnets or punch holes and tie a bow! Here’s how the box opens:

And here’s a peek at the inside space:

This would be a great gift box for a table favor or just a pick-me-up gift for someone! One last look:

Slit Z-Fold Card

This Slit Z-Fold card is sure to wow the recipient! It’s such a cool fun fold card!

I had fun figuring out how to cut the Designer Series Paper panels! This card folds up to fit in a regular A2 (medium) envelope!
