Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Holiday packaging. I have made a pretty, hexagon, gift bag to hold a necklace for my daughter. I saw this sweet box on Youtube made by Crafty Karen designs
Colours used to make the ornamental hexagon gift bag are:
To recreate the ornamental hexagon gift bag, you will need:
Balmy Blue card – 8½” by 5½”
Traditions of Christmas dsp – 3⅜” by 1⅞” x 2
Scrap Basic White
Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the piece of Balmy Blue at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. I rotated the card 90° and scored again on the short side at 2”.

I placed the scored Balmy Blue card onto the Silicon Craft Sheet and used the scoring tool to score an X, from corner to corner in the 2nd and 4th rectangles – see template. I then scored from the centre of the X to the top of the same rectangles.

I added the panels of dsp to the unscored rectangles and folded and burnished on all the full lines. Using my fingers I lightly manipulated the X’s scores.

Using scissors, I cut off the small rectangle from the ½” tab and wedged the longer side. I then cut up each of the 4 square bottom tabs, removing the score line.

Glue was applied to the ½” tab and the box was closed. The bottom flaps were then closed and the last one glued into position.

A handheld ¼” punch was used to make holes at the top of the front and back panels. Ribbon was fed through to hold the box closed.

The pine tree from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set was stamped in Balmy Blue ink onto scrap Basic White card before being die cut using the Ornamental Christmas Dies.

The sentiment, from the same stamp set was then stamped in Night of Navy ink onto the same scrap card. I punched it out with a 1” circle punch. These were added to the front of the box on Dimensionals.
