Stamping Sunday Blog Hop — Party Perfect — Holiday Book Gift Boxes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for December 2025. Our theme this month is “Party Perfect.” I was in the process of making table treats for a dinner party, when I realized this theme worked perfectly! I had already made four Book Treat Boxes for a party earlier in the week, so I thought why not make four more for the next party?

I started by stamping and embossing the large floral image from the Christmas Greenery Stamp Set twice on the front cover. (I admit that I also tried stamping on the back cover, but it was an epic failure. So I wanted to warn you not to try. There are some strips of adhesive pre-positioned on the inside of the box that prevent a clean image.)

Next, I die-cut the pine needles from different sides of Mossy Meadow Two-Tone Cardstock and the holly leaves from different sides of Old Olive Two-Tone Cardstock and added ink blending to all of them with the same color ink. The slight variation in color of the cardstock, along with the blending, starting at the bases and fading upward to the tips, adds interest to all the die-cut elements. Finally, I used a Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush to add splatter to each one.

I also cut Branching Out berry die-cuts from Basic White Cardstock and colored them with Stampin’ Blends Markers. I used a “deep” brown for the branch and Real Red for the berries.

To hold the box together, and make it easy to open and re-close, I used Real Red Shiny Ribbon captured in place by a Traditional Labels die-cut. The top decorative layer of the label is cut from Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper, but I reinforced it with a second layer cut from Real Red Cardstock. That way, I could add strips of Dimensionals under the top and bottom of the label allowing the ribbon to slip through.

The sentiment is from the Greetings For You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. I LOVE that pack! It’s chalked full of sentiments, all in gold foil. They are so, so pretty and easy to use.

Each box is filled with Christmas treats. I also lined the bottom of the box with Traditions of Christmas Designer Series Paper as well.

These treats were super easy to duplicate so I could make one for each guest.

Be sure to continue on through the rest of the blog hop for even more inspiration.
