The star print papers Nancy used for this gift box are a perfect fit for the Christmas Star Gift Box. It opens on the top and can be filled with treats! For the sentiments it also includes "Merry Christmas" and "From Our House to Yours."
Stop by The Nickel Nook for more photo details of this Christmas and other wonderful projects by Nancy.
The Christmas Star Gift Box design is just one of many designs at MyScrapChick created by Paper Closet Designs.
Sue from Sue's Stamping Stuff used the spring gift box design for her Ladybug Box with Handle. The great thing with Paper Closet Designs is that Tracy often includes a selection for sentiments with her files along with all the themed embellishments so you have all you need for a finished project.
Sue's Ladybug gift box may not be a Christmas theme but it was just too cute not to include and you can see more details at Sue's Stamping Stuff. Besides EVERY file is on sale right now including the Ladybug Gift Box

Large Gift Bag Designs for Christmas in July by Cyndy G.
Hello crafty friends today I am sharing some new Christmas bags. I like to make special bags for my gifts. It really adds a personal touch. I have three different size bags to show you today.
10" wide x 9.25" tall x 3.75" deep
I made this bag using some of my favorite Christmas papers but the fun thing with this large bag design is you can use it for any occasion just by switching up the papers. Use themed papers for birthdays, graduation, Mothers Day, etc. You may even want to coordinate your bag with a handmade card using the same papers.
A large gift bag edged in delicate snowflakes.
8" tall x 11" wide x 4" deep
You're sure to find a bag to fit your gift. Have fun choosing from all your favorite papers to make just the right gift bag.
Thanks for stopping by today.

This swim suit design is flirty and girly. Use your favorite colors and prints to design just the swim suit you love. And instead of the typical round buttons you can add butterfly buttons like Christi did to coordinate with her butterfly papers.

Sometimes all you need is a comfy chair and a good book to relax and rest. It's something we all need or long for from time to time.
The Comfy Chair Easel Card sends wishes for that peaceful relaxing day.
The layers for this chair let you pick your own fabrics and style from your paper stash. Here's some more designs from our Design Team that reflect their own personal style...
Julie chose one of the sentiments that came with the file "Wishing You A Restful, Peaceful, Beautiful Day". She choose a floral print along with stripes and solids and the perfect pillow.

"I wanted to share a card I made specifically for a friend who is going through some health issues and I thought this card would be the right "touch" to let her know I am thinking about her."
"The fun with putting this card together is selecting the papers/patterns for your chair ;) My friend really likes retro - furniture, clothes, hair, etc. ... so I tried to make my chair with that concept in mind." ~ Nicole
The Comfy Chair Easel Card is 6" X 6" and folds flat for mailing.
It includes the printable tags included below.
